if somebody asks you why you're looking, be frank but not funny-sounding, i.e. say honestly, "I need a gig that's more challenging" and somehow something about "my current gig doesn't put as many resources into their design dept as I was hoping"... i.e. they're stringing you along and don't care about design dept as much as you do.... and as much as your prospect does.... (or should)...
you don't want it to look like you were hired on a "probabtion" part-time to full-time and they kept you in purgatory forever rather than promoting you because you were mediocre, you want to make it clear that they're not that serious about design,maybe the business-side of things sees designers as "an expense, not a resource" and you need a place that you can grow with, not wither on the vine....
so, basically, just say you're in a dead-end job....
