Course Audience

This course is for Producers, Art Directors, and other creatives who are part of an editorial content production process. In Creative Force, these roles are responsible for managing editorial projects, the individual editorial deliverables, sample and product management, developing the art direction of the editorial content being products, as well as any other tasks required to execute an editorial shoot.

Description

As we are sure you know, producing editorial content is an entirely separate beast from shooting high-volume e-commerce content. The required shots, styling, and retouching requirements are more subjective. Often, the shooting is taking place on location rather than on a closed set. And all of this means there are a ton of moving parts to capture the perfect images.

If you’ve spent a lot of time producing editorial content, some of the following likely sound familiar:

  • Samples not making it to set or on location
  • The wrong samples being brought on set or on location
  • Lack of clarity or lack of alignment within teams about the art direction of the shoot
  • Lack of clarity around the shots required
  • Difficulty managing changing style guides and other documentation related to a shoot
  • A lack of flexibility around the post-production process

Editorial content production is already complex and none of the above is particularly helpful in making it any easier. So it was with these pain points in mind that we designed our editorial module. As part of this course, you will have the opportunity to learn about the features that comprise our editorial module as well as experience them firsthand in your Creative Force account.
