Abstract
Part design, part media production, web design rarely features in discussions of either field. Web designers do not surface much in debate about media work, nor do they make a regular appearance in studies of design, unless specifically about digital design (such as Leung, 2008). Despite being heralded as ‘the poster boys and girls for the “Brave New World of work”’ (Gill, 2007, p. 12), web designers and other new media workers are rarely studied, as the subtitle to this section, quoting Rosalind Gill’s words (Gill, 2002), suggests.
