The cover of the first D&AD Annual from 1963

PENCIL Exhibition - 45 Years of Creativity from the D&AD Annuals

19-23 September 2008
Royal College of Art,
London


Launched as part of The London Design Festival, the exhibition displays the complete set of Annuals for the first time. Each year a leading creative designs the book under the stewardship of that year’s D&AD President, including Michael Wolff, Sir Alan Parker, Sir John Hegarty and Simon Waterfall.

Exclusively for the exhibition, each of D&AD’s past Presidents have selected their favourite piece of work from ‘their’ Annual. Two copies of each book will be on display, one closed to show the cover and one open to the work chosen by the President. Alongside the books will be a commentary by the President explaining the rationale behind their choice.
