What is an Art Director? That's the question I asked many current and past Art Directors in today's video and well... it's kind of hard to explain.

See, I tried majoring in graphic design. But I have found that I prefer the BIG PICTURE over working on the small parts. I love story telling, I love photography, I love creative writing, and I love movies, design, and learning about and working with people, etc. I love all of that. See I love variety and I love always exploring new ideas and yes problem solving. I’ve been SO confused on what I want to do because I don’t really wanna just be a graphic designer. I’d rather direct the graphic designers and everything to do their part in creating the over all vision

[@OpenDoorCreative]

That sounds like an Art Director as your entry so that you can eventually become a creative director as your end goal. That’s the job description. But you will have to start with utilizing graphic design skills and mixing it with strategy/idea generation.

An Art Director is the person who leads the visual part of a project and gathers different specialists to apply a look and feel previously defined in the strategic stage.

[@alienjay7703]

So would the art director go in with a bunch of examples of how he wants the project to look , then make sure everyone is following the vision ?

[@2301945]

@@alienjay7703 Sure, because each brand does not live alone but in a category of similar brands so you may consider looking like you were in the same group to help people recognize the brand easily. Obviously without losing your brand identity. Also, building a moodboard helps you to define a look and feel. I hope my answer helps you bro.

[@Ledatru]

I think we often romanticize the title of "Art Director" and want to make it sound super prestigious and fancy with all these damn buzzwords. But let's just look at it from a practical point of view: If you get hired as an Art Director, it's because we need you to do a hard job. And typically, the job is that we give you a brief. You better be smart, so ask some damn good questions. Then come up with badass ideas that we can use (your ideas better not suck), and then go get on the computer and actually make that shit. And your shit better look good, because we need to sell that shit. And once we sell that shit, you gotta make sure your vision is carried through to the gritty end. No one said it was an easy job. There's a HUGE range of skillsets-you gotta be strategic, you gotta be conceptual, you gotta know your programs, you gotta get other people excited, and you gotta give enough of a shit to make sure other people don't fuck it up (and it seems like every step of the way, someone wants to fuck your shit up).

[@nezumi_kitten8152]

I came across this video because I've been doubting what I want to be. I am currently a first year collge student so please bear with me. I've always loved animation, the thought of bringing something I created alive. But recently I've been getting negative comments from people around me saying it's not a real job or whatever. As much as I hate it, their words did kind of get to me. Don't get me wrong I still want to become an animation designer but when I stumbled across this video it got me thinking about maybe I could become an art director of animation? I have no idea if that is a thing but it's a shot. I wanted to learn more about being an art director and what it takes. I want to start out small and grow bigger and further myself. You get me? Sorry if it is weird.

[@OpenDoorCreative]

Not weird at all and you can absolutely do that. Forget the negative feedback. They don’t know what they’re talking about. Follow your gut and your interests. Yes, animation is a highly sought after skill in art direction. Many ad agencies are looking for talented motion designers or art directors with motion capabilities. Just keep finessing and building up that skillset, creating a portfolio of work and go for it! Do something you love.

An AD is a creative leader leader who takes brand, strategy and messaging and generates ideas to make them live in the audiences mind inorder to change their buying behaviour

[@moodsforyou]

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.

Nick Kidd hahaha perfect description

[@MagerialPage]

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.

Explain what an art director intern does and what skills they’ll need. Based on some job descriptions, I’m guessing interns will play the role of hunters and gatherers of inspo. They might put collages together or insert examples as placeholders of a project to convey the idea or cut visual assets into other visual collateral like a deck of moodboards…thoughts?

[@OpenDoorCreative]

Level of involvement depends on the shop but a lot of times, current interns are chipping in on real world work. Our interns have developed projects all the way through completion. If all you’re getting out of your internship is providing the team with mood boards, you should jump ship and find somewhere you can learn. Best of luck!

Great video mate! Question: I see the role of creative director, absolutely something to aspire to. As a fledgeling copywriter looking to work form the ground up, ideally towards a CD role, what would you say the best route/approach be? I believe I would be great in a creative leadership role but I'd love to have the right practical skills and experience to back what I'm asking of people and to know where theyre coming from i guess. Cheers!

[@OpenDoorCreative]

Great question. Step 1 is to be the best copywriter you can be. Improving your writing and conceptual craft with smart and strategic copy and ideas. Step 2 is to double down on the strategy to help sell in those ideas. This includes building a compelling case and working on presentations that effectively communicate your ideas to the client. Step 3. As you move into a senior copywriter role, you should then start to mentor and look for opportunities to grow the junior talent on the team. Helping with management and growth. You will also work on your presentation skills and improve your relationship (building trust) with your client. After you do all of that you’re well on your way to becoming a creative director. Overall, be reliable and effective at what you do. With experience, the role will come. Hope that helps.
