“We’ve shown that even a volcano can’t stop Judging from going ahead -an event that really showed the industry’s commitment to D&AD, withpeople driving across Europe and changing their schedules at very shortnotice to be here,’ said D&AD President Paul Brazier.  

“There’salso been speculation about the impact of the recession on creativity. From what I’ve seen so far, though, this all couldn’t be further fromthe truth.  Maybe it’s because creatives are used to turning negativesinto positives, but right now I’d say that great creativity is winningthe day against the forces of the economy and nature.”
