Arrest All Mimics Podcast: Creative Excellence & Awards

Written by Ben Tallon

The relationship with awards in the creative industry is something of a Jekyll and Hyde one. The buzz of a win and the hurt of missing out. But creative excellence must be rewarded, right?

I'm joined by Bruce Duckworth, co-founder of brand identity design firm Turner Duckworth and 2016/17 D&AD president, to discuss his own background, inspirations and why it's crucial to stand back and allow people to be brilliant in order for them to flourish.

We discuss his time as D&AD president, how he feels about the new generation of creative talent and the challenges that await them in industry. 

I also chat to several graduates showing their work at the New Blood awards including 'Ones To Watch' winners and their plans heading out into the creative industry.

It's a fascinating look at experience extremes, Bruce with 32 years and industry wide respect and the new generation of talent with the world and all its possibilities ahead of them.
