LONDON: Members of seven design juries for the D&AD Awards 2008 were announced yesterday, Monday, 29 October 2007. Due to its size, Graphic Design will once again be split into three juries, headed by Tony Brook of Spin, Aziz Kami of Kantar Group, and Adrian Shaughnessy of ShaughnessyWorks.
“Having been asked by D&AD to be a foreman in the Graphic Design section of this year's Annual, my excitement is mingled with a sense of responsibility,' said Brook, creative director at Spin. “Sitting in judgment of so many hopes is heavy stuff. Like a cub scout, I promise to do my best.”
The other juries announced yesterday include:
Book Design: foreman Irma Boom
Branding: foreman Michael Johnson, johnson banks
Magazine and Newspaper Design: foreman Terry Jones, i-D Magazine
Packaging Design: foreman Phil Carter, Carter Tomlin Wong
