Video game designers are artistic and creative dreamers. They are also technologically savvy and can make a great living doing what they love. According to Game Developer Magazine's annual salary survey, salaried game professionals make an average of around $80,000. Beginning with game descriptions which include plot, character and game play, video game designers work with programmers and artists, collaborating in groups to create exciting video games from beginning to end. After the best game concepts are chosen, different design teams work on the individual components of a game.
