Paul Arden passes away
We are saddened to hear of the passing of former D&AD President's Award winner, Paul Arden.
D&AD Chairman, Anthony Simmonds-Gooding:
"Paul Arden was one of the most exceptional creative directors I’ve known, with an individualism and passion for perfection that resulted in some of the best advertising of the 80s and 90s.
He was awarded numerous Yellow Pencils throughout his career, and a Black Pencil in 1991 while still at Saatchi & Saatchi. Graham Fink presented him with the President’s Award in 1996 for a contribution to creativity that really can be considered outstanding.
Paul’s passing will leave a hole in British advertising – his idiosyncrasies made him unforgettable and his generosity and encouragement to students and young creatives is an example to all."
View an example of his work, 'Relax' for British Rail which won a Yellow Pencil in 1989.
