Head of Magic is an awesome job title

My current gig as a policy analyst with the government aside, my job title in my freelance consulting career is ‘storyteller’ or some variant of the storytelling theme.

So when I read this quote on Put Things Off today (yes, I know it is an old post), I was, well, extremely put off:

Your job title isn’t the place to be creative. If you craft beautiful logos, kern type all day and your best friend is a certain lady called Helvetica, you’re most likely a Graphic Designer. If you design for the web, you are a Web Designer. If you code for the web, you are a Web Developer. If you craft crisp, concise, colourful copy, you are a Writer. If you run a commercial blog, you are a Blogger. If you sell photographs, you are a Photographer.

I couldn’t disagree more.
