Hello!

Speaking as a former art director...7 years with St. Thomas Graphics...an Art Director is a manager, first and foremost. Additionally, imagination and creativity must give way to market research. More often than not you have to reign in your artists, not let their imaginations run wild.

An art director spends more time with clients and accounts than at the drawing board. Most art directors I know are not even artists. A good art director balances the client's wants, needs and budget with the client's customer base, the interest of the art director's company and especially those of his direct supervisor, the account executive. The good art director is also a mini-psychologist and sociologist. He/she also has to know how to budget accounts and supply resources. The art director keeps up on service area demographics and monitors trends, long term and short term. A good art director ends up chain smoking and binge drinking nightly.

The mark of a truly good art director is too complex to be consigned to a word or two.
