We couldn't let the opportunity of doing something very special with the 50th Annual pass us by. So as a parting gift, our President Rosie Arnold asked 50 of her creative friends and heroes to design covers for us. We’ve done the maths, and that makes 50 covers.
The Annual covers have been designed by:
Alex Taylor / Bob Gill / Daljit Singh / Daniel Barber / Daniel Eatock / Danny Kleinman / Dave Dye / David Adjaye / David Bailey - Kiosk / David Droga / Derek Birdsall / Ed Morris / Eine (Ben Flynn) / Fabrica / Graham Watson / Grant Parker / Harry Pearce / John Hegarty / John Lloyd / Justin Tindall / Mark Denton / Mark Reddy / Mark Tutssel / Mary Lewis / Michael Johnson / Michael Wolff / Miles Aldridge / Nadav Kander / Neil Dawson / Neville Brody / Nick Knight / Nick Park / Parra / Paul Belford / Paul Smith / Paula Scher / Peter Kennard / Philippe Stark / Quentin Blake / Rankin / Rich Kennedy / Richard Seymour / Rob Reilly / Simon Waterfall / Stephen Gill / Storm Thorgerson / Terry Gilliam / Tony Davidson / Wayne Hemmingway / Wim Crouwel
Getting your hands on them if you’re a member:
D&AD Members will be able to order a limited-edition Annual complete with a full set of covers, allowing them to choose which of the 50 they use. Pre-order them here.
