Des vs Dev.
I notice more and more that demand for designers with sh*t hot dev skills is increasing. This is because of two main reasons: continuity and cost.
The problem with this is that web designers will always highlight their knowledge (however basic) of web based tech such as basic action script and HTML. To the untrained eye this can become confusing and lead to many digital designers being talked to or put forward for roles that are not quite right for them.
What’s the solution? Make a clear split between your design and dev capabilities. Don’t blur the two in your opening profile. Make sure that you indicate the level i.e: advanced, intermediate or basic. Also, don’t be afraid to take out non relevant skills - there is no demand for designers to know Swift 3D, so why add it to your profile?
Rule of thumb, keep it simple and relevant.
