D&AD Award Winners

David McG. sent me a link to some of the winners, to be frank - I think they are really weak - and there is NOTHING here we didn't cover - there are very clear elements of work by Robert, Leah, Tom and David in here - it just shows how 'on message' we really were. The only thing I like is the presentation of the 'newspaper' books - nice gradient background to black and the text material laid over the top - books themselves underwhelming. The torn and curled paper version is very 'student' and we went for professional.

Guys, I think you did much better than this - and I'm not just saying that.

  1. agreed.

    load of nonsense, to be daily mail about it. it's quite disheartening to see work that is worse than pretty much every one of our entries to that brief winning.

    one on there is like the shit bastard child of mine and rob's. like if sienna miller and ryan reynolds had a child and it came out looking like sarah jessica-parker.

    the humanity.

  2. There is some quite bad design on display - the Oaty snack thing, with the black and the patterns, has some really pointless twiddly typo and is actually quite ugly. You just wouldn't pick t up off the shelf, and it suggests that the contents are burnt. Would make nice shoe polish packaging.
