Becoming An Art Director

“You’ll never make a living as an artist,” a phrase I have heard nonstop from family, friends, and just about everyone growing up. A phrase I constantly told myself while trying to pick my major when I made the big transition in going to college. Coming from a family of doctors, veterinarians, and other various medical careers, it was almost unheard of to pursue a career in the arts. I explored business, advertising, teaching, and many other careers, but in the end, I decided to place happiness over wealthiness and I chose to go through with a career path in Visual Communication Design.

In reality, creative jobs are extremely needed in today 's society, and there are actually very many perks in pursuing an art career. Some of the many perks include, being known to make an average amount of money, have little to no decrease in job outlook, being statistically happier than other careers, while making others and the world around you a much more positive place.

One of the jobs from my career cluster is an art director. Art directors create advertisement, broadcasting, and print things for companies.

Although I began further education by taking AS levels, I realised quickly that the strict academic focus did not suit my learning style. I enrolled on a creative media production course at college, which has allowed me to explore a vocational path.

Those two jobs involve anticipating the Director of Photography's needs, and doing your job smoothly so the shoot can move forward. When I was asked to DP for friends' films, and had more creative input into the film, I still reported to the Director and needed to fulfill their expectations first.
