Every creative is still a learner. Still Learning Live from D&AD explores the ways in which even the most esteemed and established creatives incorporate learning into their practice.

    How widows, sharp points, Craigslist and more taught me a thing or two about creativity

    I came from a very eclectic background into the “advertising world” – design, digital, entrepreneurial-ship, brand side – for me the best creativity comes from outside the familiar thinking in advertising. In this session, I’ll share some important learnings that helped me through my path.

  • Ben Parker Ben Parker, Founding Partner, Made Thought

    Create What's Next:  What happens if 160 million creatives design a Plastic Free world?

    The plastic crisis is a gift. A fossil fuel defibrillator alerting humanity that we need to rethink our entire production and material systems. But this isn't about the future, this is about now. A wrecking ball of change is already in play. The choices we make today determine the shape, the fabric and the future of the world around us. It is the creative industry that need to lead this extraordinary reinvention, but this revolution is already well underway… so if you not a part of it then where on earth are you?  If we’re not driving change, then we’re simply passengers heading for a future we should be part of creating.

    Hear from Ben Parker, Creative CoFounder of Made Thought and Patrick Keogh from PlasticFree on the extraordinary and optimistic future that is accelerating towards us.

    We Make Belonging

    When I was at Central St Martin's and the Royal College in the 80’s I believed I was capable of doing anything, nearing the end of my MA I realised the tutors were a bit nervous as they thought I would never get a job with my approach! When I left University I realised it was extremely hard to get people to listen to my thoughts beyond the Graphic Design input they wanted from me. I spent years being frustrated that my work was controlled by others who had a different outlook on me, I felt like an outsider. In response, it made me more determined and I had my mission to change this situation. I instinctively carved my self my own space between Design and Art.

    Ideas Unlocked
    ​    Creative thinking for the real world

    Forget the eureka moment and creative geniuses. Us normal folk live in the messy real, where good ideas are hard, and difficulties lie all around. But every one of us is born a problem solver. A natural. We just need a chance to learn and practice every day the steps that can get us to the ideas that can inspire people, change things, and solve any problem. In Ideas Unlocked you’ll learn, and use, five P’s that take you from problem to pitch, navigating some of the pitfalls along the way. Useful, real-world tools for work and for life, for individuals and for teams, for new starters and seasoned pros. After all, every problem is a chance to learn something new.
