Is it just me or do a lot of Art Directors at large firms lack design skills? For some reason, no offense, the women especially. WTF?

- Luna0
not implying that the others suck. am implying that it would less of a pain if the others (ie. management) had ANY type of design training so we wouldn't have to go over what a pixel is each time a project begins.

Then why did they come to me to do their project? Tara, your work is very good. You would stand out in a large firm because you have talent.
I'm currently working on a project for a large firm. The person acting as the project manager is an AD. She's trying to give me art direction, when she should be getting me assets. I wasn't mad until I tracked down her personal website, which shows very little talent and little knowledge about her craft. Also, she has plenty of design schooling, just very little talent or knowledge about anything other than type treatments. It was just an observation. Small and medium sized shops always have the best talent, flat out.

"frankbeans do you let your girlfriends wear shoes to leave the kitchen?"
Funny, she has worked in this field and she's found the same to be true.
