Why are art directors such nobs? cant use a computer so save themselves - you should see the crap files they pass over to me, demand a pdf or artwork in 10 minutes that I have to unravel for four hours. fuckers.

haha there's your reason. they're all taking revenge for previous art directors. they're self replicating cunts!
- solmo0
serious, The ones I've worked for were very arrogant bastards.
Now I do some art direction myself, I found that it sometimes takes energy instead of giving you energy.
Creating is nice. Art direction sucks.

It's totally ridiculous to say they're all shit. It's like any form of racism.
However, the one I work for told me to make a "regular" jpeg because the one I sent her opened the in the preview application when she double clicked on it.

why are all junior designers unable to even decide whether to take a dump or not without asking their art director? and if they are able to decide, they are sure to do it in the wrong place because they don't quality check before they send their shit out?!
only joking. just being a generalising art directing c**t

Unfortunately the AD and CD title has become diluted these days as a result of the dotcom craze when those titles were handed out left, right and centre.
That said the best AD‘s I have worked and have the most respect for are the ones that have done my job and still can.
If you are having problems just just respomd with technical or design jargon, when they ask you to do something stupid.

14.
I person only scans anout 5 characters at a time, and coupled with the fact that people only remeber + or - 2 from 5 items, it means that is the line was too long, people would forget what they read.
I did information design. Although as you can tell I remember nothing about it :)
Thing Is I never wanted to
"know" computers, thats what artworkers are for. Im creative, they are not.
- fusion410
Right on slag.
You have gained my respect. :)
Although I disagree with you on the last point. I think one of the greatest joys of design is coming up with an idea and bringing it to life yourself.
BTW I have it pretty good. I mostly just Art Direct myself and the odd junior or intern.

My old AD was a right tosser, he used to sit on his arse and do F*ck all, and then start talking about Weingart like they were mates or something.
I was fresh out of college and he took to one side and asked what I wanted to do or be... I told him I wanted to get into editorial design or maybe the music industry and this is what he said no shit
"Huh you can tell your straight out of uni,...I'll soon get that knocked out of ya, it just don't work like that"Bitter bastard
