    Those who can, do. Those who can't become creative director.

    I used to be a CD by the way. Now I run my own little company where i do a little of everything. Even getting really hands and building sets ;)

    Sometimes people work for like film crews, photographers and such. I give them a general direction and just look at zoom out.
    People excell when give them some room to think.
    Micro mananging is a sign of weakness. And most CD's do this to justify their position.

    • what if the position falls into your lap.
      the reasons are simple: you are the most capable man covering lots of fields,working on the most profitable projects.

    • And if you have to justify your position in a daily basis, yeah you are a weak insecure mofo, go home and think about your life.sted
    • I like to think that after paying dues for years doing work as designer and AD, one earns the right to slow down and be CD. That shit is smart ahah.monospaced
