Feedback

You know you have a good Creative Director when no matter what kind of feedback he or she gives you on your work, you always walk away feeling excited.

If the feedback is: "Home Run."
Obviously, it's rush of awesome.

If the feedback is: "Kind of cool, but it's not there yet."
You're pumped, because you walk away with some killer insights on how to make your work a lot better. You thought it was a good idea, but now you see how it could be great. And you know what you need to do to get it there.

If the feedback is: "This is crap, and here's why."
Sure, your ego stings a bit, okay a lot, but you walk away with a new challenge, new motivation, and a lesson learned. You know the feedback is making you a better creative, and that's a good feeling.

So, do you have a good CD? Are you a good CD?

While we're on the topic of feedback, we've been trying out this new format on the blog for a few months now and we'd love to hear what you guys and gals are thinking. What are you liking? What isn't working? What would you kill? Go ahead, play Creative Director and give us your feedback in the comments. Positive or Negative, we thank you for it.
