In partnership with Ireland's Imram festival , which celebrates and reveals the depth and diversity of modern Irish literature through poetry, prose and music , DIT's visual communications students created a wave of postcards which visually present a poem submitted. 16 postcards were selected to be distributed though Dublin and displayed at on one of the exhibitions.This being one of them, which visually presents the poem Morse my Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh. Throughout my reading of the poem there is a repetitive sound which creates a sense of anxiety and discomfort, visually representing it through Morse code along with the vibrant colour allowed me to emulate this feeling.
