Kevin, this is totally random, but I would love your opinion on how you would approach a situation where the company is looking for someone who understands the consumer/strategy behind the why and can speak to that. How would you be able to answer that? What, in your opinion, would the ideal candidate say/show? Especially someone who does not have too much strategy experience?

Can i go into art direction with architecture degree? Provided i learn all the necessary skills on my own for art direction

hello!! i am a student, really interested in art direction (in the near future), and this motivated me very much! thank you!

I disagree, the two tone logo at the beginning pops way more

Great information!

this was so so so helpful I love you thank you

This was super helpful! Love the detail and tips

Hello, do you have a recomendation on where to study a master in Art direction that teaches how to use AI also? I just finished my Advertising degree and would love to be prepared in this area :) thank you!

Thank you. now i know what to do next 🙏🏽

bro looks like bonzo from fishing with flair

My bf is an art director for TV and film and he does a lot of set building, buying, hiring, then sells props back to stores at the end of the shoot. Usually, it's the film director with the overall vision, but the art director can tell them what they're able to do with the budget (budget always has to go over in order to get something worth producing, but the producers always shoot low with the original budget to keep production from going too high) and brings ideas to the table on how to do it or how to make it even better. So there is creativity involved; He has a very quick way of visualizing what a general idea should or could look like and uses his creativity to problem solve. But you also have to be VERY good with people. You work with a lot of people and vendors during a long day of prep or shooting and you won't get called back if you are rude or just in general bad with ppl. You have to start as a PA or assistant. If you are handy but also creative and can work long days, then art in film might be doable for you. But my bf is hyperactive and easily bored and this job is perfect for him, so you would be a bad fit if you don't like a ton of physical activity or need lots of sleep. But you stand by on shoot days waiting for mundane tasks such as resetting visual elements of scenes, whether you are the art director or assistant. So it's a balance of working your butt off and then being patient and waiting around for the next scene or reset.

this was very valuable!

Just discovering your channel and it seems like everything I’ve done thus far in life sounds like Art Directing. I always enjoyed creating something that has never been seen or done before. Sometimes I have to use my graphic design skills, my photography skills, my videographer skills, my music skills, or even my own looks to showcase the art thats inside of me. This is truly amazing to finally put a title on what I want to do in life and fully pursue it. Thank you for your content.

You overlooked a few things, like directing on set, where you create the scene and tell the story visually. Plus, being able to draw storyboards is a big plus. And if you mix in some marketing and understanding how customers think, you're into visual merchandising. More skills mean more doors open! 😅 In a nutshell, an Art Director is someone who sees things differently, always aiming to tell a story that touches people's hearts and guides their feelings.

Other than great a great portfolio and skill sets, I’m pretty anti social and public speaking is not my specialty I’m in my first year of GD and would like to be an art director do you have Tips or tricks on this aspect of the job?

Are the softwares you listed still relevant to learn in 2024?

what are some good portfolio schools in Los Angeles?

Very informative and helpful video

You should check sora from Open AI now

What program do you like to work with?

Man this sounds so fun! I would love to be in your shoes!

I have imposter syndrome bad! I am 20 years outdated and just started my bachelor degree in web design. I’m so scared I’m not good enough.

Very helpful and informative

I'm a Cinematographer whose now applying to AD School here in Scotland and I'm a bit intimidated haha. I'm not a graphic designer and have zero interest in being one. I'm more drawn to copywriting, tv and web adverts given my background in production. Not sure what to focus on in order to one day become an Art Director if I personally do not have these skills that many if not most will have.

this is gold

Dude I really love that video, it gave me a good push and already excited for my next presentation, Thanks

I have question, what if you just want this career as side job, is this a good career for like part time hobby? Sorry if i cant be anymore clearer

I am currently in my second year of studies and I had no idea what I wanted to do when I got out off school. After watching this video, it really gave me a boost. I plan to major in Art direction and I feel super excited about it. Thanks Open Door Creative!

This is cute, more of this please with this cartoon design

I loved this video! You just unpacked it all for me, very enlightening!!! Thanks!

Yess I am interested

What I'm actually wondering is if you can make a video that goes more in-depth with your techniques of actually creating the logo in illustrator. The tools, shortcuts, etc you use in your day to day design. I see a lot of videos going over the general approach to this but I have been finding it hard to find videos that actually show the process of making it symmetrical and balanced! If so, major thanks from an inspiring graphic designer :)

if not clothing, food and cars. what are some products you recomed taking. really helpful video, thank you so much

What was your route to your career? What did you major in?

whats the legal folder for?

✋ "promo sm"

great insight, tip: change music:))

Thanks for this video! Just curious what's that table you're using? Love it!

I’ve recently discovered your channel, and wanted to let you know I think your work is awesome! You’re a great resource for an aspiring designer!

I’m primarily curious/concerned about the “safety” of using these tools without it possibly biting back in the future.

I’m so glad to see other industry professionals as pumped as we are about these disruptive changes to our industry (and lives). We’ve spent the last 6 months reassessing our internal processes and inserting AI wherever we can. Everything from research to concept development. Keep it up!

I applied for graphic design for a small company and ended up with junior art director responsibilities. Help

I learned a lot. Awesome video

This was dope!❤ THANX! 🎉

21 years old watching this video because I'm a hard-core gamer a fan of open world games, I idolize Rockstar Games as my inspiration for wanting to try to join the Rockstar Games team as an art director or for any other major studios, only problem is I know nothing about game development, I just have a good imagination and as you stated in the video I'm just trying to get a lifelong career going, where do I start? What websites do I go to do I need a PC?

thank you
