I'm so glad you asked this!! I'm in the same situation and I have no idea how to ask for compensation for all the extra work I'm doing at my next review.

I've been in this exact situation. I worked as a Sales Associate in a retail store, was promoted to Lead when new management rolled around, and was given the opportunity to take on several projects involving design and photography (e.g., the store newsletter, in-store signage, etc.) on top of my regular duties. I think I was getting paid around $12.50/hr at the time. When I tried to negotiate a raise during my review, I was denied ("budget issues"), but this might just be because of the company I work for (where there's been no merit-based raises for me and almost everyone I work with in at least 4 years ( ... )

Whoops, just saw your part about the 12 hours of design per 36-hour work week. I'd still show them the breakdown!

And if they deny you a raise, you can also try to negotiate for working at home (if you're interested). Tell them that you can spend one day a week doing design work.
