I’ve been really fortunate to have worked mostly with Creative Directors in "The Genius" camp.  But, I couldn’t resist poking a little fun at some of the other archetypes.

This cartoon is a response of sorts to this other cartoon I drew a while back.

And, come to think of it, my first ever Brand Camp cartoon was in this vein too.

    Every Creative Director believes they are The Genius. I know this because I am one!

    And leave my kids out of it!

    They’re all good, but the one on Creative Critics is genius. I think I’ve been all of them at some time. Poor designers.

    Thanks! I needed this today. Sometimes we need to be reminded not to take ourselves too seriously!

    This is awesome! I am so tempted to send an all agency email with your CD cartoon and Creative critic! But I might get fired. LOL.

    I swear I’ve worked for a company that had every type of creative critic (aka project manager) working in the same office. I lasted 3 months.

    A subspecies of the art nazi, even though I don’t like trivializing nazis, is the exclamation point fuehrer. This genus (sometimes also genius) categorically refuses to use exclamations, even the once every millenium you request one.
    One never wants to resort to rank, but someone has to make the call and prevail. Ah, compromise, where everyone walks away a little unhappy.
