Whether you're looking to hire or be inspired, there's something in the latest issue of Computer Arts for you. We've scoured the UK to bring you the very best of 2014's new design, illustration and motion graduates: from Falmouth to Glasgow, you'll find our pick of the year's finest creative talent inside this month's magazine.
What's more, in a CA-first we teamed up with D&AD New Blood to set an open brief to design the issue's cover.
Paddy O'Hara is the talented man behind the lemon-fresh artwork fronting issue 230 – and yeah, we only went and did a scratch and sniff finish.
