D&AD Awards is recognised globally as the ultimate creative accolade. This year, our own Panos Vassiliou will be the President of the Type Design Jury. Along with a team of international design experts such as Daniel Escudeiro, Soulaf Khalifeh, Min-Young Kim, Ksenya Samarskaya, Kris Sowersby, Qian Sun and Jim Sutherland, will select the most visually arresting typeface designs of last year. Submission deadline is March 17. In his own words, Panos Vassiliou stated that "Competition will be fierce, judging will be strict, but winning a D&AD Pencil could be one of the most defining moments of one's career".
