what is the difference between creative director and art director
On production, art directors are there to sweat the small stuff. A creative director is usually the keeper of a brand. make big decisions, especially when it comes time to steer the brand in a new direction. A good CD will be involved in creating a brief (which is then given to an art director & copywriter).
Ok, but really... In general: Creative Directors steer the ship. Art Directors (usually paired with copywriters) are the deck hands. As an art director, you can think of me as the day-to-day worker. We get a specific brief, and then generate ideas based on it. We draw and comp up rough ads.
