A look at the Salary of a Graphic Designer

Tue Jul 28, 2009, 3:38 AM
Graphic designers use images and type to create a wide array of products, from corporate brochures to CD covers to book jackets and logos. While publishing and advertising are two of the most prevalent industries when it comes to employing graphic designers, almost every industry relies on the services of graphic designers when it comes time to produce printed materials. In many cases, graphic designers also significantly contribute to online materials and designs. Graphic designers work with images and text in a variety of formats, from print to electronic. Most graphic design today, however, relies on computer software, and the combination of the designer's creativity and skilled eye and his or her technical savvy is a crucial one.

The current median wage for graphic designers is around $35,000, with most designers earning between $20,000 and $60,000. While full-time salaried graphic design positions are available, many graphic designers work on a contract, freelance basis. For graphic designers who set out on their own, business savvy plays an important role in their ability to succeed.



Outlook

Graphic design, like many creative fields, is intensely competitive. While the outlook for the field is bright considering the increasing demand for graphics, particularly those destined for online uses, it is a field that continues to attract many talented individuals. When considering a career in graphic design it is important to remember how competitive the field is.

No formal degree is required to become a graphic designer, although many entry-level positions require a bachelors degree. Nonetheless, a focused graphic design degree can be enormously beneficial, improving your skills and helping you to develop a strong portfolio, which is generally the most essential part of finding work in the field.

Hey, I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes.

I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country’s peace. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh.

I always wanted to be a great Artist,designing, painting and photo shooting. But my dream is to be a Movies Director.

This is a brief introduction of myself. Do not expect too much, and keep your sense of humor.

JAzakallah khair ukhti. Which email should i send u the details on? I want to send u some examples as well.

I needed a Membership Card designed for a non for profit company called Serve Muslims. I need this Card ASAP (thursday) InshAllah.

It is a serve Muslims Membership card called MMC – Muslims Membership Card.

Following is what I could like on the Front
Serve Muslims Logo and it says Project of Serve Muslims
MMC in CAPS
Muslims Membership Card (right under MMC)
Valid From: MM/YY
Expiration: MM/YY

The back will be similar design as the front but it will have some disclaimers on it. If you could work on the front the back will be very easy inshAllah

Jazakallah kahir.

Please send me your email so i could send u the pictures i would like you to see an examples :)
