D&AD is launching…

D&AD is launching its annual this week, featuring the winning entries in its Global Awards 2007. This year’s book was designed by the Benetton creative hothouse Fabrica, based in Italy, and is the first annual not to have been created by a UK consultancy. Next week sees the inauguration of Simon Waterfall as the new D&AD president when his successor for next year will also be named. This president-elect will be the third designer in succession to take the helm, Design Week can reveal.
