I'm sorting out my online portfolio - about time!

I beleive my job title may of now changed, and was just after a few opinions to confirm my thoughts.

I went to college to learn graphic design, finished my course, and was employed as a graphic designer at the beginning of 2005. Since then, I have mainly done websites (95%) of the work, other bits and bobs include a brochure and the odd flyer.

In my spare time any freelance stuff I do are websites...

So I'm wondering, do I call myself "Website Designer" ?

Cheers.

Designer for Web/Print? Don't want to narrow your options for future work ( I assume).

Accurate · 22-03-2006, 08:06

Thats exactly it. I want to title it properly, but I don't want to limit my opportunities. Although strictly speaking, my experience is so over-done with websites these days I really do think the title is "web designer" ...although I've been taught everything about graphic design in education.

Interactive Designer sounds better than Website Designer.

Still, what on earth is wrong with calling yourself a Designer - the CV/folio will explain the rest

I agree too. That's what my company gave me as a job title, but on my CV I put interactive/graphic designer.

Dynamic Response Producer.

I said "yes".

Direct Directives Designer! Say that ten times fast.

On my new folio it's going to be "web designer & web interface developer" - partly because it sounds fairly important and also for SEO.
