LONDON – D&AD’s New Blood Festival 2018 is right around the corner. New Blood Festival brings together emerging talent and industry professionals for a double whammy of Fringe events and a free exhibition. The exhibition sees university courses from around the UK showing off their very best students’ work. It gives industry professionals the chance to meet new talent and young creatives the opportunity to network and skill up. It’s free to enter but you need to register
Here are five reasons why you shouldn’t miss this year’s New Blood Festival:
Real talent realises talent. Whether you’re a recent grad looking for your first step into industry or a Creative Director scouting for fresh, fearless talent for your team, New Blood Festival is the place for the new creative generation and industry to meet face to face.
Chicken Shop Date and 31 more talks, workshops and Fringe events over three days. Ameila Dimoldenberg, Central Saint Martins grad and CEO of hit YouTube series Chicken Shop Date, is just one of the many creative leaders providing first-hand, relevant advice for making it in the creative world
Take a break from work and have a play. From Adobe’s Hidden Treasures of Bauhaus Dessau to the world’s most creative case of beer, there are plenty of interactive experiences, workshops and activities to stimulate your creativity through play.
See the future on display. Over a thousand graduates from some of the best creative courses will be showcasing their work alongside the New Blood Awards 2018 Winners Exhibition, giving you the chance to see the next crop of talent before anyone else.
