D&AD highlight Japanese talent
D&AD held a very interesting discussion panel in Tokyo recently. ‘Creative Faces’ is something new from D&AD. It’s their way of highlighting up and coming talent in different regions producing great creative work. The first outing was in Japan, while launching the D&AD exhibition at ADMT.
With Akira Odagiri of Ogilvy & Mather Japan as Chairman of the panel, D&AD invited 2 top creatives from Japan and 2 from the UK to take part. Each judge championed a creative team or person they admire. Each member of the panel brings a different area of creative expertise to the selection.
The exercise gave a great insight into some of the emerging talent in Japan. Here’s what the panel highlighted:
– Akira Odagiri selected Oshiuri
– Garrick Hamm, D&AD President and Creative Director at Williams Murray Hamm selected GT Inc.
– Joe Ferry, Head of Design at Virgin Atlantic selected Hironao Tsuboi Design
– Koichiro Tanaka, Creative Director at Projector, Inc selected W0W.
– Soeda Takayuki, Founder of Soeda Design Factory selected Home Inc
