How can you convince skeptics that arts education provides future-proof skills in a working world threatened by AI?

The Creative Futures campaign serves an eye-opening realisation to school teachers and parents who are skeptical about the value of the Arts: Tomorrow's working world depends on creativity.

The Challenge

Many respected white collar jobs face elimination within the next 15 years due to the implementation of AI and automation. Thus, having creative and soft skills will be vital. By highlighting the potential for future shortages of these skills, the campaign challenges the pressures students face to abandon creative subjects for academia.

Handmade Textures

The array of pulsing colours and textures showcase the vibrancy, dynamism and unbounded possibilities of the UK's arts industry.

The Soundscape

Using art tools, I created textural sounds to further enrich our animation. These added extra emphasis to our motion sequences.

Tackling Misconceptions

In rich discussions with students and artists, parents and school staff were frequently cited as sources of misconceptions and discouragement around pursuing the Arts. We identified the concerns that fuel these misconceptions, and addressed them with logic and reason in the Creative Futures campaign.
