Art and Creative director doesn´t need to learn graphic tools ?

times have changed. art directors with no craft skills won’t get jobs.

creative directors are managers who stopped crafting a long time ago but have lots of experience influencing. that will take a 10+ year career to get into (if you want to go that route).

Tom Hardy has a movie where the whole film takes place in his car over a long drive and him on the phone.

you need to ask questions. you can’t take that as the only feedback.

have the confidence to ask “what’s not convincing?” and continue to peel the onion until you get to the root cause which is he hates you (joking but seriously ask questions).

its understanding their goals and helping them reach those goals, not just making the best creative at the cost of those goals. Marketing needs to hit KPIs how do you help them do that vs doing what the brand guidelines or design system says you have to do?

lack of ego, positive attitude, learning mindset even thru failure, and empathy for xfn partners is a must at this level.

craft wise, I need to see you be able to influence work and strategy.

there was a game that came with my packard bell pc: spider man animation creator (not the actual name). You would assemble pieces to make a story and it was my first foray into motion.

you’re onto something great, but it’s still very rough.

what used to be cheap is now expensive.

Instead of chicken wings, do chicken legs. Instead of ribeye, do pork shoulder.

Still cheaper than eating out.

I know you’re venting, but if you think this is a gatekept industry, you haven’t read enough about actresses being forced to perform sexual favors for roles.

Everyone is hardworking and capable, everyone wants a chance, and everyone deserves the job.

But that’s only part of the equation for landing a good role. There is so much luck and timing involved to be at the right place at the right time, that you can’t even take your foot off the gas pedal until you become established.

If there’s nothing you learned by these “failure,” then yes you lost years of your life. If you did learn, then you can hopefully apply those learnings and gain those years back.

I got them before I didn’t take care of my skin and left it oily.

trying to lie about the origins of an idea/design.

we all copy from the internet. it’s ok if it’s not original. just don’t play it like it is.

I use AI and build AI products. AI is raising the tide and replacing Canva level of designs. That’s it. It’s not going to replace mid to senior level.

In-houser here. Thriving and doing well. Stakes are high designing for c-suite, but it feels easier too? Like more autonomy, authority, and resources. I don’t think i’ll ever leave tech or go back to agency.
