How we build the Graphic Designer band for Malaysia
Brand and motion work pays more than production design, and agencies price visual design above in-house marketing teams. The three level bands below apply a fixed multiplier to a country-adjusted reference, then narrow the range with level-specific spreads. What moves a graphic designer offer up inside a band is typography, branding and layout, and what moves it down is local comp quirks.
