Seven young illustrators have contributed to a short film on the benefits of mobile technology made for Nokia by Build. In an accompanying extra film, the illustrators talk about their craft

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a means of communicating between digital devices by tapping one on the other - think Oyster cards. Build asked seven upcoming illustrators discovered at last year's degree shows to respond to a script by Nicola Place and Nick Asbury.

The featured illustrators are: Nina Cosford, Tom Edwards, Sam Falconer, Pete Gamlen, Sam Hawkins, Hannah Rowlands, Aaron Vohra, and Joe Luxton. Cat portraits by Jason Tozer.

Some of them talk about their work in an additional film about the project which also includes contributions from Amanda Moorby at D&AD and CR's Patrick Burgoyne
