Hope wins a D&AD Pencil

The book “Nada” (Hope in English), created and made by Bruketa&Žinić OM, together with Adris, for the Adris Foundation’s tenth anniversary, won a D&AD Wood Pencil in London. D&AD is one of the most respected international awards in design and advertising, awarded by the British organization of the same name, while also being the biggest British award of its kind.

The D&AD pencil is internationally recognized as a symbol of the highest creative achievement and Bruketa&Žinić OM are the only winners from Croatia this year.

     

The Adris Foundation has helped hundreds of projects in Croatia. Gathered in one place, in the book “Nada” (nada means hope in Croatian), they give hope that Croatia has a future. The book is sensitive to touch. The more it is used, the more hope there is. Twenty-four top Croatian illustrators contributed to the book by displaying each of the twenty-four biggest projects in the fields of science, education and creativity that have been supported by the Adris Foundation.
