What does it take to be a Creative director?

Are there different kinds of creative directors? I want to know more information about them as I am very interested in pursuing that career path. I really want to be someone who helps someone with their creative direction and makes imaginations come to life. I do it all, and my mind is never in one place, and a creative director seems like they do a bit of everything. I specifically am interested in being one for musicians, like Junia Lin is for her sister Laufey. Everything she does is exactly what I want to do! If anyone thinks what I'm imagining is another job, or has any suggestions, please let me know, as I am always open to learning! Thank you so much!

M.S.’s Answer

Honestly, becoming an art director isn’t just about knowing design principles or having an eye for art. You’ve got to dive deeper, read solid books on the subject, like this one https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=L-n_EAAAQBAJ and start shaping a personal style that sets your work apart. Even if your style isn’t groundbreaking, at least make sure you’re really good at something in your field.

Critical thinking and a strong philosophy about life are key, they’re the fuel for your creativity and spirit. This book is a great place to start https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=nCYHEQAAQBAJ

And then comes the grind: practice like crazy. Build complete projects comics, videos, films, games, whatever fits your lane. The tough part? Learn the business side. Network, put your work out there, flex it in public, and keep pushing forward no matter what.

Do all that, and sooner or later, you’ll find yourself stepping into the role of an awesome creative director.
