    A blog about design, though not in the strictest sense of the word. Personal musings of a web and graphic designer who sees the world through Pantone-colored glasses and a 960 grid.

    What's in a name? Graphic Designer vs. Web Designer vs. Web Developer...Oh my

    Nyla Smith - Wednesday, August 24, 2011

    There are lots of titles floating around for people like me. And I'll be honest here, lots of people don't know what those titles mean. I call myself a Graphic and Web Designer. I used to just say Graphic Designer, but many people would have no idea that also includes websites. When possible I'll say "Graphic & Web Designer/Developer" because I not only design websites, but I build them too.

    Normally, I don't share these kinds of secrets with the world, because once it's out there....well, it's out there.  I also am not in the habit of making confessions to the world.  But, here goes: More
