Trade ReviewInside ART Direction is a great book to be introduced to design students to discover the role of art directors seen in the creative industries. The interviews and case studies provide insights for students to understand individual art director roles (from print, branding, advertising, film, book publishing, etc) responsibilities, and the possibilities of designers working their way towards the position of art directors.
