Video Game Designer is widely used by everyone and is used to describe a computer designer. However they are two separate jobs. The designer starts with an idea for a game, plans out a story, sights and sounds. It's the Designers job to develop the overall concept and story of the game. Think of it as being an architect of a building.
You are in charge of the entire design and people that work with you to finish it. It's the same with being a Designer. He sets the framework of the game and works with the design team. The requirements for this position are a combination of creative and technical skills. Writing, performing, visual arts and music are especially useful.
The most important are excellent computer skills to understand the many problems you can encounter in development. Since the Video Game Designer is a leadership position, you need management and leadership skills to direct the work of a game design team. The salary of design jobs varies widely from $35,000-$75,000 a year. However this was reported in 2001 so it could've changed by now.
