How do I become a creative director? What college what, are the steps, etc.
I came up with a interesting idea for massive online multiplayer game. Now I was wondering how I could lead or get a team to fullfill the idea.
Holla back.

Just recruite designers and programmers into your clan and have them do the grunt work.
- clerk0
you'll need years of agency background as a art director to begin with.
- Lesk0
define agency background?
couldn't I compose my resume with traveled the world, knowledgeable with what people want, what makes them want something, ghetto kid, etc.
- imakedesign0
you need to be higher paid and less talented than everyone around you.

(Jun 12 05, 07:40)Recruite? Well I'd have to pay these people to make the game, to be honest, I simply want to sell the idea and make profit of the game.

put it this way, if you taught sims was cool, please incline your seat into the upright position and pray to god, because you will not survive the landing after your blown away.

so what, becoming a creative director is a mystery?!
- MrDinky0
jr designer -> mid designer -> sr designer -> art director -> associate creative director -> CD
OR
make your own company and call your self Cd.
calling your self CD with out going though ranks would not get you any credit
- MrDinky0
btw
you selling ideas doesnt make you a CD. that makes you an enterpeurner rather its creative or not
- Lesk0
So in other words, CD=OLD MAN
- MrDinky0
not always. it has to do with your talent and experience. not many CDs out there who are young.
unless you make your own design studio with designers and ADs.

most game studios do not pay for ideas from anyone other than people who are in the industry. it's a pretty stagnant industry on the creative side right now whose driving force is advancement in technology, not game ideas. so many of the dudes in jobs designing games right now have so many other great ideas for games, but no publishing co/developer is going to spend however many millions on any of their ideas unless it's tried and true.

(Jun 12 05, 07:37)Do what I did...start your own company and then name yourself CD. It's wildly fun! But in a company of two it doesn't really matter if I call myself Associate Cheese Dick, I still do the same work.
- nick0
you have to suck a lot of dick to become CD
- MrDinky0
thats why nick is a great CD
- nick0
indeed, and that's why dinky is still a production bitch
- MrDinky0
yeap i refuse to suck dick
