What does the future hold for the D&AD Annual?
The D&AD Annual: for 48 years it’s been landing with a thump on your desks.
For anyone with a creative bent the pull of paper was once universal. These days the tactility of a pile of the stuff reminds us of a planet in crisis – deforestation and waste. And that smell of a newly printed page… toxic solvents and dead rivers in China?
