Post With The Most New Designers Special Edition 30/06/2015

A very warm mid-Summer welcome to this special edition of the Computer Animation Arts Post With The Most, in which we showcase the work of our graduates exhibiting now at this year's New Designers show at the Business Design Centre , Islington, London. New Designers is an annual showcase of the very best in graduate design from universities around the UK.

Graduates of Computer Animation Arts have won multiple awards at New Designers and secured internships, commissions and employment.
