Quote of the week
“The creative industry hasn’t called on the government for a bailout, and hasn’t increased the national debt. In fact, we contribute £8.8 million an hour to the UK, so you might even sleep better at night working in the creative industries, knowing that you’re helping the nation’s coffers.” Include Design founder Joe Macleod is one of several experts who respond to claims from business leaders that having an arts degree will stop you from getting a good job.
Our favourite website
