It really depends on the company or the boss man. Most of them treat graphic designers as 'unnecessary jobs' and give quite low salary coz they don't understand what we're doing. They feel that for us, it is a piece of cake, thus we do not deserve high salary.
Somemore Graphic Designer occupation is not regarded as Professional job in Malaysia, giving them more reason to not give high salary. This is the Malaysian's mindset nowadays and it's very depressing.
Spread the love of Graphic Design!! heh

QUOTE(tzeerows @ Nov 29 2010, 09:50 AM) so much for 1Malaysia huh?  sigh.. oh well.. u know I know la.. QUOTE(B-Mecha @ Nov 29 2010, 10:32 PM) depends on the position you aim for. Basically a real designer should have the ability to analyze the need and objective of the project, recommend suitable art style, design the visual that tele with the marketing diretion and make sure it entice the target audience. Those software skill like illustrator, photoshop, flash and dreamweaver are just tools. even if someone master the tools, without the skills mentioned above it is nothing more than brainless factory worker. Couldn't agree more with you.. heh.. also add on knowing how to apply concept and idea
