It depends on what level!. An entry level Graphic Designer will usually make between 25,000-30,000!. A designer with more experience can make 30,000-50,000 and an Art Director can usually make anywhere from 50,000-2,000,000!.

Free lance designers usually get paid by the hour!. When I free lance, I usually charge a rate of around $30-45 an hour with an up front estimate of how many hours it will take to complete the project!. If it is a small project, I may charge one fee!.
