no degree or diploma stated......its based on ur experienced....as long as i remember, every interview i attend to, the company never asked for ur dip or degree....they just wanted to see ur artwork....in this particular line of work, the skills is what they needed most.....not the other way around....

Just some add on, if you can improve more on skill n exp + interested in teaching. Then lecturer oso is a good target to aim for.

If you have a strong portfolio plus the job requirements requires a lot of creativity, you can definitely go for $2-3k ish..

Of course you can always settle for $1.5 - $2k first and start working, maybe after 3-4 months can start asking for a raise

Hi, Thanks for the answers guys hehehe

It's all depending on the company itself as for me i used to a graphic designer in 1 advertising company. they just pay me for 1,800...

But the workload...

haha..3k salary for starter is too much
if 3d animator i no comment lah

its quite subjective, depend on job scope, firm, and job experience
RM1200-1500 and RM1600-1800 just for some guideline only/

u all will shock from my 1st salary from few years back..haha

currently, for fresh grad graphic design student, 1500~1800 is consider good enough. For those who can get beyond 2k or more, either their portfolio are @_@ or they may need to get involve in other job scope ( exp marketing ). BUT!! the workload is =.="" HORRIBLE!!

*my record(currently) - 80~85 working hrs per week.

LIFELESS ~!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!~

hmm , about 1500~2500

In this range depends on your boss

Mostly graphics designers are Diploma holder , ya' need to get the Degree before you can get high salary ~ at the least

Degree wont give you high paid in malaysia. If you have degree but your portfolio like crap, no one want to hire you also.

Not more than RM2k, sadly...

Also, depend the area where u work. Damasara, PJ, kepong , sri hartamas, can get more pay, but the stuff there (food & parking) cost u alot. (yes, u can earn more in EPF).

Good luck.

thats Najib for us

still, designer need to pick extra work, i mean, just working for one company wouldnt brings enough income.
take time and find some other clients

What do u guys think about doing web designer? I think become web designer is better than graphic sallary or maybe do both?
I think depens on company, how serious they are to find people.

web designer? all i could say, web master got a better pay

what abt the average pay for Graphic Designer in kuching? does anyone noe?

for me... cert is important there, maybe because tat is not a design based company..
my salary is not high, but much higher than those with more experience.. always keep the slip as private as possible

what's the benefit between degree / diploma cert to a designer ?

if you're working with Government, thats mean, degree will have higher paid
if you're working with non-gov company, thats mean, not much differ (they judge by your work), maybe a cooler resume(with degree title), yes

Company want good experience, attitude & passion.

Im have no Diploma. Im ex-graphics designer. Now 3D Artist. Good luck

Better to open your own business design. Improve your skill and artwork. I think that web designer's salary is higher than graphic designer?
