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.
