409 Art Director Reviews

"What I love about design and art direction is the satisfaction of solving creative communication objectives, while creating an aesthetically pleasing work of art. As in any company, corporate politics can ruin the most cohesive team, and undermine creative abilities."

"I love to be able to control all aspects of a brand which gives it an overall consistency. From logo to Social Media profiles."

"I love everything in this position. and I just hate when the muse is not present :-)"

"I love create something to nothing, with the confidence of knowing it will work. The only thing I dislike is believing this is a job easy to do. It's only for self-motivating people."

"I love all aspects of the job love to learn new skills and meet new people there are no boring bits. I hate that I can't have an extra 5 mins in bed but I'm more of an evening person than early morning."

"The control and feeling of accomplishment."

"I love the directing of a project. The process of idea-sharing and collaboration, followed by the continued execution of the project overall.I hate when you do not have ample time to dedicate resources to a project in effort to give the best possible outcome, rather have to cut corners in efforts to make deadline or budget."

"I love being an Art Director. There's really nothing to hate beside having to work with bad content."

"LOVE:-the final production/publication of my hard work.-making clients excited about their brand.-designing.-creating.HATE:-sometimes tight deadlines.-eyes hurt from being on the computer.-tight shoulder blades from being on the computer all day (but that's ok, because I do yoga to make it feel better)."

"Having the chance of working with both internal and external clients is what keeps my work interesting everyday. If you add to that the great team and the creative environment there, you get a quite good balance."

"I enjoyed being art director at Red Lion very much!"

"The thing I hate about being an AD is the state of limbo between directing and doing. This is hard to manage. Choose one or the other, don't try to do both. Also, the expectation that you need to progress to a Creative Director. If you like being an AD, do it well. Good AD's are a huge asset to every organization."

"I am a team cheerleader by nature. I enjoy motivating talented people to do their best work and think outside the box. Client facing is perfect for me given my social demeanor. Concept development and presenting to a client is a lot of fun. Being an Art Director rocks!"
