    Really? In my experience, I've never seen a "designer wanted" position that required more than a basic understanding of the limitations and possibilities in web design. I guess the only exception I've seen to that is at firms that do strictly interactive design. The Pentagrams, VSAs, Landors, Fitches, etc. who do it all seem to want people who are either designers with a basic understanding of web design, or developers with a basic understanding of design principles. No?

    • Like I said...smaller companies...not big firms. I'm sure you could find a job to match your skillset no matter what, so better to do what you wantukit
    • I know, but I've seen the differentiation at small shops too. Case in point, I'm one of 4 designersgramme
    • at a very small design firm. We always hire out dev work. We don't even slice files up.gramme
    • We just design sites in InDesign at specific base pixel dimensions, then hand it off to web designers/dev people.gramme
    • Well I am living proof that some people do both;-)ukit
    • Although I have also worked in jobs where I never wrote any code at allukit
