D&AD's Best New Blood was at the The Old Truman Brewery last week, if you missed it you can find the full list of Best New Blood 2010 at D&AD New Blood
Due to the growth of the digital world within advertising I was expecting to see a large amount After Effects and Cinema Pro used within the motion graphics, however I was pleasantly greeted with stop motion and illustration. Posters were bold typographic screen prints, illustration was painstakingly inventive and photography was simple and striking (see above)
Although I now have a career in advertising, my portfolio post degree was a combination of illustration and stop motion video, I have to work a lot quicker these days and mostly on the mac, the show was a nice reminder of award winning experimental creativity.
