The latest copy of Computer Arts, issue 246, is on sale now – and we think you'll agree that it's been worth the slight wait, especially as the cover's been splashed with heat-sensitive ink by our print finishing friends at Celloglas.
To reveal the names hidden on the cover you're going to need to bring the heat. You can do that by giving it a vigorous rub, blasting it with a hairdryer, or giving the mag it's own hot water bottle. We wouldn't recommend throwing it in a volcano, it makes it hard to turn the pages.
You can check out how this reactive cover was made in the video below, then it's on to the sizzling articles themselves. The headline feature is a 20-page ranking of the UK's top design studios, how do your favourites fare?
