Current Issue
The Winter issue of Applied Arts magazine focuses on the cornerstone of advertising – creativity. Our cover story asks who and what inspires some of the leading Canadian Creative Directors while our columnists delve deeper into what it means to be a "creative", how to be creative in the face of austerity and what creative tools and assets can an agency offer that can't be obtained through in-housing.
Our most popular issue of the year offers over 115 pages of creative inspiration from industry-leading advertising agencies. The SickKids VS campaign, which transformed the category of giving, was created by Cossette and is featured on this cover.
