@mahasundaram244 I think it's easier to study product design than get art direction skills, so it`s art director combining product thinking with sense of beauty
You have to post every day or even few times a day actually, but this is for bigger accounts, there was good free X growth guide from some guy and his strategy for small was to be a "reply in comments" person, and this actually works, your replies shown to more ppl, drive more likes to the post, show to more ppl... If you are curious I can send link in DM to the guide.
@acadictive Congrats! But what if lots of talks is draining? How do you do this consistently? Do you DM every day, each of new subscriber? I'm seriously asking, for me it sounds super complicated and far away from comfort zone ๐
Living in Poland(Krakรณw) and half of my phone library is posters from the street,
just in love with this poster culture, hope websites turn this way too, less template, more character.
where are you from, does design around you inspire you? ๐
Maybe weโre looking at art direction from different angles. I donโt think its main instrument is the process itself. I think itโs judgment and feeling.
What should someone feel before they even read the copy? How much information belongs on one screen, what storytelling? Which image, color, rhythm or composition feels right for this particular story and context?
People who even arenโt designers can often tell immediately when something feels alive, coherent or completely soulless, even if they canโt explain why. That ability to sense why and then intentionally shape it is much closer to what I mean by art direction.
I think thereโs a ceiling to how far a company can grow when the founder believes they have to be the best at everything.
Early on, doing the design yourself makes perfect sense , especially when thereโs no budget and you need to move fast. An art director is definitely not for every early-stage startup.
But at some point, control becomes the bottleneck. A founder canโt be the best person in finance, product, marketing and art at the same time. Growth also means recognizing when someone else can take an area further than you can.
