Graphic designers

On average, how much does a graphic designer earn. How much for if you have just graduated, and say how much for someone higher up?

If you work for a small firm, a new graphic designer will earn about �10,000 a year. Big advertising agencies and media corporations will pay more, but often on a performance-related basis. If you work for the public sector you will be better-paid. I work for a big city council's design department. I'm an illustrator, but the graphic designers beside me earn the same as me, i.e. �21,000 a year. Have I helped?

If you go freelance you can earn a lot more.
