''(Also known as Designer's Guild or B.F.D.G. and can be seen after a member's name as a professional certification abbreviation)'' A society of British Film Directors and Designers was founded in 1946, for the betterment of the Design in British Films. Out of this society grew the Guild of Film Art Directors, and the present British Film Designers Guild, who now include in their membership all the various branches of the Art Department. They are not a trade union. The British equivalent of the Art Directors Guild (of America), although smaller in size are one of the key organisations in the (Cine Guilds of Great Britain ) that work directly with the UK Government: Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport.〔(DCMS )〕 This Guild is presented primarily to assist Producers and others to select Department members who will maintain the highest standards of Art Direction, even on the smallest of productions, and whose knowledge, experience and talent have been proven to be the highest in a medium where four-fifths of the spectators' attention is visual. The British Film Designers Guild has members in every grade of the art department, from draughtspersons to costume designers, set decorators to production designers, and was formed with the aim of raising the standards and the profile of the art department and protecting the interest of its members. ==Art Department positions== The hierarchy in the United Kingdom does have some title variants with job descriptions.
