Is Graphic Design Manager a tittle? In my last job, that’s what my boss’s tittle. Or would that be the same thing as Creative Director.

Yes, there is such thing as a packaging designer but sometimes they are simply known as designer within packaging or branding firms.

Hey Jacob,

Is there such thing as a packaging designer?
Would that be a Job Title, also a lot of people are also illustrators or photographers, not sure if that’s a graphic designer role.

Hey,
Thanks for your post it was very informational, but doesnt a person need to become either a art director to develop into a creative director or design director? And if not, what different education is required ? (such as an art director would only need a bachelors , or a creative director needs a masters ) Thank you much for info.

Hi all,

thx

To Tony

I was thinking about that the other day, my title at work is ‘Graphic Designer’ though the other guy I work with used to use ‘Graphic Artist’ as his title. We’re not often doing alot of design work, mainly we just do artwork for our customers for approval before items go to print, so perhaps Graphic Artist is a better description for someone in our position?

Thanks to your “16 designer job descriptions”. Now I know in which category would I classify myself. I’m a “web designer”, not a “web developer”. I used to say “web developer” because it sounded good. :) I stand corrected. :) My next question now is “Is there a difference between a “graphic designer” and a “graphic artist”?

@Mani
Yes, I agree with you there, but I would have to say we have come a long long way since then, and we do need a lot of people to do different things. We could become more efficient I suppose but you could also do that by having more people so bit of a catch 22… Sorry about my slow reply, I am actually on holidays (this is my 1 day catchup for the 3 weeks I am away). Happy New Year :)

Jacob,
Amazing how many entities there are – reminds me of watching old movies from the 50′s and 60′s wherein when the rolled the credits there were 1-2 pages at most – nowadays – the credits go on for an eternity. Supposing we changed back to the old ways, could we become more efficient?
