izzit good to work as a graphic designer? will it have a good future... i mean in malaysia??

how about the pay? multimedia designer or graphic designer have a better career prospect? which have the higher salary?

well, until Malaysians understand the different requirements of each specialization then it'll come down to which would be a more lucrative career.

too many employers today are seeking graphic designers with the requirements of a multimedia designer which is utterly dumb in my opinion.

so if you'd like to make a decision, think about what you like doing better or have more interest in striving for a higher level of quality in workmanship.

cheers.

it depend on wat u seek..
it may not a good income when u are fresh(just like me)
but when u keep it in handy on exp and ur skillful program..
u will get good career and income in ur coming future..



may i ask.how old are u now?
just curios..

yeah, the salary damn low. one of my friend with graphic design diploma move on to retail industry.

sad to say but i have to say that malaysian doesnt really appreciate art skills which in overseas is highly recognized.that is why the salary is a bit low and i am also not sure about the career growth of this profession.

ok thx guys for the inputs... graphic designers cannot survive dee

It depends on your interest. If you like collecting garbage, working for DBKL is good too.

yeah..really damn tired...

u can everytime hv the chance to try it out first..
and ask urself..wrethe it suitable for u or not?

sometimes..desire job it really hard to get..
like me..u ask me..am i?interesting in tis kinda of work or not?

i will answer u back..hell no!
the final conclusion is all abt money!

althrought the income is low..
but try to make it something differently..

graphic design...the pay is kinda low...if you're makan gaji...but i was informed when you work with companies learn how they do buisness and develop your artistic sense...and one day open up your own design firm...that's where the money is...
