D&AD AWARDS ANNOUNCED

Thursday, April 30th, 2009 by Mike Rigby

So the D&AD awards have been announced today. We got a couple of projects ‘in the book’ here at True North. Congratulations to Ady Bibby and Matt Maurer for their work on the Royal Mail yearbook and also Stuart Hendry’s identity (Photographer). Congratulations to Olly, Craig and everyone at The Chase for their 4 in book projects. But the biggest pat on the back must go to our friend – and sometime Preston lecturer – Griff.  See Billy’s post below for the details. Best of luck Griff.
