I just don't know what to do with myself....

Well D&AD New Blood is packed up and over...




It was good fun while it lasted. We also managed to squeeze in a workshop at a digital agency called R/GA. They set us a brief to advertise a new bubbly chocolate bar called 'Mars Bubbles' and find an idea that could be used across all media. T'was really informative so we'll probably pop back for a book crit. Was also really interesting to see work from other teams in the same position we are.

We also fitted in book crits with Adam & Eve, Dare and Ogilvy. The consensus seemed to be that there are no placements left in London this summer, but we will keep trying! They all gave us some great feedback and were really encouraging about the future.

Vicky and I have now parted for a few weeks to get some more work done, and hopefully earn a bit of money as I am currently the poorest I have ever been, ever. I would ideally love a bit of work at a local agency to tide me over and get some experience. But for now I am unemployed and in and out of the local job centre, how lovely.

Business Cards

Vicky and I have had to come up with some new business cards in time for our stint at D&AD New Blood. Therefore we've been researching for some creative inspiration - here are some of my favourites...

The show is open to the public from Saturday the 26th of June - 28th so book a ticket on dandad.org and come on down....

Here are some of the fantastic posters created for the event:

Competitions

All our competition work has been sent off. We've got two entries in the YCN student awards and two entries in the D&AD awards. How exciting !

We've got our fingers crossed but just look at how big the D&AD awards are...



We made the silly mistake of showing our entries in our London book crits, after we'd sent them off. Frustratingly we got loads more ideas and ways to improve! Oh well, too late.

We'll obviously post immediately if we get any good news!
