If you are a graphic designer =x

[jonnnaay]

I have this Career Project at school and it is due tommorow. I'm almost done with it, but im having a couple problems finding stuffs T_T

First of all, i picked "Graphic Designer" career.

Now lets get to the point.

These are the questions i need to know about Graphics Designer:

• How many hours do Graphic Desingers work a day? (EG: 8 hours? 10 hours? etc.)

• What kind of Benefits do Graphic Designers have? (Like Healthcare, Dental Insurance, retirement, etc.)

Please be specific for the answers and please provide a link that proves your answer so i can see it

I will +rep or anything like that ^_^ Thanks in advance!

-----------------------------------
Edit: Nevermind guys, I got the answers for those questions, although none of you got the right answers anyways


• How many hours do Graphic Desingers work a day? (EG: 8 hours? 10 hours? etc.)
- Graphic Designers usually works 8 hrs. a day, and 12 hrs maximum.

• What kind of Benefits do Graphic Designers have? (Like Healthcare, Dental Insurance, retirement, etc.)

I doubt your gonna find an actual "Graphic Designer" here.

I know someone who works for a graphic design company or something. I don't think she does the actual graphics stuff though.

you can find very useful information on google.
Or collegeboard's myroad section.

In general:
-Graphics designers work as much as they feel like, as many of them work from home and work on a commission basis.
-Benefits: Graphics designers get to work whenever they feel like it, much of the time at home. You get access to a bunch of useful graphics editing software.
Unless if you work for a company, then things change.
Or something like that from what I recall.

Of course, only use this information (it's from vague memories of stuff I read a year ago) as a last resort (if it's useful at all LOL).

If nothing else, give them bullcrap and they won't be able to tell the difference as long as you don't put anything ridiculous in it.

The number of hours they work a day vary of course but I have an example from CareerCruising.com (Username: bayview P/W: glen...click on Explore Careers > Search by School Subject > Computers > Graphic Designer). Click on Working Conditions and it says this.

"Working hours depend on the place of employment. Designers who work for large companies or design firms usually work regular hours—around 8 hours a day. Freelance graphic designers usually have more irregular job schedules, and often work longer hours.

If an important deadline is approaching, graphic designers might work for up to 15 hours a day. Evening and weekend work is also common in such circumstances. "

Your second question is kind of stupid because I think that they wouldn't have any benefits at all. Well of course it varies from company to company so you wouldn't know. Hope this is enough proof and help!

You found one.


I make sigs, websites, emblems, avatars, renders, banners, and more for people/sites/companies. Im not the best, but I can fullfill most requests right on.


Basically, they work until they have the requests and orders completed. So, if they finish that days work in 5 hours, its a 5 hour day. 8 hours, its an 8 hour day. I try to get 10-15 done a day, if i have that many on that day.

Benefits, heh, none, besides ability to do art work...


Thats just how i've experianced things. Again, I'm not a big league, but I do work for some companies.

not making sigs and shlt for randoms... sorry.

show me one thing you have made for a company.

[GunnerZeke]

anyways... it depends on the company... for say you worked for Cartoon Network.... then you would probaly work 24/7 cuz everyone knows that CN changes their website GFX like once every month.....

Benefits also depend on the Company..... if ur a Freelancer... like for a newspaper... then u have almost no benefits...

it all depends on the company.
