    Interesting thing I noticed working here in Germany: there's basically no such thing as a designer, traditional, digital or otherwise. Just about everyone who pushes a pixel is an AD. So, at my agency for example, there following structure applies:

    • Art Director Intern
    • Art Director Trainee
    • Art Director Assistant (coffee boy, I suppose?)
    • Junior Art Director
    • Art Director
    • Senior Art Director

    ...

    Right.

    The number of times I would have arguments with HR to the effect of, 'No, I already have an army of art directors who all mistakenly think they're off to Brazil to run a shoot for two weeks in the sun. What I need is a mid-weight web designer', I can't even begin to count.

    Christ.
