noooooo! :( i think your stuff is ace. are you trying to be freelance or applying to companies etc? if applying to companies im going to start job hunting for you, it would be an incredible shame for you to give it all up for a it desk job (trust me ive been doing helpdesk or similar for 2 and half years now)

ehavel...welcome to the forum. I lived in Los Gatos during the big one. Where you in Saratoga at the time?

As for what I do...I voted Art Director. But I'm an illustrator and a graphic designer too. I own my company. I'm the Art Director and my DH is the Creative Director. We're not sure if there's a difference, but they are both cool titles. I've held the AD position in 3 companies.
