In order for ATL to be respected on a worldwide creative level, what do you think needs to be done?
Continue putting out great work, but I think it has to do a bit with the fact that Atlanta is growing and does not have the same creative heritage New York, L.A., London or any of the other prominently “creative” cities. I think that Atlanta will foster the heritage needed and people will know Atlanta’s creative resources because more and more people and businesses are moving to Atlanta that demand solid creativity, so in essence “shoulder to the wheel”.

In order for ATL to be respected on a worldwide creative level, what do you think needs to be done?
Build a community that attracts more talent. This involves more rewarding creative work, larger scale projects, risky projects, diversity, and like such as. This has to start with the creatives in town either by pushing their work or convincing clients to take a chance. Naturally a design superstar or two should emerge, which would be nice. The city needs energ. I think this site is a good start, there is definitely a lot of potential for Atlanta.
