For the sixth year, Aquent and the AIGA, in cooperation with Communication Arts magazine, have partnered to offer the highly popular and widely anticipated AIGA|Aquent Survey of Design Salaries.
The year 2005 marks the second consecutive year the report is available as a free, online, interactive database.
Based on a return of more than 3,600 respondents from eight geographic regions containing 15 major metropolitan markets, this year's results clearly indicate an improvement in salary gains for the first time in several years.
This annual survey, considered a benchmark and valuable compensation gauge across the industry, provides a current and specific reflection of what a significant share of those in the design profession are currently earning.
"We ran a five-year trend analysis to review how design salaries have fluctuated," says Jenny Norwood, Aquent marketing manager.
"Although salaries had been flat since 2000, there was a sizable dip from the latter part of 2002 through 2003.
However, we are now seeing an encouraging upswing.
Considering the significant role graphic design plays in branding and how it has emerged as a very important strategic business tool, we're confident the industry will continue to strengthen."
The trend analysis is viewable on the Web site.
