How important is it in this day and age to be a specialist in one area of design, rather than a master of many?

Does having skills in many different fields push you ahead or is it the specialists who are sought out?

Master of few tools is always better. Same time have an exposure to other tools too support as time / career progress. Most of the people grow to manage multiple people and coordinate with clients and departments. Then communication and knowledge about multiple fields supports to perform well. Today difficult to say sticking to only a tool is good. Best to be flexible, keep learning, keep improving communication (most important)...Now border between fields are getting narrower. Some places, single tool only and master of it works, not majority and market and competition is keep growing. Choosing best tools gives an edge for long term. Again communication skill is above or parallel to technical skills.

This is a question I live with everyday. I have a broad range of experience in print design, digital design, web design, animation, marketing, content. But I believe this wide range of knowledge and experience has, in most cases, impressed the recruiter. The world is now integrating all forms of media- print is now closely linked to E-publishing, newspaper publishing is usally accompanied by a digital campaign, a mobile app design usually has a web version.... and so on. Having skill in one area limits your growth, and have a broad range of experience makes you a perfect candidate for a Manager role.

It is only a matter of frequency of how you are using that specialty. If you have several specialties and you are not using it anymore, chances are that you may have forgotten some of the skills inherent to that specialties.Shift to other specialties may have caused by change of career, job and responsibilities, interest, salary, work place, stress, etc. It is imperative that we keep one specialty at expert level and keep other specialties at intermediate level and try to make use of it in our job.
