Break down the two titles...

creative director: 300 ft ego

CD = client based thinker
AD = Job based doer.

what _me_said
Ive been both. CD is providing inspiration to clients and the team, being a bit less hands on. An AD should be the person doing the work. But it depends what discipline you work in.
Neue75 is also correct though

Creative Director oversees the creative direction of an entire company. An art director creates the vision of a specific project within a company.

PonyBoy, don't you call yourself an "art director" on your portfolio? Don't you think you should perhaps know what your title entails before labelling it to yourself?
- killerqueen0
sorry Rand. I just assumed that once you could legitimately call yourself an "Art Director" you would know full well where the position stands in the hierarchy of creative positions, and how it differs from the others.

^ It's a question to get responses IN YOUR OPINION... twit. Don't you think you should 'read' before posting?
- killerqueen0
This isn't up to opinion, the job titles have set definitions. It's like saying "What is the difference between a doctor and a lawyer...in your opinion?"

I really doubt you're an Art Director "Kevin Ross".

sersly.– madirishMadirish, perhaps you've never worked in the Design or Advertising worlds before. When you get some experience, you'll see.

wow. so weird, this past 10 years doing nothing but 'designing' things for advertising and design agencies/firms/studios and owning one in addition; where have i gone wrong??!?!?
LOL
i too, it seems, need to be enlightened...
- Rand0
I forget--what's the diff between art and design again?
- neue75_bold0
maybe you all should keep debating it...

You haven't gone wrong, chap. Nothing wrong about it. You're just a freelance designer, you're the production end of things, not in direction. You probably just take creative briefs from someone you've never met through E-mail, but nothing wrong about it. You just need ta learn! :D

what is production?
