Hourly wages
Over on today's Daily Report from Zeldman, he announced the availability of royalty-free stock icons for web developers (they're nice). But in his praise of them, he notes that at "US $350 per collection, they cost less than two hours of a graphic designers time." I don't know about you folks, but we're not paying $175 per hour for graphic design. So...typo? Or something I'm just completely missing? (Is NYC that expensive?)

Ten years ago the American Institute of Graphic Arts found in a survey that $150/hour was the "average" rate charged by graphic designers. That's ten years ago. It's probably gone up some. You may not charge enough for your work! ;) -- Posted by on July 11, 2003 04:33 PMI think tops would be $70/hour...and in central Virginia, it's more like $35! -- Posted by Joe on July 15, 2003 02:04 PMAt a significant agency, $175/hour for an art director is not unheard of at all. It's not a matter of price, it's a matter of value. -- Posted by Mark on July 18, 2003 08:26 AM
