prices for services. It is necessary to choose the best prices so that they are low for the client, and the work is adequately paid. There will be a lot of customers for a low price, but you won’t have to work for a long time, in this case, because low pay will soon get bored. Too high price for services will scare off customers, respectively, there will be few orders, which means that earnings will be miserable;
working hours. The more a specialist spends at a computer, the more he will have wages per day, week and month.

How much does an interior designer earn

Interior designers most often work in a design studio, and here their salary depends on experience and seniority.

Beginners in this field will earn no more than 20,000 rubles in the regions, and in the capital - up to 40,000 rubles. A specialist with experience and higher education is valued more and is already being offered from 50,000 to 80,000 rubles.

If a specialist works for himself and leads one project, the salary of such an interior designer will be more than 100,000 rubles. If his work is structured in this way, then he suggests:

more ideas;
he has the opportunity to concentrate on the realization of the original idea;
exercises control over their own works.

What is the salary of a landscape designer

The profession of a landscape designer is valued on a par with an interior designer. It can be noted that such a position is a little more prestigious, since this type of design refers to architecture. Currently, many families are trying to move to live outside the city, or at least buy country house to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city summer time of the year. Therefore, the services of a landscape designer are popular.

How much he earns landscape designer, mainly affects the territorial place of his work. In the regions such a specialist will receive a salary in the amount of 30,000 rubles. In Moscow and Moscow region the rate is doubled to about 60,000 rubles. If this specialist is well versed in g radio engineering, geodesy, ecology and water supply, then the price for his services may increase up to 80,000 rubles.

If a landscape designer is creating one project, not 3 or 4 at the same time, then his salary will be more than 100,000 rubles. In this case, he must create not only Beautiful design in the courtyard of the house, but also to make a garden with fruit trees, as well as winter Garden, which will delight the owners of the house in the cold season.

For example, in the largest firm in the city of Moscow, the salary of a clothing designer can vary from 80,000 to 100,000 rubles.

In the regions, the income of such a specialist will be less. The level of earnings of a fashion designer depends on the size of the settlement and how more city, the greater the income of the creator of stylish and fashionable outfits.

A fashion designer must have a good reputation, the only way he can create a name for himself and increase his salary at times. Everyone knows that in this area there are stellar specialists with high salaries, but they are few.

What is the salary of the design profession abroad

Before going abroad to get a job as a designer, you need to learn the language of the country where you plan to travel to earn money. If a specialist knows the language, then he will be valued and receive high wages. If the company is prestigious, and the specialist has no knowledge of the language, then you will have to hire for the first time if the salary justifies such expenses.

Graphic designers and web designers, for example, in America receive $37,000 to $103,000 depending on work experience. A creative director can earn up to $170,000 per month. Australian designer the interior also has decent income, which is $40,000 to $105,000.

Advertising agencies in the capitals of many countries pay designers the most. So, an employee with a short work experience will receive from 326 to 590 dollars per hour. Compared to our standard of living, such incomes are considered very high, and for those countries, this is quite a normal salary for an employee who has graduated from a university and has talent and work experience.

Working in an agency is profitable and convenient. You are always busy, interesting projects and growth. For sociable people, office work is a plus, but lovers of free travel will not be happy with a vacation once a year.

Employment options and salaries in companies can be different. Some firms hire remote employees on a permanent basis and assign them a fixed salary. For example, an online store where you need to update the design of packaging, products, come up with layouts for various promotions, etc. The salary of such an employee depends on the amount of work and the complexity of the tasks.

How much do they earn over the hill?

Interior designer

An interior designer is a specialty that promises interesting, creative work, great opportunities for self-realization, and sometimes world fame. Such as that of Jaguar design director Ian Cullum, recognized best designer interiors of 2013 according to the Automotive Interiors Expo Awards.

The starting salary in some regions ranges from 20 to 30,000 rubles per project. Closer to Moscow, you can take 60,000.

But, sadly, not everyone manages to find a job with a high salary, first of all, this is due to the high competition in the labor market. A freshman with a recent college or college graduate shouldn't expect to earn more than $30,000 a month.

To earn good money you need experience starting from 3 years.

Interior designer

Interior design work is in demand and well paid, no less than the work of an architect, for example. The work of interior designers usually consists of:

project development;
drawing up drawings;
sketching;
online consultations;
decoration;
control over the entire process of creating an interior;
calculation of the material and its cost.

Again, work experience is of great importance, so a less experienced designer has an income of no more than 25,000, in Moscow the amount reaches 38,000.

Those who have completed more than a dozen successful projects can earn up to 100,000 per month. Payment by region is shown below:

Game designer

Since games became popular, the need for people who can create the game world, fantastic animals and creatures has increased. You need to have knowledge of computer graphics and understand the motion industry. Pay will depend on experience and region.

The average salary in Russia is 45,000, for a senior specialist - 80,000.

Also, the specifics of the game designer's actions will affect the income. For example, an illustrator receives from 60,000 to 120,000, and a layout designer from 40,000 to 80,000. While a 3D designer's salary ranges from 50,000 to 150,000.

Salary of game designers in 2018:

The profession is in demand, but not so relevant for some regions. For example, in the Vladimir region, such specialists are not required at all. Education and knowledge will not be enough, talent and taste are needed here.

If the designer works in a small studio, then the earnings will be no more than 30,000 rubles per month.

In larger firms, according to average statistics, the salary reaches 100,000.

Now let’s take a closer look at how much fashion designers earn:

Web designers

This includes graphic designers who do not have to go to the office, so most professionals in this field work remotely.

Web designers develop websites, accounts for various companies and even large firms. Their earnings will depend on the client base, experience, education and portfolio.

The advantage for graphic designers will be the ability to create miui.

The salary will vary from 20,000 to 70,000 rubles, depending on the complexity of the order. For example, you can make an avatar for 500 rubles, and a larger project, a landing page, already costs 1,500-3,000.

Portfolio

This is the calling card of any designer. Here is what information is placed in the portfolio:

illustrations of previously completed projects;
mandatory job description;
resume, where experience, education, reviews are indicated;
personal information about yourself.

Almost all designers can go freelancing, vacancies can be found on special exchanges or in social networks, on job search sites via the Internet. But we advise you to remember that it is better for beginners to take less paid jobs in order to gain the necessary experience.

Depending on the request of the customer, the amount of payment can be from 500 to 3,000 per project.

For many, it will be preferable to work in an office, with a fixed schedule and rest 2 times a year. Which, of course, will be different from freelancing, where the designer works on a free schedule remotely. In the office, payment can reach from 40,000 to 100,000 per month.

Payment abroad

If a designer knows a foreign language like a native one, he can try himself on foreign exchange sites. In the US, design specialists are more valuable, and earnings are an order of magnitude higher.

The salary of a designer abroad is $300-600 per hour.

Knowing all the basics and understanding what industry the designer works in, you can plan your income, which will depend on some factors:

availability of higher education;
knowledge of the principles of work;
design skill;
freehand drawing;
knowledge of programs and the ability to work with them.

Recall that the earnings of any designer will depend on experience, talent, education. A young specialist in this sense will not be so lucky, since he has not developed a client base, has not thought out his own style. If a beginner works in an office, then he is unlikely to be entrusted with a large project, again, due to lack of experience.

In everyday life, we daily encounter the results of designers' creativity. These are outdoor advertising, printed products, stylish clothes and creative concepts in the landscape. Therefore, what is the salary of a designer is an interesting and relevant issue. First of all, payment for the results of an artist's work depends on the area of application of his knowledge and qualifications in the relevant field. Monthly income increases in proportion to experience and professional skills. For beginners who cannot boast of an extensive portfolio, the average salary of a designer reaches 40,000 rubles in federal cities and 25,000 in the regions.

Designer salary

The highest salary for a designer is in Moscow - on average, it is 50 thousand rubles a month. You can count on a salary of 40 thousand in St. Petersburg and Sevastopol. In other regions, the average salary of a designer in Russia at the end of 2016 is 35 thousand rubles. It should be noted that young specialists and graduates prefer to work at a fixed rate. The implementation of individual projects can bring higher profits, however, given the many nuances, it will be more objective to consider salaries in companies.

The profession of a designer is also important, the salary in which depends on the specifics of the field of employment. Highly paid specialists in landscape design and environmental designers are also in the highest demand. Second place goes to interior design. Comparatively less are web designers, with the exception of animators. The creators of stylish clothes are paid on average about 30 thousand.

interior designer salary

In the direction of an interior designer, the salary in Russia depends on the prestige of the company, the talent and reputation of the employee, and the complexity of the projects. Given the specifics, it is difficult to voice the exact amount that an interior designer receives - the average salary in general is about 40 thousand, but in fact the income varies from 20 to 100 thousand rubles a month. Beginners in the regions are offered a minimum salary of 20 thousand, while the salary of an interior designer in Moscow, subject to his experience, can exceed 80 thousand.

When working on their own projects, a specialist can earn even more, especially in large cities, but this requires an excellent reputation, creative ideas, author's style and concentration on the result. The work is structured in such a way that with the high-quality implementation of the project, there is a high probability of receiving a more paid order, so the income of a responsible specialist is constantly growing.

Web (web) designer salary

In Russia, the average salary of a web (web) designer varies from 25 to 75 thousand, depending on the region and area of employment. The work experience, the presence of a portfolio, the optimal price of services and the speed of work affect the payment for work.

A specialist needs to present himself correctly, request a project cost that will suit customers and be profitable, and also work as productively as possible.

Compared to foreign colleagues, in Russia a graphic designer receives a much lower salary in all areas. The only exception is motion design, that is, the development of graphic animations, the price for which is one of the highest on the image market.

landscape designer salary

A very specific direction is a landscape designer - a profession in which the salary is quite easily predictable. Having the same specifics as interior design, landscape development is a long-term work on single projects. Most of the work is carried out in the summer, so the specialist does not need to deal with a variety of orders, concentrating on a particular landscape. This profession is considered very prestigious, since it partially relates to architecture.

The average salary of a landscape designer in the regions is about 30 thousand rubles a month. The salary of a landscape designer in Moscow is usually 2 times higher and amounts to 60 thousand. Specific areas such as geodesy, water supply, urban planning and ecology in the capital can bring more than 80 thousand every month.

According to the process of work, the services of a landscape designer can be divided into 2 types. The above salaries are given for cases where a specialist is engaged in one line of activity. When fulfilling a large order on a site, including diverse services, for example, architectural and gardening, the cost of one project often exceeds 100 thousand rubles.

clothing designer salary

Separately, it is necessary to consider the direction of the clothing designer - a profession in which the salary is slightly lower than in other areas - about 30 thousand rubles a month. Despite the prestige of the work, only a few eminent fashion designers receive a large income in this area. If you look at the average salary of a fashion designer, then even the largest Moscow firms do not pay specialists more than 80 thousand per month. In the field of fashion design, the talent of a designer is crucial, as well as a reputation that will allow you to find a job in a large firm in a federal city. Only in this case, the income will be above average.
