New blood at D&AD
LONDON: A panel of judges last week selected this year's Best New Blood – the most promising student work on display at the biggest graduating creatives exhibition of its kind held by D&AD in London. Forty-one students were awarded from across the UK, Singapore, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Winners are invited to exhibit their work on D&AD talentpool, join the graduate placement scheme and are given New Creative Membership for one year.
“I visit the D&AD student exhibition every year with my collegues,” said Onno Hesselink, creative director at Luon in Belgium. “It's a great opportunity to spot new trends in advertising and design. The UK definitely has a big tradition when it comes to typography and this year some of the best work showed it again...I'll be back next year.”
