Why Art Directors Need Commercial Photographers

The Work Of Art Directors

Whether working as part of an advertising agency, or as a member of an in-house team, Art Directors play a pivotal role in the marketing of a brand by creating an overall vision of the way their business and it’s advertising should look. Concerned with all aspects of how a business or brand represents itself visually, it’s no wonder that Art Directors so often find themselves working with commercial photographers.

Art Directors are responsible for the visual style to be portrayed in advertising media of all kinds, from billboards to brochures, magazines to TV commercials, website and social media content, and even product packaging.  Art Directors must come up with the ideas that are most likely to inspire their target audience and then direct the designers, artists and other creatives  to ensure that this vision becomes reality and as close to their concept as is possible. While coming up with the ideas which will take their business marketing forward, Art Directors can often be assisted by having someone to work with and bounce ideas off who understands the importance of visuals, branding and how they can be used help promote a business to a particular target audience.
