  • Execute or arrange for the execution of the graphics solution

Education

  • College diploma in computers, design art or Web design
  • Bachelor's degree in design art

Skills

  • Proficient in the use of Web, graphic design and animation software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Acrobat, Flash
  • Familiarity with the Windows environment

  • Good overall culture for coming up with ideas

Qualities

  • Creativity and imagination
  • Great curiosity
  • Good sense of observation
  • Good teamwork skills
  • Handles stress well (meeting deadlines)

Salary

The compensation of Web designers varies depending on skills and experience. The average salary is $33,000, and can go as high as $50,000 with experience.

Career path

Since the world of Web designers is continually changing, the scope of their job has considerably broadened. They can move into management positions by becoming art or creative directors for a studio.
