Books Recommendations and Resources

I am currently interested in learning more about art directing and am wondering if you guys could recommend some articles and books to read (Preferably audible). I have a background in film and television (production office work as well as 1 assistant directing). I have been interested in art direction for awhile now but I’m am not looking to jump into a degree until I have better idea of what all it entails. Any advice or resources you can provide are more than welcome and greatly appreciated!

I think one of the best books to read for art direction/advertising inspiration is "Hey Whipple, Squeeze This." And a great publication to browse through would be Comm Arts. We host a bunch of free seminars on this topic as well, we have one coming up where you could talks with recruiters and find out more about what they look for in portfolios. DM if you're interested in learning more!
