D&AD New Blood aims to champion, educate and support emerging creative talent to help people gain a foothold in the creative industries. Established by industry great Sir John Hegarty, the 2020 Awards marks 40 years of New Blood.

The creative campaign has been created to reflect this. The campaign design contrasts exposed grids with eye-popping abstract shapes and a bespoke symbol set.
