The Art Directors Club, the first creative collective of its kind with global membership in design, advertising and visual communications disciplines, has selected its 2008 Design Jury to be led by Dana Arnett, VSA Partners, USA. Hillman Curtis, inc., USA, will serve as Interactive Foreman. The Interactive Foreman will provide state-of-the-art digital leadership for six digital design professionals within the Design jury. "The preponderance of digital tools in design led ADC to incorporate rather than silo interactive entries and judging talent," said Ami Brophy, Executive Director of the ADC.
