all his artistic work though came from his tutor
Paul Rand who according to Cooper taught him
everything thing he knows today about his job

grew a friendship from this and Rand evolved

5. Why he Inspires me
Cooper inspires me from his profession because of his raw
talent. He knew from a young age what he was good at and
what he enjoyed doing and by combining these he has become
the most famous in his profession. Cooper is probably the most
underappreciated in film and television being consistently
unaccredited for his work but in my eyes this just makes him
better because it’s not about fame or money for him it’s just
doing what he enjoys and I believe anybody with that mind-set is
going to achieve any goal or aspiration they set themselves. If I
could do this in future life with whatever target or situation I find
myself then I would be extremely happy because it’s a mind-set
of someone that can always achieve and be at their potential, no
matter the job whether it is in Media or a Sport or a regular job it
is a key life lesson that Cooper has always achieved and that is
why he inspires me.
