It's just been announced that everyone's favorite Brody (sorry Adrien), Neville, has been hired to design this year's D&AD Annual. Brand Republic is reporting that the famous designer's firm, Research Studios, has landed the project after being selected by Simon Waterfall, the president of the organization. Will it include a lot of type? Or an clever, edgy'd-up update on his 1985 cover for Kurtis Blow's Party Time single or his work for Depeche Mode's Just Can't Get Enough? Only time will tell, as the annual is released in September. Here's some:

Waterfall, who is creative director of digital agency Poke, said: "Neville Brody's Research Studios has been crashing digital and graphical worlds together since the beginning, and it's fantastic that he has agreed to interpret the Annual this year."

Brody said: "Designing the D&AD Annual is a great honour, and, more than that, a great challenge."
