Art Director Design Challenge: Think Fast

Order up! This month's art direction challenge was focused on November 16th, National Fast Food Day. Though the name implies speed, this assignment kind of took me... well... forever. My goal was to improve my skills with the Wacom tablet and become a little bit more fluid and loose with my illustration style. The result? A fast food doodle poster that I'm pretty proud of.
Of course, stay tuned (or skip ahead) to the end of the video for the final challenge of the year. It's time to create something pretty sweet.

Great result on the doodle, man! Also really helps seeing your process, struggles included - so relatable and empowering. Keep it up :)

Thank you. Appreciate that! Struggles are the most important part. Nobody completely loves their artwork all the way through.

Doodle looks great! There is so much going on and the typeface still shows up really well. Love the accent on the shoulder of the O. It really sticks out. Or at least I think it's the shoulder. I'm not sure if that is the right term.

Hi! I have a question, I recently discovered the career of art director and your channel, but I want to be a art director in the film industry, any tips for that? And what should I study in universities to get to work in the path I want?

[@OpenDoorCreative]

Great question. This particular channel is geared towards advertising since that’s my industry so I can’t give the best advice. My best guess is that you should look more into RTF majors at university (ie film). You will then need to put together a portfolio of work throughout school to showcase your creativity/work.

Very nice video

I'm thinking about majoring in business administration with marketing and minoring in digital arts. Do you think this is a good decision in order to become a graphic design and then a art director?

[@OpenDoorCreative]

Think those are two good offerings that can definitely help get you there. For your digital arts minor, make sure to pick courses that will help improve on the different programs and see if there are any advertising-based conceptual listings as well. The more to help build your portfolio, the better.

Are you an art director for TV commercials?

[@OpenDoorCreative]

Not just tv commercials but yes I’m in art direction within an ad agency.
