Arushi Sethi's profile

graphic novel in the making.

the art direction book is considered as the constitution for any aspiring art director in the advertising industry.  It is compilation of 28 of the worlds top art directors  and their advice about their craft. it gives a brief account of art direction as a challenge. It is indeed a difficult and frustrating business.
 
The core idea is to depict the primary challenge that the advertising industry faces. which is delivering better ideas for future  with better execution than the past  and lower costs than the present. My guide would operate in a strictly commercial setting with a straightforward  un romanticized  tone of voice. It would be more like an illustrated piece of inspiration. hopefully.
 
It could be a illustrated series of episodes introducing each master art director . A brief account of their personality and their placement in the industry. As portrayed in the art direction book it would be followed by their words of wisdom as a dialogue with the readers  ( includes technical points, life advice and a clear picture of how advertising operated in today's  commercial framework).
 each episode would also include examples of print ad's by each art director.
this would be a very interesting and challenging project. I am excited and  passionate about it . I do strongly believe that advertising is the place for me to be.
