I am really interested to know how you land in a art director position, as I think is where I am aiming. (Maybe art direction, not 100% sure about the job scope of each position.
I have been always been a visual artist, I have a graphic design degree and freelance few years as motion designer. But life happens, and what started as a side work to have a stable income now is my main job as bar manager in hospitality.
I want to come back to the creative field, I am aiming to be an art director one day but I am not sure where to start again.
Thank you all!
