In my experience, also, the position of "Web Designer" usually means
specifically Graphic Design for the Web, IA is usually a separate
discipline/department. But as Breton eloquently pointed out good
graphic design is *much* more than "making purty", and obviously
design for the web is not the same as print design. The software
skills required for web design don't even come close to defining a
good designer, but in today's world no designer, good or indifferent,
can practice without those skills.
As to the other question addressed in this thread regarding skill
sets taught in school: even if one intends to specialize, to work
effectively in a team it is *very* important to have a good working
knowledge of the scope of the work done by all team members.
