Laura to help town turn over new leaf

A 21-year-old WIT student is literally putting her mark on the heritage town of Lismore.

Laura Keane, from Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, has won a competition to design a brand logo for the town of Lismore in Waterford.

She created a “leaf” motif to claim a €3,000 award, to be divided between the third-year BA design (Visual Communications) student and her college. The motif will now represent the heritage town across a range of merchandise and services.
