I’m a writer, just trying to see what inspires other visual people. I follow a ton of my art director friends on Pinterest and have found it really useful to see what kinda stuff they’re seeing and liking. I have a few of my own boards and am always pinning stuff/looking for inspo. Just wanted to see what other people are inspired by. Sheesh. Tough crowd.

I think it’s great a writer is taking such interest in visual art. Maybe you can recommend some books for the art directors making comments to read?

Admittedly it’s not intuitive at first but that’s part of what makes it so great. It’s Pinterest without algorithms or ads (thank god) and it does require more work to find what’s good on there but it’s more rewarding. The content I’ve found on there usually isn’t as commonly found on other platforms.

I love this question - everyone should always be curious what inspires others. No need to explain yourself and even those at WK need new sources.

- agree ask people in the office (even in the creative slack thread, this could actually be great just how the music thread shares what they’re into.)
- I still use Pinterest, but also dieline for design specific, film.ai, are.na, and even hypebeast just to see what else is going on out there
- I get into ig holes where I follow a designer or creator I find interesting and scrub who they follow to see other designers I may not know yet
- look at the credits of work or films I’m into and look up those people and their work
- not frequently but when reps reach out I browse their sites and all their artists to get inspired

Have you tried designspiration? Usually good for some designs to kick off ideas

Ooo this is cool, thank you!

I don’t understand this. Creative people are… naturally inspired. We collect inspiration because we obsessed about processing it. If this isn’t you, stop pretending you’re creative, and admit you love working with creatives.

Should we get a creatives-amongst-eachother thing going where we share interesting stuff when we see it? You don’t often get to link up across agencies to do that kinda stuff.

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best. Turns out he was telling me I was scheduled for 3 different interviews for 3 different teams in one day. Has anyone heard of a company doing that or gone through this for an interview? It seems odd to me

How do you think about carried interest as a factor in total comp? Getting 69bps (memelord GPs) in a $420M (see above) fund, which vests over 8 years. It’s a new fund, so won’t be paid out until liquidation 5-7 years later.

Assuming I stay at the fund for two years, and the fund returns 3x, that’s 300k (obviously subject to big change depending on my tenure & returns). When benchmarking against other offers, how should this be valued? Is TC 450k (300k salary/bonus + 150k carry), or less?
