Day 20: London, England

Day 20 was a big one for this blogger; After 2 months of anticipation, the big day was finally here, it was time for the D&AD student award show. You see, two quarters ago, we all participated in a competitions class at school. The object of which was to complete briefs set forth by major design and advertising competitons (one shoe, d&ad, Cannes, etc...) with the hope of doing great work and maybe winning a prize. We completed a brief for the British tv channel e4 and their Monday night movies. It was pretty funny. The D&AD folks agreed and so, there we were. If you'd like to see what we did, go to operationbangersandcash.com and check it all out (the main video is our fundraising pitch, the commercial links are on the bottom left, I think...).
We were all a little nervous (and busy sizing up the competition), thankfully the D&AD folks thought of that and brought champagne.



Our category was the third one called and....

We won the second prize on our category! We got to get up onstage and shake the hands of the head of D&AD as well as a nice guy from e4. It was all an awesome blur.



We promptly set to work doing funny things with our new trophies.



Thank you Miss Porters School for all you taught me.






After we'd had a little more fun, a lot more booze, a rest at the apartment and some more photos...



we were ready to party.












It was a long and extremely awesome day and there are hardly words to express how excited we all are to have this honor.

After a very brief nights sleep, Christy and I got up to participate in a highly honored British tradition.

Until later,
