21. Key jobs
The role of the Designer is to create the 'look and feel' of an interactive media product. What this
actually involves can vary, depending on the size of team the Designer is part of, or the type of company
they are working for. The role often overlaps with the producer, especially in more senior positions, or
where the Designer is working alone or in a very small team.
The Designer must combine creativity with an awareness of the tools and technologies that will be used
to build the product, and an understanding of what these can and cannot do.
The role of the Developer is to create an interactive media product. Sometimes this will be according to
designs created by someone else (such as a Designer), but other times the Developer may design the
product as well. The role generally overlaps with the Designer and Programmer, although the actual
amount of design work involved may vary depending on things like the type or size of the organisation
the Developer is working for.
Producers are responsible for identifying and specifying an interactive media product’s high-level
requirements or purpose, and ensuring that its business objectives and creative vision are understood
and maintained by everyone involved in the project. This is a senior, client -facing role that requires
combinations of expertise in business, management, content, design and technical disciplines. It has a
close relationship with the Project Manager role, but focuses on the project’s creative requirements
rather than the mechanics of running it. The two roles are often combined, however. The Producer role
also frequently overlaps with that of Information Architect. Interactive media companies usually prefer
to keep the Producer role in-house, so this tends to be a permanently employed position. However, there
is a shortage of experienced Producers, so freelance and contract opportunities are still available.
22. Governing body of online
There is no official governing body for online as there is such a wide range of sectors
that have to be regulated. Instead each website tends to create and abide by their
own rules for their users to follow.
