Stop applying for internships, start applying for junior jobs. Just cause these companies didn't hire you full time doesn't mean you're not ready to stop interning, it just means they didn't want to pay for your work. 3 months of interning is enough.

Art director Intern?? I didn't know so high of a position could be an intern 🤔 I'm guessing 1 year is a already a bit long. When I wasn't offered a full time after my internship and just extended my intern time, I looked for a full time job.

@visual designer. Art director and designers are the same level at the majority of ad agencies. A lot of smaller/digital shops call their senior designers "art directors". A bachelor of design is not worth less than a bachelor of advertising.
