I should have read that thread before posting. Titles are wacky anyways. I work with a lot of people who call themselves 'Art Directors'. They like to have their 'on shoot' lunches delivered on time, thank you very much.

Ha thnx blo
was wondering what the hell is a creative director and what does he do
- Blofeldt0
well, i guess you class yourself as a, well i don't know.
But being aCD rather than a designer is different. The buck stops with you, it's your responsibility. And you have to have people to creativly direct. So if you're a freelance designer, you wouldn't class yourself as a CD. Unless you were a freelance creative director and then you would have to assemble teams or be employed by agencies as a freelance CD.I guess, whoever you're dealing with is rubbing you up the wrong way.

I do exactly the same as you apart from I don't artwork. I don't class myself as a CD, I really can't stand titles.

No, i've got two designers (beside myself) and two developers.
It's expected that every agency no matter how small has a Creative Director. It's a title that prospective clients expect to see, and they expect to meet the 'creative director.' I have to do creative director stuff, like conceptual thinking, deconstruction, lead a project, and oversee all the creative output across every medium. As well as design stuff and artworking.

get with the program save. you don't just call people out like that. seriously.
but whatev. i'm a mexican creative director.
- save0
so in other words your the only designer, and thats what you call yourself.....
- Blofeldt0
Although i double up as an artwork. Others are artworkers.
- Blofeldt0
Not me, but i expect like other CD's on here we're modern CD's. A product of the dot com boom, who also double up as designers, traffic handlers, project managers, creatives and artworks.
Not like old fashioned ad agency CD's who supposedly do fuck all and just annoy people.
It's great oh yes.
- save0

You have to be an arse licker or something to become CD. Not a tosser.
