it's all smoke screens. Not saying that people don't posses the skills, talents, experience worthy of a true "directing" position, but the lines have become so blurred in the Ad/Design industry. I just recently got hired on as a Sr. Designer at a start up ad agency. Why I have that title I'm really not too sure; but then again, I don't really care for titles (so long as it isn't that demoralizing title of "Jr. Designer" ggrrrrrrrrrr!!!). I'm going on my 9th year in this field and to be totally honest with you, my print knowledge is lacking tremendously as far as print house capabilites and knowledge are concerned. By doing about 5 years as a part time freelancer and designing club flyers I never really had the budget on any of my projects to go beyond a cookie cutter print job and explore and learn more about the print process itself. Not to mention I've been dabbling in web work more and more over the last 2 years and I think it's time for me to move that direction almost exclusively. No more of this both ways crap; time to become a true starter on one side of the ball.
