Education: Most art directors have degrees from art schools, where they have studied graphic design, photography and drawing. Art directors also need to know various computer programs that allow them to work with everything from photographs to fonts.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to become one? Why or why not? 
-I think the whole idea of writing about a non-medical career of choice is to see what career you would be interested in, so yes I would love to become an Art Director. The only problem is that I am not as creative as i should be to be able to qualify for the job.
