Answer 2

For the creatively inclined, there are many different types of jobs in the field of art that are also economically viable. One such position is an art director, who is the person responsible for conceptualizing the design of advertisements, whether for magazines or television. For commercials, this often involves creating story boards, which show the general progression of action via a series of drawings. It’s up to the art director to determine how the final ad should look and to set up a creative team that includes such people as photographers, actors and models.

In addition to having artistic ability and a sense of what types of designs and commercials will be most attractive to customers, art directors need to have excellent interpersonal skills. Much of their job involves them working alongside other creative individuals such as copywriters and designers, and they need to be able to convey their ideas and delegate effectively.

Those who want to become an art director should always be working on their portfolios. This collection of representative work is the most important factor in determining who gets hired as an art director. It’s a good idea to take art classes as early as high school, and graduating from an art school or getting a degree in the arts from a regular college can give one an advantage in seeking such a position.

On average, art directors make about $63,000 a year, though the most advanced directors may earn as much as $125,000 annually, especially if they work in advertising rather than publishing. Art directors must be creative all the time, and the constant looming deadlines can make this type of work very stressful. An art director oversees many people, and if one of them makes a mistake that causes an expensive delay, the director is held responsible. Additionally, it is common for art directors to find themselves out of work after only a short time in a position, due to a number of factors.

While art direction can be frustrating, it’s a dynamic way to apply artistic skills. Not only is the pay good, one has the satisfaction of seeing one’s work out in public.
