How much money have you lost? Misery loves company

Feeling a lot of pressure to buy an apt as my partner and I are in mid 30s and see ourselves living here (Brooklyn) long term. Can’t get over the high prices, high fees and idea of sinking all of my money from the market into one asset. Every apt for sale we are seeing is less nice and highly monthly cost than our rental unit which we love and running the numbers never looks good. Convince me why I’m wrong

Bought another 15 contract of BTC

We are still in profit net margin now $950K

Smart move or dumb one?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

There seems to be a Copywriters group, and a "Creatives" group, but not one dedicated purely to professional Art Driectors. So now, here it is!

So, what agency right now, is totally smashing it?

Art Directors, how do you feel being led by creatives with copywriting background (CDs) whose present clearly lack of knowledge about Design/Art Direction references. How to deal with it? Any tips?

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Any other ADs feel like our roles are starting to become just glorified graphic designers? Nothing against GDs I started as one but wanted to move into art direction cause I wanted to come up with 360 campaigns and make tv spots not resize banners and and make IG story posts.

I freelanced for an agency as an art director for 6 months and recently got hired FT. I am struggling with imposter syndrome on a daily basis but manage to get great feedback from the creative directors continuously but still feel the same way. I was put on a creative brainstorm and my ideas seemed so misaligned with everyone else's but the designs I did the client liked and I think we are moving forward with. Where does the role of art director begin and end? New to agency life. Any advice?

What sites do all you ADs go to for comp images? Besides Getty haha

I started full time at an agency mid pandemic so have never once worked in the office. I find myself working 50+ hour weeks even from home. Everyone who says "I can't wait to be back at the office" - are they really serious? To tack on commute time and public transit anxiety, wake up at the crack of dawn. Will working from the office somehow decrease the work load and increase productivity? Genuinely curious who wants to go back and why.

Hey all,

I’m trying to switch careers from design to art direction and I’m trying to develop my skills.

Can anyone recommend some good books that will help me to improve please?

Thanks!

Hey, I am an art director who just graduated from Miami ad school. And I am looking for new opportunities. Please hit me up if you have any vacancies.
Thank you :)

Does anybody have recommendations for cross border moving companies? Looking to move from US to Canada.

Would you mind helping an art director who also lectures in art direction schools please: what has been the most exciting or memorable or useful lecture in your Art Direction school/course as students? I want to give real value they can spend professionally and not blah blah, so I am interested in what you people have considered a valuable input.
Please no suggestions like "Change your studies until it's too late" (because I have already done that lesson haha --and they are still there)

Awkward question incoming! - What is the average salary for a mid-weight art director at an agency in the north of the UK? (Specifically keen to hear from anyone Leeds based!)

What were some of the challenges you had to deal with when you first started working abroad? I’m in the middle of interviews and hoping I get an offer so I could work abroad 🤞

What do you look for when on the hunt for a good CW partnership?

Any art directors currently in Tokyo? Would love to connect ✨

What do you say when people ask “so what do you do?”

I need to get a new laptop, my 2015 MacBook is on its last leg. I need something that can handle cinema 4D and Adobe Creative Suite. I assume I’ll probably have to get some dongles.

Any recommendations?

Anyone want to help me out? Stuck on a brief and would love to brainstorm! Dm me if up for it

I’m looking for photography course suggestions—

I took photography in high school and a beginners course in college but thats all. As an art director some of my favorite work revolves around video and photography, so I’m looking to understand more—technically and creatively. Who has good suggestions of courses or programs, online or in person (anywhere) that can help me expand my knowledge?
