EmployedBiography:
My name is Dave Soderberg, I am from Denver Colorado and currently design full time for Beatport (beatport.com) as well as freelance under my company: Astrel Creative. I work mostly on interactive design in my free time and interface / interactive for my career. Nothing drives me more than design, the process of creating, and the struggle to constantly be inspired. I am a designer who loves to view, encourage and be inspired by other people's work and creativity. I see design as a constant challenge to communicate something / anything to anyone, whether you're communicating a message or trying to create an interface that is not only beautiful to look at but intuitive to even the most recreational user. Read my blog to see what I've been creating, inspired by or thinking about.

The Interactive Art Director
Recently I have moved title's at my job. The company I work with kind of left it up to me to figure out what would best describe my position. I no longer wanted to be Art Director because I wanted to distinguish that the priority on my plate is interactive first before other projects. I was very pleased to find that Interactive Art Director is not only a valid title but also a title used by companies as large as:
• Absolut Vodka
• Wieden + Kennedy
• Pixar
Now meet the school that teaches Interactive Art Direction - HYPER ISLAND
Also here is more about the school itself - The School

i don't believe you can just go on a course and then start calling yourself an art director.
and the term "art director intern" just makes me laugh.
Hyper Island ? Again ? *yawn*
