Outside of where you're going to put your crap, what do you do at CIG? Folks want to know: what does an art director do?

I handle a lot of different things, actually. I put out fires. I manage the internal art team. So I walk around desk to desk and see what they're doing and give them art feedback. What I do is I will take concept and then I will analyze it and then have it built, and then while it's being built I'll retool it and make sure that it fits within a 3D world, because there's a lot of times that you've got really talented concept guys, but unfortunately when you start breaking it down and putting it in the real world, sometimes things just don't work. That's one of the things that an art director does, is make sure that that stuff works in real time, in a real world, and make sure it's coherent.
