AIGA/Aquent Survey of Design Salaries 2009

Source: www.aiga.org| Tags:  Business Graphic Design Tips & Tricks

The AIGA / Aquent Salary Survey 2009 for design professionals is now available as a downloadable pdf. I think printed copies will be sent to AIGA members (atleast that was the case in previous years). In the survey AIGA gathered advice from top design professionals in the industry, including Michael Bierut (page seen above). In addition, there is an online salary calculator. Like most salary surveys, the figures should be taken with a grain of salt (data collected from approx. 9,000 design professionals). Nonetheless, it serves as a good overview and an essential resource for designers and the creative industry.
