Quick question. Over the last year or two I have ended up with a few projects that involved setting up a previous print publications as online ones, as well as converting their archives/back-catalogues to online content. Dealing with the various content format issues, dealing with analogue only for old stuff etc.
Any idea the most concise way/term of referencing or explaining that on a portfolio or resume? Is there a proper terminology for this task that is eluding me?

What's wrong with the way you just described it?

Just don't mention how much you make.Or you can just put it under the generic title of Art Director

"Content migration from print to digital, with brand-aware user experience re-optimized for websites and mobile platforms"
Sorry for the mouthful, but I think it bears some explanation, as this is much more than a cut-paste and fixing the MS-Word/Quark/Indesign character set issues, but a real re-imagining of the user experience.

What did you do?
Did you design an online magazine based off a brand and using old content from previously printed magazines?
"setting up" is vague.
- I am pretty sure you simply reworded what I indicated in the OP without further detail.ETM
- But yes. However, converting decades of varying back catalogues is far more complicated than you insinuate.ETM
- It why it is difficult to distil down to something concise. But maybe it's not possible.ETM
- "Convert" could mean something technical rather than design.freedom
- It IS technical. Data conversion is not design. But there are design elements of layout and UI also included.ETM
- It's been a couple jobs of designing the whole online pub AND converting and including decades of prior content.ETM
- Cross-discipline, but also a common set of skills needed by organizations right now. Hence my difficulty in defining.ETM
