To coincide with some broader changes, we will be adding substantially to the Education section of the site this year, with further work and careers related content. As part of this, CST creative director Dave Trott has kindly agreed to our reproducing some content from his excellent blog.

My art school was in Brooklyn.
They used to send us into Manhattan once a week, to learn from the pros on Madison Avenue.
One evening, while I was waiting for the class to start, I was sitting in a coffee bar on Times Square.
I noticed a black girl sitting at the counter.
She had a white Band-Aid on her leg.
I though, hang on, that’s supposed to be flesh-coloured Band-Aid.
But it’s not her flesh colour.
Why not?
