Answer 3

hi friend,

it's up to the budget of the company you work, if it's a project and according to the value of money where you are. In the western countries artists are paid well but as I am form India I know it's less. Most of the companies and Ad agencies do have their own art director, visualizer, copywriter, illustrator and graphic artist. So it's a team project and everyone shares the work. Here most of the the agencies gives all the task to one person to cut down the rest human resource and manages their profit. Well reputed companies have all the rest as the concentrate more on quality than quantity. If you have enough resources and contacts you can do it freelancing also.. Anyway in arts whether it graphical or not more than money its you freedom to work and express does matter.

regards and tc

gopu.
