Local Opportunities • News Companies (Channel 4, 7) • Sports Teams (Sabres, Bills) • Any up-and-coming business or corporation.
Elsewhere • A better job outlook for digital artistswouldbelocated down south in areas like Texas or Flordia. Or any area withestablished/up-and coming businesses. There are jobs locally, but the opportunitiesaren’t as great as they are elsewhere in the country.
Finances • Digital Artistsusuallymakeinbetween 35k-60k. • It reallydepends on how successfull and estbalished the business isthat the graphics are being made for. • There are countless freelance opportunities to takeaccount for also.
