Art Director  

The Art Director (AD) is primarily responsible for being the creative head of individual web design projects and is the client’s primary point of contact for design related matters.

He or she is tasked out with conceptualizing individual designs that are visually appealing and technically sound, all while designing with the client’s concerns in mind.

Additionally, the AD will work with a team of designers and developers for each project – the designers to illustrate and build the mock ups for the sites, and the developers to make the functional version of the custom sites.
