“Great artists, designers, musicians and writers are … ordinary” is the reassuring opening statement of this book. I chose it because it looked accessible – something I could dip in and out of, read on my journey to work. I also thought it might help me to think like you creative students.

‘Do what you like’ – in certain circumstances only!
