Hire Freelance Graphic Designers
A graphic designer is an artist who designs images and other visuals around a given concept. These artists create stunning visual communication, either physically or on a computer system, to communicate a particular idea to its audience. Graphic designers make considerable use of tools like animation, images, colors and different fonts to create a design. Vector graphics designers are designers that work on vector art - applying mathematics and geometry in designing the graphics. Equally popular today are infographic designers – graphic designers who visually represent abstract data – such as text and geographic information, to reinforce human cognition.
What Does a Graphic Designer Do?
A graphic designer marries technology with art, creating visually stunning and appealing content, designed with the end goal of increasing traction among the clients. Graphic designers work extensively in creating both graphics for literature like brochures, magazines, and marketing material, as well as graphics for websites and other interactive and digital media. Today, graphic designers have become extremely popular and are mostly seen working with marketing and advertising firms. Due to their increasing demand, there are many freelance graphic designers for hire available, providing online freelance services. For those who wish to get freelance graphic design online, they can do so through top freelance marketplaces, like Guru.
If you wish to hire a freelance graphic designer, make sure they can:
- Conceptualize and execute graphics for various social media platforms.
- Create designs that are artistically appealing and yet get the message across.
- Understand the brand and adhere to design guidelines and design systems.
- Communicate with the client to better understand the requirements.
- Work in tandem with copywriters and account managers to arrive at the final product.

Qualifications of a Graphic Designer
A graphic designer should ideally have:
- Professional education in graphic design or related disciplines.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- An eye for detail and ability to work methodically.
- Thorough knowledge of computer-based graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, GIMP and Adobe Illustrator along with expertise in MS Office.

Other than that, a graphic designer should also have basic skills of editing photos and videos.

Guru.com is my favorite freelance platform. I love the functionality, the support and the strong workflow element, particularly the SafePay feature which makes the transfer of funds so easy. I love the integration with PayPal and the ability to amend agreements, with all steps communicated to and actioned by both sides. Of all the freelance platforms I have used, Guru is by far my favorite.

Kat Jennings | CEO, TaxConnections
As the CEO of www.taxconnections.com, I looked all over the world for someone I could trust to handle our servers and databases. Nix Solutions Ltd. has delivered support for all our servers in the cloud for several years now and they are amazing. As I talked to other service providers who wanted to charge me 10X more I was stunned and pleasantly surprised to discover Nix Solutions Ltd at their low prices. They have continuously provided outstanding service 24/7 which I am forever grateful. These guys do it all and I would advise any CEO that Nix Solutions Ltd. will exceed their expectations. Also, I should add we discovered Nix Solutions Ltd. only through Guru.com which makes me very happy with your organization, too. Thank you for facilitating the connection.

Ed Bagley | Director of Product Marketing, O.C. Tanner Company
In our company, we do ongoing research with our target audience. This includes 30-45 minute phone interviews. It was difficult to conduct the interview, really listen, and ask good follow up questions while trying to capture it all in thorough hand-written notes. One of our writers suggested using Guru to find someone to transcribe these interviews...The person I hired is the one I’ve stuck with for nearly two years now – she is fast, accurate, and affordable. I’d never have found her on my own, given that I live in Utah and she lives in South Africa. I could never have arranged such an effective solution to my on-going need for transcripts without Guru. It’s been a life-saver.
