It's always a pleasure seeing Aardman's Gavin Strange on stage, and D&AD Festival was no different. Gavin closed the festival with an optimistic and high-energy talk that implored the audience to "just tinker, just play, just experiment".

Elsewhere at D&AD, inspiration was abundant. There was a deep dive into the making of The New York Times Magazine covers, an exploration of creative mistakes from Baxter & Bailey and a journey through sonic branding from MassiveMusic. And we've got more coverage to come, too.
