D&AD has revealed the winners of its 2022 Awards
D&AD has revealed the winners of its 2022 awards programme, which includes five Black Pencil winners, the highest level of achievement.
The winners were announced over two ceremonies which took place on Wednesday and Thursday. A further 78 Yellow Pencils were awarded, the second tier of awards.
Google was awarded a Black Pencil in the product design category for its work on Real Tone, a suite of improvements for the Pixel 6 camera and Google Photos application which seek to more accurately capture different skin tones.
Leo Burnett Chicago won a Black Pencil in both the direction and branding category for The Lost Class, where it held a graduation ceremony for 3,044 who would have graduated this year if they had not been killed by a gun. It has special resonance in a week where the US was rocked by another school shooting, which resulted in the death of 19 school children in Texas.
