Yes, 2Pac said it. And even if it's just a song (a brilliant one) about racism, prejudice and injustice, there's a sentence that is relevant to us creatives. "You see, the old way wasn't working, so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive." Time moves extremely fast around us and it's easy to get stuck in one way of working, the way you've always done things. So push yourself to change and make sure you're passionate about what you spend the majority of your working life on.

With this in mind, and in the interests of helping demystify who does what, check out some of the most common job titles below, and what they really mean.
