Art Director Resume

An art director is one who synchronizes and unifies the efforts of various artists working on an art scene or art piece to produce one coherent and complete work of art. Art directors can be involved with television, films, publishing, internet, advertising, video games and the like. The most important task is to convert certain messages, ideas, moods and expressions into visual imagery. They also match images and photographs with written matter. In short an art director requires imagination. Art school degrees with knowledge of photography, graphic design, drawing and computer programs like Photoshop are essential technical qualifications.
