Some year ago, the people that worked developed an interface was called “interface designers”.

Years later this name was changed because it was
generalist for the new jobs, more specific. the name “Interface designer” included all people take part in interface from developer until graphic designer.

Arisen new names as:

• Interaction designers: people involved in the design of all the interactive aspects of a product, not just the graphic design of an interface.

• Usability engineers: people who focus on evaluating products, using usability methods and principles.

• Web designers: people who develop and create the visual design of websites such as layouts.

• Information architects: people who come up with ideas of how to plan and structure interactive products, especially websites.

• User-experience designers: people who do all the above but who may also carry out field studies to inform the design of products.

Sometime these names is used as synonyms, when it aren´t. This is a important problem for the profession, because:

Hinders the development of knowledge, penalizes salary range and it create professional profiles not specialist.
