☛ PHP, HTML, and other web experience are often required

☛ Enable to manage a project from concept through production in multiple media

Managers want to know that you're up on industry trends and that you draw inspiration from multiple sources. In addition to trade publications that focus on your area, don't forget to mention any creativity-oriented websites, blogs and social media accounts you follow.

To represent a concept visually

☛ Before writing for an ad, you should have thorough knowledge about the product

☛ Use less word and give more meaning

☛ Figure out the most eye-catching statement in your ad and put in the beginning part or introduction

☛ Once you had done with writing, trim what you have written

☛ Try to convey the message that touches your audience

☛ Instead of a stationary photograph, to enhance your radio script use a series of video images

☛ Record your ad and listen to it repeatedly until you are convinced totally with it

☛ Use the language that your audience is comfy with.

In addition to revealing your approach to creative work, your answer can show how you view yourself, how you think others perceive you and where you think you fit within an organization. How you describe your style – quirky, clean, bold – also can help hiring managers determine if your design aesthetic will complement (or clash with) the company's branding.

Having worked with outside sources and overseas production I have written and communicated through many emails to get across many creative ideas and solutions. Also some personal writing through blogs and personal projects.

My biggest disappointed as an art director would be a few arrogant co-workers. Although I am an art director I do not see myself in a position higher than the others as that would be called a glorified manager. So it disappoints me when a few people see art as a black and white area and that one needs to be better or right.

☛ Make your words pops

☛ Interpret the text for a visual culture

☛ Convey the message more with a picture and less with words

☛ Find editors, contributors, other brand and look into their work

My team and I not only got to design the background and props for a new film, but we were also able to contribute to the film's storyboard.

I've never fired anyone before. Everyone was easy and great to work with and we all respect and understood each other.
