I'm wrapping the contents of my portfolio, and just realized I better get
myself a business card. I'm wondering what to call myself.
Is Visual Communication Specialist too much?

Be careful what you call yourself. Some states have nasty "occupation taxes"
and your rate depends on your job title. The people who set the rates set
higher rates for those who have buzz words like "engineer" in the title. If I
saw your card with "Visual Communication Specialist," I'd wonder what you do.
Draw?
