The International Society of Type Designers annually holds an editorial design competition aimed at design students under the “Student Assessment Scheme.” Several different briefs are released each year, allowing students to select the topic they find most personally compelling. Contest winners are recognized with an invitation to membership in the society.

Of the many 2022 briefs, I chose to investigate “Lighthouses of the World.” Students who chose this brief were encouraged to conduct thorough research in order to create a book that explores lighthouses from a specific and exciting new angle. Naturally, I was immediately fixated on locating and documenting haunted Irish lighthouses.
