    This is precisely why many of the younger designers, like myself, worked hard to diversify our skill-set. People who have solid visual design skills, yet can also take a web project from start to finish without the help of a developer, are very valuable. And, if you can take what you did from the web, and carry it over to motion and print by yourself, then you'll have an easier time finding jobs.

    Of course, it's also important to make sure you're getting paid well when doing so much work. I hate seeing these Craigslist ads that want you to design a 40-page site for $700, and then "maybe" that will lead to future work. Gee thanks...

    • These people don't exist, or at the very least, and extremely rare. I've yet to meet someone that can do truly excellent print/web/developmen... and motion.bort
    • Valuable to who? I would much prefer a team of specialized individuals that could execute in a fraction of the time.palmer_
