Q&A: Andrew Rae

Computer Arts: What did you think of the standard of entries in this year's D&AD Illustration category?

Andrew Rae: I know this is the usual response after judging, but the standard was hugely varied and the process of judging was really difficult. The judges all had such differing opinions that it was very difficult to reach a consensus. I went in this year hoping to champion illustration, because there were no awards given last year, but it's quite hard. A lot of good illustration work out there wasn't entered for whatever reason, so in that context the one pencil we awarded was pretty good.
