"Ive took perhaps his biggest professional recognition yet, a special award in recognition of his world-class achievements in design. He was awarded the D&AD President's Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry. This award is chosen by D&AD president Dick Powell... Thrilled, Ive accepted the award. Jobs then climbed the stage, hugged Jonathan Ive and took the microphone to deliver an upbeat speech praising Apple's legendary designer."
Apple took home Silver Awards for both the fourth-generation iPod and iPod mini in the 'Products for the Home' category (Yellow Pencil) and a Silver Award (Yellow Pencil) for the Cinema Display in the 'Product for Work and Industry' category.
