How to become a creative director by jimijank

"Rewarding, but it's a lot of responsibility and hard work"

How I did it: I didn't obsess about it too much, I just kept focusing on one project at a time. I didn't shy away from responsibility and I like a challenge. One day it seemed like all the pieces were in place and I made a move and forced the hand of my employer.

That's how I became a Creative Director

Lessons & tips: Understand the business side of creative services. Don't avoid responsibility or challenges. No one is given the title of Creative Director you have to take it.

    Run my own shop? 18 months ago

    You may think this flies in the face of my “become a professional artist” goal… but I want to have my cake and eat it too! Is that so wrong? ;-)

    When I started freelancing over 10 years ago, doing digital design (web etc.), my “dream” was to have corporate clients for digital work which would feed money to my art work. Then I’d also show the art work and sell online. I’ve found some people that have done it, and make it look easy.

    My goal now is to re-construct my freelance business and market myself as a creative director. A creative lead for web projects, putting together teams, scoping projects, while still maintaining a large hand in creative production.

    All the while… feeding the creative side with art making. And selling of said art works and exhibiting.
