Week 3: Guest Talk -Andrew Calcutt-

-Guest Talk: Andrew Calcutt, Field Reader of Cultural Study & Creative Industry- 

Sum up, he talked how creativity and industry connected and they became a 'brand' for London through 300 years. 
Before the historic lecture starts, he suggested us to see a website which called 'The Sartorialist.com'. The small niche blog (but became famous) was suggestive example of creative industry now.
These days, most factories had gone to other low wage countries. UK used to have strong connection between creators and industries after the Industrial Revolution. However, the recession makes them separate and their business harder. Therefore, artists and designers have to seek their original way to survive, like the blog. The issue remained as a good starting point for my essay. 

Questions for Andrew:
1. Is the creative industry at risk of disappearing if its continue to outsource?
2.How do you think the Internet, social networking and online shopping has effected the creative industry?
