Nobody's good enough

Journal Entry: Fri May 16, 2008, 8:38 AM
Last night, the great and the good of London's advertising and design industries sat down at a $400-a-head dinner to see what had won at this year's prestigious D&AD awards.

For those unfamiliar with the D&AD awards,(which by the way, stands for Design and Art Direction Council), it works like this:

A piece of work that is considered very good is 'nominated' from the thousands of entries.
A great piece of work gets awarded a silver (which is actually a yellow pencil)
And an earth-shatteringly good, career and category defining piece of work gets a gold, (which is actually a black pencil)

So here for your viewing pleasure I bring you the awards, from the "Photography" section from today's D&AD winners website:




Quite amazing, don't you think?

Are they saying that there was no really good photography was used in ANY advertising or ANY design last year?

The 'typography' section is the same, despite some fantastic poster work going up this year in Europe.

The arrogance of award's judges amazes me!

Nice gallery!
Especially I like your photos of different cities.
It’s great that I recognize at once places where I have been and it’s really exciting to see new ones. I’m sure they would be just like on your photos )
