    The difference between AD/CD and a Graphic Designer:

    AD/CD: Actually works hard all day. Builds strong relationships with upper management and clients. Focuses on making the work in the agency better and acts as a buffer between the shit hitting the fan and the Graphic Designer. Replies to a billion emails.

    Graphic Designer: Wastes their day away on sites like QBN, FFFOUND, Dribbble, etc, thinking it will actually make them a better creative. Bitches and moans about how the AD/CD make all the cash and call all the shots. Cries over the fact that they had to change that key line from 0.5pt to 0.75pt.

    • Given that you are here now, you must be a GD.ETM
    • Your AD sounds more like an account director, and Your GD sounds more like a mac-op.RIZ
