  I'm guessing it's an american term... Does it mean production design monkey or something more senior?

  usually its more production designer oriented...could still be doing conceptual work but churn and burn maybe too.

  American term? I wouldn't go that far. My guess is production artist.

  aren't production and artist almost mutually exclusive terms?

  • I've done a ton of production work and I'd definitely say it's an art– monospaced1/2

  Stupid term, probably made up to make a really shitty job sound better.

  • probably exactly the reason. or the person who had it before got the title in lieu of a raise.– airey1/2

  Studio designer is in the production side, they do comping, presentation books, final mechanicals. Basically, they are the AD's bitch in some agencies.

  maybe more of a stylist than an art director.... basically means executing somebody else's ideas and/or making logos bigger all day long??

  • Yes.– nikdaum

  They've come to me with little more than this job title and a generic to the point of useless job description. I will speak to them but my ego's way too big to fit into a junior role so probably will be a short conversation.
