Our lead interview gets under the skin of Scott Dadich, creative director of Wired – the magazine that art directors the world over turn to for inspiration. Pentagram partner Luke Hayman dissects his favourite redesigns, and in a special project on music design, we explore the album artwork of Mogollon, Big Active and more. Print is a beautiful craft, otherwise we’d all have gone digital years ago, and you wouldn’t be holding this magazine in your hands. With this in mind, we asked Fluid Studios to reveal the process behind a recent project combining all manner of tactile treatments – from sculptural embossing to coloured foil blocking – as an inspirational benchmark for your own print work. For good measure we’ve thrown in a handy reference guide to special inks, stocks and bindings, and turned the tables with a printer’s perspective on the headaches that preflighting laziness can cause on the print floor. As a special treat, there’s even a free eBoy poster tucked amongst our pages, courtesy of pixart.it. Find out more at computerarts.co.uk

It needs people to recognise it, to start … taking risks.” The hundreds of digital design graduates who submitted work for this year’s Graduate Showcase, out now with the latest issue of Computer Arts, are shaping not only their own futures but the digital future across entertainment, advertising and the media. This year’s Graduate Showcase has for the first time been judged by a panel of high-profile industry experts, and as well as viewing the work in this supplement, you can watch a selection of the finest animation and motion work submitted on the Computer Arts issue 165 disc. As well as the Graduate Showcase, this month’s issue features 29 pages of exciting new Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Flash techniques, plus tips on building a better portfolio and being more commercial, an interview with design icon Paula Scher, stunning cover art by Chrissie Abbot and much more.

Many of them crop up again within this action-packed character design issue, sharing their techniques and inspirational advice – including in-depth chats with TADO and Jeremyville. Monsters are a character designer’s dream, and there’s no shortage here, from a behind-the-scenes look at DreamWorks’ recent hit Monsters vs Aliens to a glimpse into Peskimo’s beast-making process. But humans can be much trickier to pull off convincingly, so sharpen your observation skills with our tutorials on facial emotions and sketching a caricature. Customised designer toys are still big business, but don’t be daunted by the notion of sculpting your own: Lunartik gets out the sandpaper and resin for those with time on their hands, plus we dip a toe in the burgeoning trend for origami-style papercraft. As if all that’s not enough, there’s also the chance to win an eye-watering £10,000 of 3D character design training at London’s Escape Studios.

Since then he has helped it grow to a team of 13 over three studios working on everything from branding, to films and advertising campaigns. Highlights include the ongoing relationship with Ministry of Sound, which has seen the London club brand reclaim its status as one of London's 'coolest' venues again and striking pieces for smaller leisure clients, such as Geisha, which won numerous interiors awards when it opened back in 2005. Here he shares some insights into his career, inspirations and methods.

We also look back over 34 years of technical breakthroughs from ILM, whose innovations have transformed the entire 3D industry. Also this month, as controversial new website VFXWages promises to tell 3D artists whether their salaries are above or below the average, we investigate how accurate the data is – and whether it really helps in pay negotiations. Plus there's practical training for every major 3D package, a look at the making of Watchmen's Doctor Manhattan, a CD featuring software, models, textures and video training worth $515 and much more.
