D&AD Student Awards
April 24, 2012
Finally an update on my third year university work!
I recently tackled two D&AD student award briefs, and here are the results:
Illustration:
An original cover illustration for Little White Lies magazine, depicting the main character of the movie Black Swan.
Digital Compositing/Digital Illustration
Advertising:
An identity and a TV spot designed to brand and to launch a new over 60′s channel for Channel4.
FRAME4 from Jirka Vaatainen on Vimeo.
Even though I failed to get recognized in the actual awards, it was refreshing to get to work on live briefs. And I do believe that the end results are definitely a great addition to my portfolio.

I love this work. How did it feel to be working on live briefs? Were there any negatives or was it all positive?

Thank you! It was all positive really. The only this I found tricky was not being able to find a way to explain or present my technique behind my illustration entry when submitting.
