It's my first time doing it.

Any books suggestions?

Art directors with design chops and real knowledge of visual arts. I ask every art director I interview what they think the difference is between art direction and design. Depends on your level, but I've met a ton of "art directors" who LOVE to "concept" but don't know how to actually make shit. I swear I cannot meet any more former account/planner/PM dudes who went to ad school for a year to become ADs and come out thinking they should be art directors when they have no real expertise as visual artists.
I've got a "just for fun" kind of tab on my site with dumb silly stuff I've made. Shows you're a real human and fun person but still allows you to showcase your abilities
Someone who isn't a robot and has passion for something—anything—outside of advertising. Anyone can assemble a good portfolio.
@CD YES 🙌 Can't fucking stand ADs who don't know how to make anything. Can't direct the art if you've no idea how the work gets made. And they dare to think they're "better" than designers. Most designers have it over ADs by miles.
@VML 1 where do you want to see that in relation to my work? First thing? Or a tab within my website?
Lol. Yes that sucks. So let's talk about design talented ADs. How do they stick out from other design talented ADs?
