<p class="faq-heading">What is graphic design?</p>
<div class="faq-arrow"></div>
<p class="faq-text">
Put simply, graphic design is the art and craft of creating visual
content that communicates a concept, an idea or a brand message to the
public. Logos, artworks, drawings, illustrations, cards, emails and a
whole paraphernalia of designs are all around us. You can see them in
print and digital media, in shops, restaurants and cafes, on
billboards, books and magazines, in the apps we use, the sites we
visit and the physical and digital products we buy. In fact, graphic
design is a type of communication medium which uses visual means to
convey a message. Designers use different types of physical materials
or software to combine images, graphics and text as the main forms of
expressing this message. Graphic design is used to sell, to build
brand identity or to move people towards specific actions. It is also
a form of art but ultimately, the different elements of the graphic
representation influence our perceptions and emotions. There are
different types of graphic design such as ‘visual identity’ which
deals with the visual elements of the brand via shapes, colors and
images (e.g. logo design, typography, brand style guides) and
‘marketing and advertising’ which is used directly to generate leads
and sales via print (billboards, brochures, flyers, print ads) or
digital (social media posts, banners, videos). There are many other
types such as website design, industrial and product design, fashion
design, book and illustrations, motion graphics design used for
example by streamers or in gaming design and many others.

<p class="faq-heading">How to hire top graphic designers?</p>
<div class="faq-arrow"></div>
<p class="faq-text">
A captivating visual presence is very important whether you’re a
business or a non-commercial entity. Your potential audiences are
already forming an opinion and deciding whether to interact with you
based on what they see, long before you’ve had a chance to say or
write something. So it’s imperative to carefully select the right
freelancer to meet your needs and keep you within budget. There are
many different areas in which graphic designers specialize so if you
want to hire the right talent to meet the requirements of your
particular project, here are some easy to follow tips and tricks. -
Always research their portfolio on Fiverr and ask for more examples if
necessary; - Carefully think about what your style and preferences are
so you know what you like, what you don’t like and what you actually
want (colors, graphics, images, etc); - Write a clear brief -
depending on the size of the project your brief can be very short or
contain a lot of detail. What’s important is to be clear on the
important points; - Define a budget and be clear to yourself and the
freelancer how far you can stretch it; - Form a clear agreement on
deadlines and revisions and respect the work of the designer - if you
are clear on the above points then there shouldn’t be any surprises; -
Think long-term - a good designer will be able to help you
holistically and develop an evolving long-term vision for your product
or service.

How much does it cost to hire a graphic designer
</p>
<div class="faq-arrow"></div>
<p class="faq-text">
There is no simple answer to this question as graphic design is not a
commodity or a product that has an exact way to be measured or priced.
The great thing about Fiverr is that you can find a freelance graphic
designer for any budget, starting from just $5 per gig and going up to
hundreds or thousands of dollars for more complex and time and
resource consuming requirements. However, there are a number of
factors that will influence the final price of the project such as the
level of experience of the seller (from novices to Top Rated and Pro
Sellers), the number or service options included in the gig, delivery
times, number of revisions and whether any extras might need to be
added at some point. In fact, revisions can be a very tricky area for
graphic design projects so it’s key for you to have very clear
requirements to start with and also to agree with the seller what
their output will be (e.g.how many initial versions they will offer)
to avoid any misunderstandings or unwanted surprises on both sides. A
more experienced designer will charge more, however, they can also
help you define your requirements and save time (and money) in the
long-run by keeping you on track for your goals. Alternatively, a new
freelancer who’s perhaps less experienced or trying to build their
reputation will be priced more competitively but might not have the
skills or professional maturity of a seasoned creative director.

<label for="faq-d">
<p class="faq-heading">How do I write a good creative design brief?</p>
<div class="faq-arrow"></div>
<p class="faq-text">
The creative brief is a key document that essentially defines the
objectives, scope and key milestones of a design project. It gives the
required information to the freelance graphic designer on what needs
to be done, who the target audience will be, what key message(s) need
to be communicated, what deliverables are expected, by when (deadlines
and milestones). The creative brief is basically the blueprint that
you’ll need to agree with your internal stakeholders, business
partners or colleagues (or if you are a one-person-show - find a
friend or someone you trust to use as a sounding board) and then
present to the freelancer to guide, inspire them and ensure they
deliver the best possible creative results. Here are some universal
tips for writing a good creative brief that equally apply to most: -
Start by answering the ‘what’ (your goal is) and ‘who’ (your audience
is); - Be clear, concise and to the point - less is more in this case
so avoid being too prescriptive and don’t elaborate too much; - Set
realistic deadlines and factor in the time for feedback and revisions;
- Ask for help - from your team, colleagues stakeholders; - Define
what success will look like so both you and the designer can measure
the results in the end (and stick to your initial definitions). Once
you have all this, keep it as a template and use for future briefs as
it’ll save you time and will ensure you can build long-term
relationships with the graphic designers you work with.

What’s the best way to hire a designer in less than 48 hours?
</p>
<div class="faq-arrow"></div>
<p class="faq-text">
Finding a good graphic designer is very important for the way your
business and brand is presented to your target audience so you need to
be very careful in who you put your trust in. You will need to get to
grips with some graphic design 101’s in order to become better at
selection. Having said that, we know that sometimes there are business
emergencies and you might find yourself in a situation when you need
to hire a professional logo designer, illustration artist,
front-end/UX or web designer or any type of freelance graphic designer
in a hurry. The good news is that Fiverr can help you do that even if
you only have 48 hours or less to complete your project. We have
expert freelancers from around the globe, working 24/7 waiting to
satisfy all your needs. Here’s what to do: - Publish a buyer request
so you can reach a big audience of freelancers who can offer you their
services; - Clearly state your requirements, your budget and your
deadline and sellers will start to contact you immediately; - Make
sure to follow through with offers and ask relevant questions about
experience, how the freelancer will approach the project, expectations
about time and milestones before you decide to place an order; - Read
buyer reviews and ask for additional portfolio examples if not sure; -
Look for the seller rating (Fiver Top Rated and Pro sellers will
command higher prices but will have more experience and skills).

<p class="faq-heading">What makes graphic design so important?</p>
<div class="faq-arrow"></div>
<p class="faq-text">
We live in a visual society so images, packaging, signage,
illustrations, websites, apps and social media all vie for our
attention, making it very challenging to become noticeable let alone
memorable amongst the overload of visual stimuli. In a nutshell, the
most important mission that graphic design plays is communication.
Communication of ideas and messages, with the ultimate objective of
elicit, prompt or evoke an action or an emotion (which will become an
action in the future). So a good graphic designer will build your
logo, create your email campaign or company stationery, do everything
possible (given the right brief) to set you apart from your
competition and convey a message that exudes trust, credibility and
builds a consistent brand and company reputation. A well executed
design project will ensure that the final output, be it a flyer or
your product packaging, or even the design of your office space or
your frontline staff’s uniforms summarizes your mission and vision
statements and communicates in a clear and simple manner the main
ideas that are behind your company or organization and what it stands
for. When you hire a good graphic design professional, preferably one
you can trust on more than one project, they will ensure that all
representations of your products and brand are visually consistent,
recognizable and conveying a clear message. Ultimately, when you ask
yourself ‘How important is it that my customers recognize me?’, if the
answer is ‘very important’ then so should graphic design be for your
brand!
