If you're in the UK, 5% is a little better than inflation. The percentage you can expect really depends on how much you earn already.
If you're right at the top end of what a senior designer could reasonably expect to earn, you're not going to get 5% unless the company you work for can't do without you (or find a suitable replacement) but if you're a middleweight designer who's done everything asked of him and your work is good then 5% would be fairly reasonable.
Ultimately if it's not enough have a look round for another job. If you can find something in your league that is paying way more than you're getting then you would be entitled to ask for a bigger raise or you'll know you could go elsewhere.
