Had a great time at the D&AD Newblood exhibition today.
Here are some pics.

Overall the D&AD New blood event was a
massive hit. The talent out on show was superb and I was really impressed by
the 'can do' attitude and highly motivated young designers out on display. It
was also really reassuring to see no egos on show and that the focus was about
helping these talented young people find dream jobs or get a foot in the
increasingly difficult door of the creative world.
The highlights for me were the advertising
and illustration stands - really high level and credit goes to the tutors who
had a nice mix of traditional and new contemporary approach to their design.
It
was a real honor to be welcomed so affectionately and I can’t wait to go back.
