Argghh no! the ignorance! Just stop going about thinking you know
what
you're talking about when it comes to Graphic Design! Graphic Design
isn't "Make it Purdy", Graphic design isn't "Learn how to use
photoshop". It's exactly that perception that leads to awful website
after awful website. Certainly, aesthetic beauty is a *side
effect* of
the design process, but *do not* make the mistake of thinking that's
what graphic design is.
Wow. Apparently I woke /someone/ up :-)
A Good graphic designer (one who is familiar with what graphic design
actually is, rather than the ignorant stereotype you just displayed)
And *you* may well be an exception to the rule, but...
... But seriously, you are wrong about graphic design.
..but seriously, I have *never* seen an ad for a "Graphic Designer"
(or worse, mislabeled "Web Designer") that looked for anything but
Photoshop/Illustrator, possibly Flash, proficiency. Nothing about
BA/IA/UX/ID. Zip. Zed.
For the vast majority of such positions, it's all about "purty". :-)
Seriously. I do know exceptions -- Darrell Sano, who I worked with
at Sun, comes to mind -- but they're few and far between. Far too far.
