Hiring the right graphic artist

Hiring the right designer

While it’s easy to find a designer, hiring a graphic artist who understands marketing and web design will save you time, headaches, and printing dollars.

A graphic artist has a responsibility to efficiently combine art and technology by using strategic placement of text and images. This combination should communicate a message that generates a sale.

When seeking a graphic artist, you need to view their portfolio of work and be sure that they show versatility. Once you find a designer that matches your style, you need to assess their professionalism and reliability. This includes references, experience, knowledge, education, and price.

Having the right professional means that you will end up with a more creative, appealing, and polished project the first time around.

Creating a professional brand image

Creating a professional image

A good graphic artist will understand that business logos are not just for multi-national corporations. Graphics are for any enterprise that wants to present a professional image and customer recognition for a job (otherwise known as branding).

Your logo works for you on your business cards, stationery for your company, invoices and receipts, your business’ publications, and of course ads. A good business logo design helps your customers remember your business and many people remember images better than they remember the words.

Finding a graphic artist

There are plenty of graphic artist within the crowded market. If you have not found one yet, then ask a friend, family member, or stranger on the street. Chances are one of them will claim to be or know a graphic designer.

The right artist should not only be creative, but they should also understand how to create artwork that is marketable. Designing is the easy part, but knowing what to design, who to design for, and how to direct, entertain, persuade, and attract attention with your artwork is the difference between having good artwork and effective artwork.
