This week Chelsea Lee (@kaijulekramp), Art Director for Brand and Purpose Communications at Square, talks about the holistic nature of art direction and how the story you tell is impacted, not defined by the medium chosen to tell it; taste and style can translate across any medium. We discuss the future (not death) of print, and the cultural shift in our relationship with physical things - all while acknowledging that most, if not all, current print projects have a digital aspect to them. Chelsea breaks down the difference between editorial and corporate spaces and the balancing act of having an opinion in each. We dig into mentorship and how you don’t need to be Versace to work in fashion; there are a lot of jobs in your dream industry without being at the top of the food chain. Chelsea opens up about the difficulty of finding internships, tricks for breaking the code of office emails, and not worrying about something being too “student-y” - good work is good work. Lastly, we discuss finding the balance between expressing your voice and knowing what you bring to the table is special and unique, all while allowing the space for others to have theirs in the creative process.
