D&AD 4seven

Just a heads up for next year, we will be covering this brief in more detail at the time but to give you a change to have a creative brewing period over Christmas here's the basics.

The 'Design & Art Direction' awards is a highly respected and challenging contest held each year in London, with briefs that cover all kinds of design disciplines. We will be asking you to create an entry for the 'Moving Image' brief as part of your second semester work; this year the task is to create a motion graphic ident for Channel 4's new catchup service 4seven.

For full details of the brief check the link below or the noticeboard in 312.
