His interest and growing up in the punk movement inspired him to become a graphic designer, it was interesting to see this talk as it gives you a scope into what the real world practice of graphic design entails it was quite shit to know that aspects such as time management and workload do not become easier. But still a valuable insight into what the corporate/business side of graphic design entails. 

Rod Clark showed him the potential of graphic design with examples such as his swiss punk style in his magazine cover designs.

He spoke of employing people not based purely off talent, but their motivations and passions for design in general. Also stating that the study can burn you out with so much work, so he took a year out to travel which is a decision he doesn't regret. This is something I plan to do after I qualify from university, as way of taking a break from education.
