    Art director is one of the titles that varies from place to place.

    In AKQA, they are above senior designers. However I have been in jobs since where Art Directors are just conceptors (or creatives) who are visually led. This means you can have Junior Art Directors.

    If i made some disctinction between a senior designer and AD, the senior designer is more hands on with production still. So it depends if you still want that. It is definitely not a downgrade, as we all know that positions are meaningless, and your work is the main thing you should be worried about.

    • Usually if you're an AD you can define your role. Hand off as much design/production as you want.CyBrainX
