I stumbled across this article: made me laugh.

Level designers/mappers are now called "Environmental Artists". Don't call them level designers or mappers anymore, it just pisses them off.

This change has to be made because of the economy. A lot of ex-level designers are looking for work, generally in the advertising and food service industries, and when people read their resumes they don't know what a level designer is. They don't know what an "Environmental Artist" is, either, but it sounds like you need a degree to be one, so they don't want to show their ignorance by asking.

So the next time you almost step on that wino sleeping on the sidewalk, have a care, that might be an "Ex-Environmental Artist" you're stepping over.

It's sort of ironic isn't it? In the mod community, mods are always begging for mappers, but in the real world we are the ones doing the begging.

Environmental Artist ... boy does that tic me off! Makes us sound like Conservationist Assholes.

Save the whales! Stop cutting down our trees! For pete's sake, save a snake!

Or it can make it sound like you are one of those nature painters... meh, not the best title. Why can't they make it sound all confusing and Big worded...like...umm..
"Computer Graphic World Designer & Architect"
meh, not bad, could be expanded on...maybe even altered. I need a Thesaurus or something....
