Hmm..
I 'm kinda coming from the exact opposite background. I studied graphic design, minored in advertising. First job (after interning at a design firm) I got was doing as Assistant Art Director at a promotions agency, but a lot of the stuff we did was very similar to advertising. So without knowing much of what an art director does, I just kinda had to learn that on the job. It was cake though. All you would do is shoot the shit with a copywriter all day to come up with a couple good designs, then you'd go direct a photoshoot.
Then I went to work some place where they did a little bit of everything and that's where I started doing web work. Now my book looks like a total hodge podge of stuff... I liked art directing 'cause it was easy and made a lot more money. But web work and identities are what I dig doing the most (unlucky for me..)
