How is a Art director who kead the creative development and ideation of websites along with the aesthetics of it different from an interactive designer who's an avid technologist who knows what are the options out there in terms of interaction in & beyond the screen for the target audience?
Or are they similar? What is your take guys.

They differ in many ways. The art director will be a cocky, over-confident mouthy fuck with expensive glasses a la mode and small perky fatboobs, whereas the interactive designer will be a dorky pasty-faced introvert who's had more computers than girlfriends.

design should follow function - its the art directors responsibility to understand that traditional advertising art direction (in an industry that is essentially software design) is in long term decline... whoever can actually understand the media (not technology) will one day grow up and become the experience director...

a lot of 1990's interactive designers are now creative directors because... we won.
