How can I define clear goals for my graphic design project?
Before hiring, think about what you want your graphic design to accomplish. Write down if you want a logo, a poster, or something else. Be specific about the message and style you like so the designer knows what you need.
What should I include in my project brief to attract qualified designers?
A good project brief includes details about your company and the project. Describe your brand, target audience, and project goals. Clear instructions help designers understand what you need to see if they're a good fit.
Which portfolio aspects should I look at when reviewing a designer’s work?
Look at their past work to see if their style matches your needs. Notice if they have experience with similar projects. Check if their designs are visually appealing and meet professional standards.

Plan when you need the project done and tell the designer early. Include any important dates, like meetings or launch days. Clear timelines help the designer plan their work and avoid surprises.
What’s the best way to outline deliverables for a graphic design project?
