dippy, of course graphic designers should think conceptually. :)
I think that's always a goal of anyone trying to get good at it.It's just a puzzle at times getting all the pieces to fit, especially when you take into account skill levels, what you're able to accomplish.
It's like being a good web designer, but knowing that you MUST know how to conceptualize a project from a technical standpoint - what's possible, technology involved, etc.
Personally I've never done a web project where I didn't have the balance of visual and techncal responsibility in my hands. In fact right now I'm working on a 100% redesign of our law firm's web site visually, while also working on the marketing aspects (which is my department) in terms of how we communicate to our clients, how we talk about our history and success, as well has a major improvement in how we organize content, useability, etc...while also building the site to utilize the best methods in coding, CSS, scalability, security, etc.
Whew.
You know what I mean.
It's alot of hats to wear, but I'm pretty glad I don't really have anyone telling me how to do any of those facets of the site.
If I had not proposed all these changes in the first place they probably wouldn't be happening.
