'Hovering Art Directors' is a [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign) photoblog that has been created to showcase those moments when someone is looking over your shoulder at your work.

Traditionally, in an advertising agency, an art director takes care of the [layout and graphical components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-directory) of an advertising campaign. In 'Hovering Art Directors,' we can see many of these assumed art directors and creative professionals overlooking these poor creative men and women trying to get their work done. We all know how annoying it can be when someone is on your shoulder gazing at every single mouse click and move you make. The 'Hovering Art Directors' Tumblr blog invites you to share your frustration.

There are also some cute pics of little ones gazing at work, providing the "aww" factor.
