			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve talked about web career job titles <a title="Link to CSSquirrel post: What Do You Call Your Job?" href="http://www.cssquirrel.com/2009/04/02/what-do-you-call-your-job/" target="_self">in the past</a>, and how confusing they can be. However, yesterday on <a title="Link to Unmatchedstyle" href="http://www.unmatchedstyle.com/" target="_blank">Unmatchedstyle&#8217;s</a> first <a title="Link to Monthly Design Panel #1" href="http://www.unmatchedstyle.com/news/monthly-design-panel-1-mostly-about-type-on-the-web.php" target="_blank">monthly design panel podcast </a>(vidcast?), <a title="Link to Jasongraphix" href="http://jasongraphix.com/" target="_blank">Jason Beaird</a> used a word to describe himself that I&#8217;d never heard before: designeloper.</p>
<p>I immediately liked it.</p>
<p>(I also liked the fact that he read a quote from my <a title="Link to CSSquirrel post: Cuddling with Cufon" href="http://www.cssquirrel.com/2009/04/15/cuddling-with-cufon/" target="_self">Cuddling With Cufon</a> post. It made me all warm and sappy.)</p>
<p>I liked the title so much, with its jackalope-like nature, that I tweeted about it. Immediately <a title="Link to Jin Yang's 8164.org" href="http://www.8164.org/" target="_blank">Jin Yang</a> fired back with the fact that Jason was wrong, and the proper term was devsigner.</p>
<p>As a skills-hybrid (granted, very developer-heavy and designer-light in my case) I like the idea of fun terms to help describe those of us that simultaneously try to comprehend typography use as well as learning the newest AJAX trick. So the question that remains is what term is best? Designeloper or devsigner?</p>
<p>Obviously the only way to know for sure is to put the terms in a cage match on a deserted isle where they&#8217;ll determine the fate of two dimensions in a tournament to the death. But since we don&#8217;t have that option, I&#8217;ve made a poll. Please consider taking the time to answer on it.</p>
<p>(Poll after the jump.)</p>

<p>(My apologies if the poll looks funny. I&#8217;ve never used this particular tool before.)</p>
