Right now I'm working on my assignment for my Industry Practice class.
Really interesting class in my opinion. Learning about all these new job opportunities and what they do and can't do in accordance to other jobs. Everyone finds it boring but I'm finding it very interesting! Maybe because I always thought it was just a 'graphic designer' and nothing more. Never new of these Copywriters, visualiser and especially a Finished Artist. I always thought that a Creative Director would be a Finished Artists which he would be but he wouldn't be taking up that role, he'd be more on the 'money' side of things and leave it to Senior Graphic Designers to do the actual designing. There are a few of them out there that actually do design, about 40 to 50 percent which is what I want to do and have a Senior Designer to do that rest. Cause I'm not a big fan of the whole money side of things.. WELL I am, but I prefer to stay on the designing side of things. Thats why we have Account Directors and Production Managers. Let them look after that shit! :)
Anyway back to my research! As a "Creative Director" for this brief I need to choose very talented and made up Designers to join my team...... What will my team consist of? HRMM... I'll let you know soon enough ^_^
too true about the account service side. Pretty boring trust me but at least they get outa the office and shit. plus they tend to get most of the credit seeing as theyre the ones in contact with the client most of the time
