What is Creative Advertising? its sort of graphics on steroidsWe are looking for high-energy, idea-fuelled students who are not content just twiddling around on a Mac.

This course specialises in conceptual thinking to the highest degree, getting to understand human behaviour and looking for insights; then developing killer strategies to ultimately create some of the most high-profile creative communications in the world.

Advertising is like a graphics course on steroids, said one of our students. And its true. We are looking for high-energy, idea-fuelled students who want to do more than sit at a Mac twiddling around with logos.

This course is about conceptual thinking to the highest degree, getting to understand human behaviour and looking for insights; then developing killer strategies to ultimately create some of the most high profile communications in the world.

What makes a great advertising student?A bright and agile mindAn interest in peopleGood problem solvingBe a spongeLike current affairs.Design skillsA love of languageLove communicatingBe wittyBe edgyAnd a little odd!

You may not have all of these remember there are 2 roles to fill, art director & copywriter

A bright and agile mindAn interest in people lets call it people-watching!Be a potential problem solverKeeping up with current affairs.Be wittyBe edgyAnd a little odd!Be a sponge - Soak up the world around you. Watch films, read books, be aware.Possess design skills and have love of language and communicating - Its great if you have graphic skills, but its not a necessity - some of the greatest creatives cant draw for toffee. As an advertising creative you will have opportunities to work with top writers, film directors, photographers, illustrators and designers to make your ideas the very best they can be. Equally with writing, its about how people talk to one another, not formal language, so you may not be an A star English student, but just love talking!
