So why not title yourself from where you came and where you are at ? Martin Lindelöf, designer > web designer > flash developer > blender3d artist unite! awesome post, and I shall never call our 3d artist , "hey you guys!" anymore :D .... and the guru suffix just sucks. it's so fucking lame to hear at a meeting "yeah this is John Doe our flash guru" -___-* it sure sounds cool to say for sales reps but all the creatives goes , do'h. almost everyone doing 3d or motiongraphics started out as a mere designer , as far as I know.

unite! awesome post, and I shall never call our 3d artist , “hey you guys!” anymore :D …. and the guru suffix just sucks. it’s so fucking lame to hear at a meeting “yeah this is John Doe our flash guru” -___-* it sure sounds cool to say for sales reps but all the creatives goes , do’h.

And to add to the confusion these titles never seem to mean the same thing from one company to another. The assumptions made by an individual over a title in the first seconds reading a resume could be costly. Our industry is very young in the technology aspect but Art is one of the oldest professions. Seems like we could benefit from a standard to base upon. Well instead of ranting ill go back to work and get paid. Thx for listening.

I just realized that a thread was started on mograph about this little rant of mine. I love watching people make assumptions, it's kind of fun. Everyone over there should just relax and not take me so seriously. This rant was written as a sort of commentary on how the motion graphics industry is not sure what to do with designers who specialize in 3d (at all experience levels). I just see so many talented designers who do 3D and it always bugs me to hear them (or myself) being called 3D guys. So I thought a little tongue in cheek rant would help stir the pot. I guess I was right. Wow. I just realized that a thread was started on mograph about this little rant of mine. I love watching people make assumptions, it’s kind of fun.

Since 2D designers get more love as artist than "3D guys", I assume that when I complete my transition to 1D designer, I won't even have to design anything anymore. Companies will just give me money and speaking engagements on the premise that just that tenuous association with me alone will garner them awards and accolades. I'm practicing holding shift as I draw lines right now, just in case . . . nice post! I’m actually downgrading.
