By Dorothy Tan, 13 Jan 2017

If you have ever been part of a creative team, you would know that it takes the effort of everyone in it to produce a great piece of work—however, collaboration may not come easy.
This may be particularly true for the relationship between the art director and the copywriter, which is why New York-based copywriter Stephanie Vicari and art director Caitlin Hickey came up with “safety cards” for these professionals.
Featuring humorous comics that depict the difficult or awkward situations that may potentially arise when a copywriter works with an art director, these cards are meant to “ensure that no one steps on any toes”.
For instance, a copywriter should provide the art director with a fixed deadline, while an art director should not ask for last minute edits from the copywriter.
Read both the ‘Copywriter Safety Card’ and ‘Art Director Safety Card’ below.
