In order to heir a graphic designer I would need to figure out how much it costs to pay a graphic designer for the year. Doing my research I have found out that the average graphic designer earns £22,000 a year or more depending on the skill of the graphic designer. Doing the math I found out that this would be £105 on a daily basis, which is £13 an hour.
