Discover the best new talent

For the last four years, this special issue has also featured a collectable cover that demonstrates an exciting new print technique, thanks to our special finishing partner Celloglas. These have ranged from lemon-scented varnish to transparent glitter foil – and most recently, Mirriboard.
The result of an annual cover design contest in association with D&AD New Blood, the covers are designed by a student or recent graduate, and they sell like hot cakes.
