Russ Tucker’s D&AD report – Day One

Judgment – day 1.

When they say D&AD is tough – they ain’t joking.

The digital jury last year only awarded three yellow pencils from thousands of entries. Ouch.

Under the wise gaze of Sir Bob Greenberg, R/GA – we have been commanded to whittle down the short-list and get to the game changing digital work.

We thought we were doing well but last count 300 pieces were still in the pre-judging so day 2 will be tough.

Make sure you keep your video short.

Don’t talk about the twitterverse or blogosphere.

And try not to use the phrase ‘world’s first’ – just explain the idea.
