What should I include in the project brief to ensure clear communication with a freelance creative designer?
A project brief should clearly outline your project goals, target audience, desired style or theme, and any specific design elements you envision. Include timelines, key milestones, and examples of similar projects or styles that inspire you. This helps the designer understand your vision and expectations, ultimately enabling them to deliver designs that align with your objectives.
How can I assess whether a freelance creative designer's style aligns with my project requirements?
Review the designer's portfolio on Contra to evaluate the diversity and quality of their past work, focusing on styles, industries, and types of projects similar to yours. Request sample work or case studies, if available, to gauge their ability to adapt their design style to meet different project needs. This will help ensure their design approach aligns with your project's creative vision.
