Poster advertising an exhibition of 21 years of work from Design and Art Direction (D&AD) at the Boilerhouse, Victoria and Albert Museum. The poster is dominated by an expressive illsutration of the end of a yellow pencil which points at a small photographic image of a man carrying a briefcase. The background is grey. Yellow pencils are the awards given by D&AD and the man perhaps represents the professional designer following a brief.
