4. …knowledge is available on every Internet-
connected device, what you know matters far
less than what you can do with what you
know.
The capacity to innovate — the ability to solve
problems creatively or bring new possibilities
to life — and skills like critical thinking,
communication and collaboration are far
more important than academic knowledge.

GRAPHIC DESIGN/COMMUNICATIONS

11. Adverts are powerful things: they make
us laugh, they make us cry and they make
us spend our money. Perhaps above all,
old adverts can evoke nostalgic
memories.
Christmas marked the 22nd anniversary
since Coca-Cola's Christmas advert. The
"Holidays are Coming" jingle has since
become synonymous with the start of
the festive period.
ADVERTISING/COMMUNICATIONS
The battle for the most popular
Christmas advert in 2016 is one
that cost UK companies around
£5.6bn as they competed for their
campaigns to be the most effective
at pulling on the heartstrings.
Could you, one day be developing one of
the most memorable Christmas adverts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DACZe9uJ1ng

Album artwork

16. Interview with Kadir Nelson
How did Drake become aware of your work?
Drake was recording at Marvin's Room, the recording studio in Los Angeles,
where I have a number of paintings displayed. He liked them, so he called
me out of the blue and asked me if I'd like to do the cover art for his album,
which I was thrilled to do.
What is your advice for young artists, including those who aspire to a
body of work like yours?
I think it's just important to really follow what drives you creatively. More than
being creative, no matter what discipline—painting, fashion, industrial
design, cooking, writing, or mathematics—it's important to really do what you
love doing and find whatever it is that drives you and gives you that feeling
of joy. It's fuel; it makes for happier, more productive, and fuller people.
Whatever you're doing, become a master in it, and then share it with
someone else. Pass it on to someone else, to young people, so that the
tradition can be continued.
