What’s a mid to sr. Level designer / Art Director’s salary range in LA?

I haven’t worked in the agency world for a long time, past few years I have been working at small design studios and in house.

2 different jobs: designer/art director

because in the design world, an art director would be a rank, equivalent to an associate creative director in ad-land. in the ad world, art directors are a specialty (like a copywriter) and a mid/senior of that is not paid as much.

I would say 80 to 120.
