Graphic design should be coupled with some other skill ( e.g products, engineering) that makes the talent unique to command a higher salary.
The barrier to entry is low , so the salary will be 40 to 90k as a start.
Not in graphics design myself, but had a great experience with graphics designers at large consulting company I worked at.
Company had a whole UX division (graphics designer, psychology, industrial design, etc) that would often tag team on consulting projects and bring that unique value to any solution implementation - to ensure solution was user friendly, efficient, effective, etc
So having graphics design skills and experience plus the consulting soft skills (client presentations, requirements gathering, running workshops, etc) was a huge plus there.
Another firm I worked at (small boutique consulting) actually had a whole graphics team that focused on developing marketing and business development and supporting project teams with graphics support. This was more internal and dealt mostly purely with the hard design skills.
I assume roles like these would have higher salaries than what I believe to be traditional graphics design entry level roles (web design, advertising, marketing etc) . I think that would be worth exploring as an option.
Great perspective, it's nice to better understand the scope and range of teams/projects.
Heavily depends on the school. If it’s some random arts school nobody has heard of, low. Something like SCAD or anything dealing with generative AI and it’s probably a F load
Not a ton of money in graphic design. Look into product design
Yes, the biggest thing to study is working in agile environments with product and development teams.
I was a graphic design for the best part of 10 years in London, I went down the freelance route.
That being said, at an agency an internships, if you can find one that pays which can be very hard, will be minimum wage for around 3-6months and if she's good and they have budget they will offer her a Junior designer starts from £16-18k a year. Then around 3-5 years work upto mid-weight designer £25-38k and another 4-5 senior designer at £40-60k and lastly another 5-6 years a creative director at £70-100k.
I would recommend as someone else suggested working on two other skills. They engineering, I disagree, I would suggest coding/wed3 development, UX and UI. With these skills she doesn't have to work in an agency which are stressful and don't pay designer well, she can branch out as I have.
I hate coding so I choice to go down the video and content marketing and social media strategy route which has had the same effect. I contract at £110500 annual.
