Copywriter vs. Art Director
Copywriter vs. Art Director is a series of illustrations that depict the eternal dispute and differences between the two professions. While not everyone (especially Copywriters and Art Directors) might agree with each rendering, most are quite accurate, and all are entertaining.

Only .psd? Would it be more appropriate like this:
.doc / .indd
.psd
.pdf
.ai
.eps
.jpg
.tiff
.html
.png
.gif
etc.

hartley, you must work somewhere where the ADs do stuff besides use the words ‘maybe’ and ‘try’ 4 times per sentence.

Can someone explain the Copywriter side of the “Draw Something” one? a square that is separated into four sections with a number one? Is this suppose to be a crossword puzzle? or some awesome app I don’t know about?

I didn’t realize there was a dispute between the two. A good art director will have copywriting sensibilities and vice versa.

Neat! But why do the copywriter love loren ipsum? Isn´t that a placeholder art directors use?

This is way too generalized and inaccurate. Part of being a art director is considering every aspect that affects the design and creative process, including typography, copy, multi-media, and platforms.

This seemed more like a comparison of art directors with Journalists or Authors.. I think there is plenty of space for Copywriters in these art director descriptions.. And Art directors love loren ipsum- it’s the copywriters that give us the words to exchange out.
And an art director that doesn’t love type isn’t much of an art director in my opinion..
I still love the illustrations nevertheless.. :)

This is great! I’ve been a copywriter for over 20 years and I’m married to an art director, so I can relate to this. I don’t agree with all the illustrations (I love Apple and love to draw) but I certainly enjoy expressing myself through words, where as the art directors I’ve worked with always want the design to take precedence. It’s a continuous battle.
