Finding Real Deal Graphic Design Services

 

These days there are many graphic designers offering services online. Maybe too many. This article covers some useful needs on graphic designers and what to look for when requesting a logo design, brochure design, or any of the myriad reasons to request a graphic design service for your business or organization's imaging needs.

Graphic design services these days (like any service these days) have been in decline for some time now (in this designer's opinion). Take logos, for example. I can't tell you how many logos I see out there with a swoosh or slide graphic that shoots up as if orbiting the text that makes up the logo. I would like to tell you that the designers who created the thousands of swoosh logos used this design staple because it was the best solution for their client. I can only hear them say that this simple element is truly a complex, developed "less is more" approach to their clients' design and that it is worth every drop of the hundreds of dollars they are charging Graphic design ghana it. I'd like to tell you that, but sadly that's not the case.

I'm not saying that if you have a swoosh on your logo then you were scammed by a fake graphic designer looking to make a quick buck from a simple design that grabs your attention. In fact, I've even used a swoosh or two in my designs (although usually at the request of my client and certainly not as the only element in the design). What I'm saying is that when you look at how many logos have this swoosh graphic element, it becomes quite obvious that a lot of graphic design sources these days are just trying to fill their orders as quickly as possible without really thinking about it. in the design purpose and customer needs. It is sad but true that most businesses of any kind today are focusing more on looking like a business than being a business. How many times have you asked for something only to find out later it was just a gimmick designed to get the sale?

So how do you know if you are hiring a real graphic designer focused on doing real design work and not just one of the many imposters trying to look like they are spending time and thinking their design is paying them good money? for? A good place to start is the facts.

When you are online looking for a graphic designer, do some reading. They should have an information page, a resume, or some type of credential available on their website. If not, it is time to leave that website. I don't recommend testimonials because these days there is no way to verify where these wonderful comments came from. Stick to facts and information that can be verified if necessary. If you're paying hundreds of dollars or more for design services, you'd better see a few years of experience on that designer's resume. Where did they get their education from and actually specialize in Graphic Design? What is your employment history like? Have you really been a graphic designer on every job on your resume? It's worth doing a bit of research because you will likely need more design work in the future and wouldn't it be great to have a designer you can trust?

Take a look at their portfolio of designs below. Do the designs resemble each other? Maybe the elements of the designs look different (because they are for different companies) but are they all organized in the same way with the same type of type used? Are they just putting swooshes on everything? If so, you are most likely on the site of one of the imposters who uses visual tricks to surprise their customers and get the sale.

Beware of graphic design websites that offer promises that are too good to be true (if something sounds too good to be true ...). If you're paying just $ 50 for a logo, chances are you'll get a graphic or clip art with your business name stamped on it to make the sale. If they say that countless designers will be working on your project, then chances are that you are never directly speaking to those designers, or that you are paying for countless designers, or that they are simply using visual tricks to sell the design so they can move on. to the next customer as quickly as possible.
