There is no official taxonomy for the various species of designers.

UPDATE:

If you want to take a go at creating your own, some various titles that you might see in the graphic design world:


advertisement specialist
advertising designer
art director
book setter
brand manager

The catch is that none of those are necessarily isolated skill sets. Throughout a career, a designer will often be wearing a variety of those hats, often several at the same time.

On top of that, there's no real rules at to what a title implies in terms of seniority or salary from one company to the next. It's mostly arbitrary.
