FAQs

When evaluating a freelance art director's portfolio, focus on their visual style and whether it aligns with your brand. Look for a diversity of projects that demonstrate their versatility. Pay attention to their past work with similar project scopes or industries to ensure they can meet your specific needs.
To establish clear deliverables, first outline the project objectives and any specific visual requirements. Collaborate with the art director to break down the project into phases, specifying what each milestone will entail. This can help in setting realistic timelines and expectations. Use Contra's tools to document and agree on these deliverables in a shared format accessible to both parties.
Before starting the project, schedule a kickoff meeting to discuss the project brief in detail. Set up regular check-ins to monitor progress and tackle any potential hurdles promptly. Utilize Contra's management features to track progress and encourage open communication. Also, define preferred communication channels and response times to enhance collaboration.
