Job Responsibilities
I am the graphic artist at my company. I am respnsible for the look and feel of all of our e-learning products. I use Photoshop and Flash to design animations, environments and images. I spend my full work week of 40 hours doing design and layout
Uppers
The best part of the job is when a client is satisfied with a design or layout I created for them
Downers
The worst of the job is the overtime we work.
Lifestyle
Work is overall great. The hours are usually an 8 hours day but very flexible. Dress code is casual. Like I said when it is busy some overtime is expected, but onnly happens a few times throughout the year.
Compensation
The alary range depends on where you live. But I'd say it it ranges between 35 - 45 k per year
Advice to Jobseekers
My best advise would be to keep up on new technologies.
