He was certainly an engineer - but was he "a creative"?

In my view he was a craftsman and a genius - but was he "a creative"?

 

The department of Culture Media and Sport might not think so

and while I don't like to spam (and I don't think this is)

you might want to read this e-petition that has nothing to do with Issigonis personally,

but might have a lot to do with the next Issigonis or the next Josiah Wedgewood.

 

Lots of traders on this forum make stuff, invent stuff, create stuff and re-purpose stuff for us

all to enjoy - they are "craft" people according to the dep't of CM&S and are therefore "not creatives".

 

You decide - and if you decide that while an IT analyst "is" considered to be "a creative" while a skilled

carpenter, potter, ceramicist, seat maker, upholsterer, coach maker (or even a maker of gauge faces) isn't

then you might want to sign the e-petition.

Signed the petition, I have no idea where some of these departments get the ideas for their policy

Signed. Jesus Christ, some organisations are ran by absolute out of touch buffoons these days. Craftsmen not creative, what a laugh.

Depending on your beliefs it sounds like they want to promote their own flavour of elitism and downgrade  God or Evolution.

 

I think it was Dr Alex Moulton who said, "For designs to work, a designer has to be an engineer first ".
