UTS Library proudly showcased four video campaigns by students from the Bachelor of Design in Visual Communications program as part of the D&AD New Blood Awards.
The D&AD New Blood program is open to students, recent graduates, and aspiring creatives 18-24 years of age and aims to help young designers launch their careers. The New Blood Awards receive entries from over 40 countries with a highly competitive judging process determining prize-winners, who can receive a Wood, Graphite, Yellow, White or Black Pencil. Taking home a Yellow Pencil is considered a highpoint of any career, not only for the prestige of the award but for the professional advancement and opportunities that come with it.
In 2017, UTS students Annabel Cook, Lina Lindberg and Samson Ossedryver won a Yellow Pencil for their campaign Down to Business. Up to No Good. In 2018, two UTS Visual Communication student teams were awarded 3 pencils at the D&AD New Blood awards ceremony in London. The Dirty received a Yellow and White Pencil and Stack received a Graphite Pencil.
