There is no denying that the past 12 months have thrown a big curveball our way. Even the most creative minds out there could not have anticipated how the past year has unfolded. Lockdown has impacted us in many different ways, but has it stifled our creativity? Are we in the midst of a creative crisis and how will this affect the creative industries? Let’s take a look at this further.

Examples include the performing arts, computer games, literature, advertising, radio, TV, fashion, visual arts, crafts, video and film, architecture, publishing, music, and media.
