Really good article. I always get asked what the difference is between a designer and a developer. My view is front-end/back-end, but some disagree.

Anyway, what about “digital designer”? “Web designer” is a bit too narrow these days.

Also, what do you call someone who manages the team of said digital designers, project managers, and marketers plus manages client projects, trafficking, business strategies, social media, seo, creative direction… jack of digital?

Awesome article! I have been going through this issue of “naming” my services/title with a few words. The one I often use that can sum it up closely would have to be Multimedia Designer. I do Website Design, Front-end coding, print, Illustration, photo manipulation. But then this doesn’t even touch on the things like SEO, Marketing, Art Direction etc. So I think the issue is we (whatever you want to call us) are expected to know/do so much our titles have been lost with the responsibility.

Yeah, if you think alot about how the website in hand is organized then Information Architect is also a good answer

@John If someone asked me what I was working on then I’d maybe link them to a few sites, but technically it’s not legally my work if it’s done 9-5 for a company – they own the rights to it (I think)!

@Mark I’ve never let that put me off putting stuff in my portfolio. If I designed the site, then I designed the site, regardless of who I was working for at the time.

I gues it depends just how much of a tem effort it was.

@Lee Thanks Lee! One of the downsides to being a designer in full time employment is that the best work I’ve done is in the company’s name. I must get some new stuff done for my own portfolio!

@Mark: Thanks Mark. Going by your portfolio you’re obviously a talented graphic/logo designer but if I guess you have to go by the role your employer designates you, which may include a full spectrum of design responsibilities.
