Brendan Foreman has many years experience working for Irish design agencies and the cultural sector. He was resident graphic designer with the Abbey Theatre for 8 years and a director of Graphiconies – a design studio specialising in the cultural and social sectors – for 10 years. His posters have been shown in Dublin, Paris, Stuttgart, Munich and Rzeszow and published in Graphis International. The National Print Museum are currently showcasing the Museum’s collection of his Abbey Theatre poster designs from the 1980s in an exhibition curated by Dr Linda King, entitled Poster Boys, running until December 2025.
He was a co-founder and creative director of Public Communications Centre, a leading strategic marketing, campaigning and fundraising agency for non-profits,
and has worked with state, semi-state and non-profit organisations in Ireland and abroad.
“Brendan Foreman is without doubt one of Ireland’s leading designers of any era. He is unique in his formation, his influences and his talent. Most contemporary designers have learned their trade on the keyboard. But Foreman is one of the few designers in Ireland who has worked through a number of seminal traditions and crossed seamlessly into the new digital frontier of quality design.”
"When I’m looking for a designer who both understands what I need but also brings something new and wonderful and unexpected to the process, I always go to Brendan Foreman. He never lets me down.”
