Job titles: training/elearning design vs graphic design/communications design

Hello everyone,
I realize this is not a typical 'Captivate' quiestion, and I've posed it to some networking groups on LinkedIn, etc., but I wanted to ask it to this niche community as well:
I started out 3 years ago as a Training Documentation Specialist with my current company, but my title and my description need to be updated as the position/role has expanded to include more graphic design and communication (intranet/internet) tasks in the past few years.
I'm just wondering if there are any other members that design training collateral for companies, either in print or via elearning, among other various graphic design and communications work?
So, by design, I mean this person may have influence on the the material but has a background in graphic design as opposed to instructional design.
If there are any members out there with similar roles, I'd like to gain your insight and review job titles and/or descriptions, if possible.
Thanks!

I think that you'll be just fine with the Retina display model - the 13" models, while upgradeable as far as RAM and SSD, don't have processor and graphics cards that are up to speed for photo and video editing. And more and more software (including Adobe Photoshop) is now 'Retina-ready'.
Yes, you're taking a chance on the screen IR - it has been a problem for some people but not for all. LG panels seem to have the more prevalent IR while some Samsung panels are said to have a 'tinting' problem. WIth any luck, you'll get a screen with no IR and no tints.
If you do get a 'bad' screen, you can always, as many people in the discussion you mention have done, just keep returning it until you get a 'perfect' screen.
Had I not purchased my non-Retina late 2011 model in March of this year, I might have been tempted to go down the Retina road. While I agree with you about having trepidation over purchasing a first-generation product, most of the 'issues' with the Retina display models have been 'fixed' with software updates.
I think that you made the right decision for your needs.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • What hardware should i consider using if i am a graphic and media design?

    I am a Graphical and media designer who is also into coding so i like producing websites. However, when it comes to reccommending hardware or even knowing any hardware at the slightest, i get really muddled up when choosing the right componants. I would like to know what good stuff i can use such as
    Desktop
    Hardware
    Processor
    Memory
    Power Supply
    CPU ?!?!?
    these are just examples but it would be good if you can help me out!
    Thanks.

    If you're considering purchasing a Mac, why not go to an Apple Store and talk to one of the people there.  Tell them exactly how you'll use your Mac.  You'll get good advice and no sales pressure.  If you're not near an Apple Store, you can call the Apple toll-free number where you live and get the same good advice.  You can find out about hardware and software that you need to do the job.

  • IBook for Graphic and Web Design

    Hello,
    I'm thinking of buying my sister's iBook (since she doesn't really use it). I was talking to a mac rep about using the iBook for Graphic and Web Design purposes and I wanted to get other people's opinions on how Adobe Creative Suite and Dreamweaver have performed in other people's iBooks.
    Thanks!

    Running a lot of applications simultaneously, or a few high processing type applications such as Adobe's is what takes up RAM. OS X utilizes Hard Drive available space to make up for memory (RAM) deficiencies. This will "slow down" a system's ability to manage the files. So if you like to multiple applications opened at the same time, buy more RAM. Personally, 1 gb ought to be the minimum for today's systems.
    By contrast, a computer's processor, including logic board, video board, etc. are the engine of the system. The iBook has a small engine. So no matter how much RAM you feed it, it's still going to operate like a small engine. If you want more processing power, you would need to purchase a more powerful notebook (eg Power Book) or a more processor oriented machine such as the Intel iMac or Mac Pro.

  • Graphics Software For Designing Photo/Artwork on DVD Case Sleeves and DVD's

    Any suggestions on good graphics software to design DVD Case sleeves and Printable DVD's that's compatible with IPhoto and can import still images from Final Cut Express?
    Any opinions on the merits of 'Lightscribe' Disks vs. Printable DVD's?
    Many Thanks!

    I use Disc Cover. http://www.belightsoft.com/disccover.
    There is also Discus. http://magicmouse.com/
    and Canon's utility that comes with a Canon printer:
    CD-LabelPrint
    All give very good results, especially on the new glossy printable DVDs - they differ in ease of use.

  • Consider Adobe design software mergence to eliminate design workflow confusion

    Hello! Recently, I start to use Adobe Indesign to design print material, then I found it is much superior than Adobe Illustrator from some aspects(such as functionality,typography,long document,dynamic and organic text style,table,crossmedia and etc.)except some AI features like advanced vector shape drawing tools, but both software similar at interface,commands and operation, so I wonder whether Adobe will consider and is it possible to merge Adobe InDesign and Illustrator to eliminate software collaborative operation gap and confusion, of course, other softwares like Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks, Adobe Incopy and Contribute. that's just my personal suggestion, I found I have to learn so many softwares to achieve a goal which cause me a heavy burden and great focus on it, thats it. Thank you!

    I would rather so-called "bloated" but more integrated design software than several splited software seriously focusing on different kind of jobs. Let me clarify I am not saying merge InDesign and Photoshop, thats insane. I am talking about InDesign and Illustrator. As they both share some same codes, also similar at some same commands, interface and job role. For example, both of them can design name card, postcard, brochure, package. But in their own way. That means I have to remember and compare two kinds of ways to do one job. So I think if the Adobe Creative Team can well-manage and well-organize every module component of the software, thats not big problem at present computer hardware capability, I believe most people can handle it, just how much time does it cost to you. Thank you!
    And Microsoft is doing more and more well in computer design software.

  • How can i see the callers special information like Job Title, Company name, and may be notes?

    I need to see the caller’s  special infos in call screen.  Like Company name, Job Title?
    Please dont say me, “put these info to name&surname field”, because that, i’m useing Outlook Contact and i cannot change it.
    I tried some special programs like (Call Screen (caller id Screen) prog: https://itunes.apple.com/tr/app/call-screen-caller-id-screen/id446742417?l=tr&mt =8 ) but it changes the persons picture but it not refresh itself, if i change info.
    Lots of people asked same question but there is no any exact answer.
    I think it must be a metbod for the seeing this special info in call screen.
    Oldest Nokia and Blackberry model phone shows  this info, More smart phone iPhone can shows it i think. Please show me, how can i see this infos in call screen.

    Other than finding an App to do what you want, or putting the info in the name field, you can't, as this is not a feature of the stock iOS.

  • Printer Queue - How can I hide print job title and username?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to hide print job title and username in the printerqueue?
    Because of our privacy agreement we would like to hide this information, 
    Workstation OS: Windows 7 x64 
    Printserver : MS 2008 R2
    Thanks in advance

    Not the user name but the job name is changed to Print Document when the print jobs are sent to Server 2012 and 2012R2.
    There is no Windows feature like this in 2008R2.  There are third party products that include job rename features for 2008R2

    I have a mac, In"Design CS 5.5, a design gave me a file said it was CS 6, does not open in CS 5.5..Message says "Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."  I think I need to buy upgrade from 5.5 to 6. I found one on NextTechDirect for $150 to download. they are not a scam according to "scamadvisor.com."
    When I drag the InDesign file that that was supplied by another designer who said it was  CS 6 onto my desktop it says CS 5.5. Is that because I only have CS 5.5?
    Should I buy this
    Adobe InDesign CS6 Upgrade from CS5.5 WIN/MAC [Download] from Next tech....it is obviosly higher on the adobe site and alot of other places?

    No one is likely to recommend where you buy your software from other than Adobe in these forums... not so much because of support for Adobe, but mostly because of lack of support/knowledge of any third party vendors.  I only know from experience that when you invest in bargain pricing you usually get what you pay for.

  • How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?

    How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?
    I have a HTML extension running in In-design CC 2014 version.
    I want to perform some required set of actions before my extension window is closed(by clicking on the cross button on top right corner).
    Does In-design throws any event for it? Or can we capture it using C++ plugin in some way?

    Naah.......haven't got any event for that yet.
    Although, since HTML extensions are using chromium browser,  as a workaround, u can attach listener to HTML onClose event, but it won't solve any purpose if you
    are looking to logout session or do some business login in your code.

  • IPhone spotlight doesn't search job titles for contacts

    I think this is so strange that you can't find a contact in your iPhone by searching for job title. Is there a way to turn this on somehow? Some setting I'm missing?
    I'm imagining the bathroom sink springing a major leak:
    "Honey! Grab the iPhone and call the plumber!"
    "What's his name?"
    "I can't remember right now! There's water spraying everywhere! Just search for plumber and you'll find him..."
    Not gonna find him. Enjoy your leak.
    Seems like a strange oversight. Spotlight on the computer at least brings up a couple of matches.
    Weird. No?

    Obviously the more fields that are searched the slower the search will be, but I would really like it to search all fields even if it does take longer...
    My 10 year old Handspring Prism smartphone did it
    What fields to search could be a selectable feature within the OS.

  • How do I get to display employee job titles within a list?

    I want to create a list that will hold employee data. I have a requirement to auto populate a second column based on a previous entry in the first column. More details....if the end user enters in an employee name in the first column, I want to be able to
    display the selected employee's job title in the second column. Is there a way to do this without writing custom code in SharePoint? Is there a way to use a lookup column to display this information? If so, how?
    I really appreciate the help/ideas. Thanks.

    Hi,
    As I understand, you need to auto populate Job Title per an account name in person or group field.
    I'd suggest you use InfoPath rule to auto populate. If you need to get properties in User Profile, you can refer to the article below:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
    However, Job Title is not listed. We can use User Information List to get Job Title of user. By default, Job Title is not available in User Information List. Please go to User Profile Service Application > Manage User Properties > Job Title > Edit
    > Policy Settings, uncheck User can override and check Replicable.
    Then manually run timer jobs below:
    Now check User Information List via
    http://sitename/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx  > Edit page > edit web part > edit current view, see if Job Title is listed.
    If so, then we can use UIL list to get Job Title value per Account name.
