The average salary for a graphic designer is £24 514, according to new figures from the Office for National Statistics.

This is slightly lower than the average national salary for 2009, which is £25 816, according to the ONS’ Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings.

The average salary for a product, clothing or related designer is £28 672, while the average salary for a design associate professional is £25 077.

The survey also shows that salaries for graphic designers have risen by 2.56 per cent over the past year, while salaries for product designers and design associates have fallen by 4.33 and 1.13 per cent respectively.

A Design Week survey in March this year showed that the average salary for a middleweight artworker in London was £24 498, while the average salary for a creative director in the capital was £62 249.


I DON'T CARE! i love drawing and cant see myself settling for anything less. I would be a creative for 12 grand a year and be happy. but it is true you have to pay the bills and happy doesnt do that........................i opt for happy still!!
