Why don’t we have people of this calibre and talent any more?
Because all you young creatives think you know everything!
Old creatives don’t know everything? At least some young creatives are willing to be proven wrong 🙂
The problem is creativity isn’t that important anymore.
just look at the work coming out.Its a money game.
You can’t blame the young creatives, most of seniors are still trainees.
No no no, 5:28, I’m old, grizzled and twistled*. That’s how I knew who they were and asked the question. Or were you being ironic? It’s so hard to tell these days.
*new word, invented specially for this post. Ehhh, it’s Friday night.
We did until Gen Y and Gen X came along and gave us all the shits
finally, some different judges than the standard group we constantly see with every show.
Nice to see guys of this caliber on an awards jury.
Andy, having navigated your post, neither is literacy.
Old admen are kidding themselves if they think they’re of a better calibre than new admen. We’re all admen you sad people – get over yourselves. Sure Old dude’s spent ages crafting copy and kerning type, but they also did 2 ads a month. And most of them were beautifully crafted crap. Seriously, have you looked at some old ads lately? Sure there’s shit that still holds up, but a whole lot of it is absolute bollocks. Grab an award annual from 1986 (random date) – you’ll find work that old men have built their reputation on and that you’d tell a student to throw in the bin (and not cos it’s “been done before”). But the point is, you can probably say the same thing in 15 years time about the stuff that’s being done now. back in my day…
