Ugh... Friend with minimal design and visual art skills is now referring to himself as "the creative director" for artwork for his new side-project band, that he probably "designed" with a phone app. Why do people feel the need to label themselves things they know nothing about and that they really aren't?
I know a few creative directors who would kick this guy in the scrotum if they didn't get more pleasure out of just silently laughing.

- I guess what I'm asking is, what if he's got a plan to "fake it you make it?" If the thing looks like it was designed by a toddler that's one thing, but what ifbklyndroobeki
- it's part of his program or goal to be a CD and he's working his way towards... IDK just asking...bklyndroobeki
- if he is your bud, i hope you help him (if he asks or even if he doesn't ;)bklyndroobeki

- I wish I were better friends of felt like I could give him some basic advice that would both improve his skills, and keep him from getting laughed atmg33
- And, does any legit designer refer to themselves as "creative director" on solo projects? It's weird right? Who/what are they directing?mg33
