Applied Arts Design & Advertising Annual Arrived… Young Blood Broadcast Graphics Feature

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:19:20 +0000

Issue 132 of Applied Arts just showed up. It’s the 2010 Design & Advertising Awards Annual, and despite having probably the creepiest cover shot ever, it’s the issue that features the Heineken Draught Experience piece I did last year. It received a ‘Young Blood’ award for broadcast graphics, and appears on page 181.

Lots of great work as always. The winning broadcast and motion graphics entries should be posted on the Applied Arts site shortly, but if you haven’t seen it yet, here is the Heineken piece:
