Copywriter VS Art Director

Great illustration project about the differences between copywriters and art directors by CW Versus AD.

An art director oversees the art, photographs and drawn images, that appear in newspapers, magazines, ad campaigns and on book covers. An art director is usually the person who oversees the entire design department to coordinate what images will match up with what words.

A copywriter hammers out the words that sell, promote, educate and inform. This means a great copywriter is gifted in the craft of writing hard-hitting words. These are the words that sell all types of products and services. These words also inform and educate.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Napoleon Bonaparte

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. Buddha

  1. most of the best stuff and I have been a creative director, art director and written copy myself for over 40 years – happens when art directors work with copy writers. The vs is a design solution here, setting up opposition where in the real world the only true focus is on the best solution not who comes up with it!
