LONDON, Today: D&AD has appointed a fourth Kiwi judge for D&AD 2021. He’s designer/developer Nick de Jardine of Wellington-based website design shop Grafik.
Jardine will serve on the Digital Design jury.
“I’m inspired by print,” he writes. “Print design has so many ideas and is much more refined. I like to take ideas that work in print and then adapt them for online.
“Because of the bad weather, we retreat into our caves and spend many months hibernating — perfect for creativity.”
“Wellington is known for average weather, the arts and its bureaucrats. It’s a cool little capital city, with a vibrant creative culture and some excellent designers.
“Because of the bad weather, we retreat into our caves and spend many months hibernating — perfect for creativity. Then when summer week arrives, all productivity is thrown out the window as we flock to the outdoors.
The other three D&AD Kiwis are: Auckland-based Alt Group strategy director Felicity Stevens, who will sit on the Design Transformation jury, Klim Foundry Wellington typeface maestro Kris Sowersby (on the Type Design jury), and Glue Society Wellington director of film & experiences Pete Baker, who’s on the Entertainment jury.
