Came from a place where I concepted and designed, but now at a place where we have a design department and wanted to see what each agency is like.

I’m at a big agency and I’ve found it’s actually a burden to be able to design. I’ve seen other AD’s be able to send off their work to the design team and they make me do all of mine + deck design + get put on projects that end up being mostly design. I hate it lol

You and me both, friend. 😢

Our art director (small firm) doesn’t know how to design, only how to make a decent ps mock-up (which is fine, she spends her time concepting.) The design team handles a majority of the visual art direction and design itself.

Only AD. I design and concept. Small agency 10 >. Even big agencies here tend to expect ADs to Design.

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way. They push us to turn a document quickly (in this case, an LPA for a new fund), and then take weeks to review, following up with a 50-page chart setting forth the LPA sections and detailed questions/comments. I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions. What do I do?
