There are advantages to multiple-skill practitioners. I enjoy working on a graphic design project with a good writer but I find that writing and designing allows me to meld things organically--writing with a vision and designing with an ear. Something akin to concrete poetry. Of course the same thing can be said about acting as a graphic design/photographer, graphic designer/illustrator, etc. (In the past I might have added graphic designer/typographer to the list but these days we're all supposed to be that.)
Does anyone have any comments on the advantages or disadvantages of anthropologist/designers or other researcher/designers vs. teams of the same skill sets?
