TASK 7... enter the art director


Art Directors ok.... They coordinate the efforts of the art team giving them what they need to build a visual image of what the game looks like, He also makes shore that the work is finished on time and that’s its to a productive standard with the right look for the game.
Art directors are responsible to the company that they work for but there more than that if a game gets a bad review because of the graphics then he is responsible for that, but it also makes the company look bad.

I believe that it s a creative role and quite a good one because although the company will set guidelines the because you can still alter the look of the game and I believe there is allot more going for being the head of the art team a lot more control of the direction of the game because you will meat with the other team leaders and get to contribute to the direction of the game from in there fields and in turn they can help you with suggestions.

although the jobs are alike there a re some defences the art director has more control over what is happening in the game and this is because the game making process is split up in to 3 types of directors and the film and media have a single director that must be appeased......art directors power.

The qualities you need to be a director are ..... people skills, artistic skills of a wide range like paints, alcohol markers a range of different media. He will as so need leadership skills time management and a vast knowledge of the 3d programs and he would have to know what is going on all the time that sounds hard.
