I found that listening to other peoples experiences and jobs within the creative world very interesting. I love the way they used humour within their presentation of their work and informed us of how it all began and how they were inspired. Patrick Chappette's talk was very much political and global, which usually i find it hard to grasp as i switch off to it, but bringing in humour and images made it very interesting and enjoyable. Maira Kalman's talk was very much based on her personal experiences, which i found very interesting in the way she uses images for adults or children and even brings humour to it.
