Dan Formosa heads to Cannes

Organisers of the 62nd Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity have announced that award-winning designer Dan Formosa will preside over the Product Design jury at this year’s Festival.  Formosa was a member of the team that designed IBM’s first personal computer. To recognise the complexities and time taken to bring products to market, Cannes Lions has introduced a two-year eligibility date range for the Product Design category (1 March 2013-30 April 2015). The products the section caters for have also been extended, with two new categories for Toys and Promotional and Bespoke Items.
