Overlap. Since the market changed, I haven't seen anybody recently
supporting the idea of hiring somebody JUST to be an "information
designer." In this leaner/meaner time, seems like a tech writer is
expected to handle most or all aspects of taking documentation from the
brain of a product's creators to the final published result.
