This week Sara Lowe, Art Director at BBDO in Atlanta, talks about how art direction is more than just design; it's a concept with big ideas and making them come to life as a way to get someone to like something. We discuss being creative within the restrictions of a client brief and using Instagram as a morning design scroll for daily inspiration. She digs into working with a copywriter and how it’s more than just a partnership; it’s a relationship that you work on all the time. We attempt to keep on top of current social media platforms as Sara explains the need to know not just how they work but why they work and what will work on them beyond knowing the TikTok dances. Lastly, Sara shares the magic words to guide a client through production drafts when you don’t see eye to eye and the importance of compromise in creating great work.
