6 of The Best - D&AD Nominations 2021
/2021 has been a vintage year for the Graphics Course here at Preston, not only did we scoop 6 nominations in 6 separate categories in this yeas D&AD Global Student Awards, but these nominations now take our 20 year tally to a remarkable 180 student D&AD successes.
This grand total only covers the past 20 years and with the D&AD student programme initially starting in 1980 this means there is another previous 20 years of student success that can be added to the current tally of 180! After consulting the archives and a few old sagely tutors, we now estimate that the Graphics course has amassed probably in the region of 300 + D&AD awards since the schemes inception.
A quite remarkable statistic and one that bares testament to the ideas based philosophy which is at the heart of the course of study here at Preston. These accolades bare witness to this tired and tested creative thinking philosophy that runs deep and one that has helped the course gain such a revered reputation and renown, both in educational and professional circles. Here’s to the next 20!
