About the role
A junior art director helps shape the visual idea behind advertising and guides how it appears across campaign formats. The panel will examine your portfolio, but polished images alone are not enough. They want to understand your concept, design decisions, collaboration with copy and ability to adapt work within real constraints.
How to prepare
- Select portfolio projects that show an idea developing from rough thinking to finished campaign materials.
- Prepare to explain choices in typography, colour, composition and image treatment in relation to the brief.
- Show how one concept can stretch across outdoor, social and mobile formats.
- Think through how you would brief a designer, illustrator or photographer clearly.
- Prepare an example of changing a visual route after feedback without losing the core idea.
Common mistakes
- Showing attractive layouts without explaining the campaign idea.
- Using the same visual treatment for every audience and brand.
- Claiming sole credit for collaborative work without stating your contribution.
- Treating feedback as a request to add elements rather than solve the underlying concern.
