Post With The Most New Designers 2017 Special Edition


Welcome to this special edition of the Computer Animation Arts PWTM showcasing the final films of our 'Class of 2017' CAA grads who spent last week exhibiting their work at New Designers, Islington, London.  New Designers is an annual showcase of the very best in graduate design from universities around the UK. New Designers is affiliated with scores of leading companies and organisations which recognise the value of design education and its contribution to the UK's creative industries. The graduates of BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts have won multiple awards at New Designers and secured internships, commissions and employment.  As importantly, the show compels our bright young things to get into the habit of talking about their work with confidence and getting people to engage with them, which is no small challenge given the scale and competitiveness of a big London show.

You win some and you lose some, and while Computer Animation Arts didn't walk away with any specific silverware this year, our 'Big Brain' show stand was very much the talk of the exhibition. The concept behind this year's design was simple; we wanted a quick visual means of communicating the breadth, depth and range of talents embodied by our graduates.  Put more simply, our grads have huge creative brains and we wanted to show them off!
