    Oddly the majority of CDs I have worked under were copywriters in their previous life. So they couldn't design, but had great ideas and could manage well. They came up with the great ideas and let the ADs make it look pretty. I dunno, I think being a CD is more than being a good designer. It's strategic thinking, managing clients and employees and keeping the ideas flowing.

    But yeah quite often someone is hired who is good at being a complete jerk.
