Okay, I admit that I am slightly biased about why you should hire a freelance graphic designer. But before you call an agency for your graphic design needs, have a look at these compelling reasons to hire a solo creative.
Team Spirit
Working one-on-one with a designer provides a sense of inclusion in your project. You are not just handing the project over, you are part of the team. You will work directly, and closely, with the art director, graphic designer, photo shoot coordinator, and administrator, because they are all the same person.
The Price is Nice
The cost of hiring a freelance graphic designer is less than hiring an agency. Freelancers work on an as-needed basis which means you are only paying for exactly what you need. They charge either by the hour, or by the project, or both. Also, if a freelancer is home-based they probably don’t have a lot of overhead which most likely means more money in your pocket. You are getting top quality design at a lower price point.
Aiming to Please
Many freelance graphic designers depend on reviews and referrals to earn trust and build a client list. That means they will strive to provide excellent customer service along with high quality design. Sometimes that means working nights, or weekends, or even during vacation.
Mad Design Skills
Hiring a freelance designer gives you the flexibility to choose the specific skill set you need for your project. You can build your own marketing department with experts from different fields such as 4/color print, WordPress websites, logo design, and digital advertising. Not only do they have the skills to produce amazing design work, but they also have the skills to own and operate their own business. That requires not only operational knowledge but also time management skills, organization, and attention to detail.
