Graphic Design
|- Web Design - Web Designer
|- Illustration - Illustrator
|- Photo Manipulation - Photo Manipulator
...
Answer
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
- animator
- art director
- book setter
- brand manager
- broadcast designer
- cartoonist
- compositing artist
- copywriter
- creative director
- data visualization specialist
- director
- environmental designer
- exhibition designer
- exhibition fabricator
- graphic artist
- graphic designer
- illustrator
- instructor / teacher
- instructional designer
- interaction designer

- logo designer

- photo editor
- photographer
- prepress operator
- presentation designer
- producer

- sign painter
- signage and way finding designer
- technical illustrator
- type designer
- typesetter
- UX designer
- video designer

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.
