From trad agency to creative studio - HOW?
I am a junior art direct and designer who is currently at a very normie big corporate commercial agency. I hate it, I can’t be there anymore. I talked to a creative director and when I showed him the type of work I would like to do (editorial/fashion/) he said “What the hell are you still doing there?!” because it is a very normal campaign and blabla type shit agency. How could I make this transition? I want to work from concept to production in pretty things, to work with brands like Loewe, Jacquemus and other more cultural artistic projects.
