A Touch of Grass
I was privileged to provide the graphic design and artwork for Alan Kyle’s memoir, A Touch of Grass. My goal was to create an attractive and professional layout that honors Alan’s fifty-year journey in Northern Ireland farming. The book is a fascinating historical record based on daily diaries Alan kept since age fifteen, documenting the evolution of agriculture from the 1940s at the Diamond, Fintona, to modern dairying at Lisahoppin. It captures the trials of “battling the elements,” the transition to low-cost, grass-based milk production, and personal family milestones.
I focused on meticulous detail to ensure this rich collection of stories, photos, and agricultural wisdom was presented with the excellence it deserves.
