What should I look for in a freelance graphic designer's portfolio?
Look for work that matches the style you like. Check if they have done similar projects before. Make sure their designs catch your eye and feel fresh.
How do I write a good project brief for a graphic designer?
Start with what your project is about. Tell them the style you want and any colors you like. Share what you need them to deliver, like posters or logos.
What should I include in a design agreement with a designer?
Include what you want them to make and when you need it. List the big steps, like sketches or final designs. Don't forget to say who owns the final work.
How can I evaluate if a designer's style is right for my brand?
Think about the feeling your brand should give. See if the designer's work has that feeling. Trust your first reaction to their designs.

Ask them to explain in simple words. Good designers can talk about art in a way everyone gets. Remember, it's okay to ask questions until you understand.

Think about how long you want to spend on each part. Talk with the designer about what they think is possible. Make sure you both agree on the dates.
