D&AD – New Blood Winners — The Disciples Of Design

We’re happy to share our annual D&AD New Blood Awards update:

This year, we have two more pencils to be proud of. Mohamed Makkan (aka Jibby!) brough home the much coveted yellow for his response to the Christopher Ward brief. And Chris Dempsey took away a wood pencil for his work on the Morris & Co. brief; both awards were picked up at this year’s D&AD New Blood ceremony in London.

The New Blood Festival provided a great opportunity for students and staff to reconnect with our friends in London. It was pleasing to hear industry feedback on all students’ work, with a particular nod to sharp ideas which cut through the noise of a visually noisy environment.

We were also chuffed to receive three ‘ones to watch’ prizes, awarded to Sannah Ali, Connie Dickinson and Emma Yeomans.

For staff, all work on display was true to Preston thinking and craft, work we are proud to show; and the above prizes just ice the cake. See all the class of 2025 here.

Soak up the work below, look at other entries; and enjoy a few snaps from the Festival.
