Art direction is all about shaping how things look and feel – whether it’s in advertising, design, fashion or media. But what exactly does an art director do, and how do you get started in this field?

Our next What is...? event is here to break it down, giving you the inside scoop from industry pros who’ve been there and done it.

Join us online on Wednesday 27 March, from 5pm to 7.30pm GMT as our expert panel unpacks what it means to be an art director. They’ll discuss:

  • The fundamentals of art direction
  • Their work and current roles
  • Their unique paths into industry
  • Essential skills, training and tools for success
  • Practical advice for those looking to get into art direction

After the discussion, you’ll have the chance to ask your own questions in a live Q&A. Create an account and register now to secure your spot!

Who will be there?

We will be joined by a stellar line-up of industry professionals. Our full line-up will be announced soon, and will include art directors from our Company Partners.
