“The GDR report is a designer's roadmap to leading edge design. Each issue fills me with envy, lust, pride and wrath.”
Creative Director
EMEA, NIKE Image Design
“At the Drapers Fashion Summit, October 2005 in London, speakers were rated from 1-4, with 1 as poor and 4 as excellent. GDR's scores were: Content: 3.4 and Presentation: 3.7”
Karen Hutt, Conference Producer
Emap Conferences
“Seeing design excellence across diverse disciplines is invaluable. Whether it's creative, commercial or 'blue sky design' - we always find GDR’s presentation inspirational, thought provoking and commercially relevant to our ongoing design strategy.”
