Computer Animation Arts

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.
