Would you mind helping an art director who also lectures in art direction schools please: what has been the most exciting or memorable or useful lecture in your Art Direction school/course as students? I want to give real value they can spend professionally and not blah blah, so I am interested in what you people have considered a valuable input.
Please no suggestions like "Change your studies until it's too late" (because I have already done that lesson haha --and they are still there)
