roles

What is the difference between a User Experience Designer, Information Architect and Visual Designer?

On behalf of Bestica, we wish a rocking and creative 2011 to the Interaction Design community :)

Recently couple of our clients has been using UX Designer title for a Visual Designer role. So, our question is:

What do you think should be the 3 primary roles/objectives of an interaction designer?

Hi all,

I've been asked to update a job description for the purpose of
performance reviews, etc. over the coming year. I'd be interested in
hearing what you think the primary 3 roles of interaction designer
should be.

For a bit of context, the role sits in the IT projects team along
with project managers, business analysts and the in-house developers.
The organisation is small-medium but with multiple international
presences and would be best classed as a membership body / service
provider.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks.

Marcus
