Tips for the “I need a graphic designer!” Posters • don’t be an engagement bot • Have a general idea of what you need, details, even vague ones, help get everyone to the finish line. • Mood board/collect some images of what you have in mind • “I know it when I see it” does not work for anyone involved • have a real budget in mind • experienced designers cost more because they take a lot of guess work out of the equation. Cheaper designers can work out too just be prepared to direct more.
