<You’ll be pleased to know that I’ve tried and tried to make this blog part of my website but have failed so far, so I’m sticking around for a bit.>
Last week, I exhibited at D&AD, It was a great experience. Above is a photo of our stand where we exhibited and a table in the center for our portfolios. It was really good seeing so much good work there, scary to see the competition I’m up against but I’m willing to take on the challenge.
The Four days of networking and the heat were punctuated with talks from Design Agencies like Design Bridge and Navy Blue. It was really good to meet these guys and if you’re reading this, thank you so much for letting us look around your studio.
It was also good to meet like-minded people who were graduating at the same time, everyone is in the same boat so it was good to speak to other graduates.
One other thing that I did learn, is that I’ve got a lot of hard work to do. I definitely want to keep looking, drawing and being inspired. It was a highly inspirational experience and I loved every moment. I definitely want to be doing this kind of thing more often, getting involved, speaking to people and constantly learning makes me smile!
Sadly we watched England get kicked out of the World Cup in our four days there, In ShellSuitZombie’s room with bean bags and free beer, (I don’t like beer but I had my ever reliable bottle of water!) It was sad to see England get kicked out.
To round up D&AD, it finished with the D&AD student awards. Two of our Advertising Students won commended for their E4 Monday Movie Nights. Congratulations Girls!
