D&AD. And the winner is....the internet 

Comments:1   Add your comment
Doh! The groans from the TV posse last night at D&AD's ceremony were pretty much uniform when instead of awarding a commercials director or adland Creative Director the lifetime achievement award went to the Internet.

Sir Tim Berners Lee, inventor of the WWW got his first ever creative award. My how things have changed. 

The other big winner was nike+. No surprise there. I was going to do a long and supremely intellectual post about D&AD for the first time truly rewarding a creative business idea rather than something that just looked pretty but I'm too hungover.

You get the drift though don't you? Things that are useful, innovative and all that jazz are much more interesting than things that just look nice. And it's going to stay that way for the forseeable future. (Until it becomes fashionale to do the opposite).
