Have an eBook without a cover or a website without a layout…and lacking the talent and software to create a layout or a cover? Perhaps, a graphic designer is what you need. Just like any product, a graphic designer must meet certain criteria. He should be reliable and be able to understand your vision at an affordable price. Finding a graphic designer who meets these criteria won’t be easy. I’ve listed some tips to make it easier for you to find the graphic designer right for you:
Get people’s referrals. Ask colleagues, friends, or anyone you know who has hired a professional graphics designer before. There’s probably no more honest opinion than the opinion of someone you know. Graphic design forums are also an excellent place to find referrals.
Search for your graphic designer using search engines. Type in important keywords for you and begin looking around. Compile a list and sort through them even if it takes hours.
Check testimonials in a designer’s website. If links to their customer’s site exists, double-check with the customer if the testimony found in the customer’s site is valid. Look through the site and see if you are impressed by their work. Visit multiple customers’ sites to see if the designer’s style might be over-used. If the site indicates repeating customers, then the graphic designer can probably be trusted.
Find a graphic designer who’ll give you a guarantee. It’s advantageous to find a designer who’s willing to accept payment later after the work is finished. These types aren’t quite common to find anymore, so instead, find the designer who’ll offer a money-back guarantee or a re-design if you aren’t satisfied with the work.
Choose a graphic designer who makes it easy to order. Many designers offering their services are quite a hassle to order from. Try not patronizing designers who don’t provide accurate contact information. Designers who can’t give you their real names can’t be trusted. Analyze their order forms too to see whether they are interested in their customers. It’s a big boost if the form asks for your preferences.
Consider professional costs but not too much. Although designers who are cheap or give discounts are enticing, if quality work isn’t produced, it’s better to stick to a designer who can give you quality work even at a heftier price. Quality work is expensive but the sales boost compensates for it.
