Re: Why Hire a Graphic Designer?

There are a number of factors to take into account, but they're mostly taken care of if you like what you see in the designer's portfolio and have some references from other clients. Be sure to agree on a clear, written contract that lays out the scope of work, fees and payment schedule. That way there are less likely to be surprises.

I've tried hiring designers, but a lot of them got these "hidden costs" that keep on charging me little by little. In the long run, better hire a known designer with a fixed expensive rate but gets the job done! :D

You are my hero! This is the best resource I have found and I can not thank you enough. Looking forward to reading more. You have a great style for writing and it is as if I can hear you talking to me. I do not write but I am trying to self-teach how to make my executives publications more appealing. This was so enjoyable!
Smiles!

That's sad, but it points up a really important point about these wonderful software tools we all use: knowing design software doesn't mean you know design, any more than knowing how to use a word processor (or an authoring program) means you know how to write, or having a spiffy digital camera means you know how to compose a great image.

Page design is important. Recently saw a book that had had an indesign designer - or so she said... but the pages were jammed to the margins - to save money on the number of pages printed I'm sure. It was a shame and totally unnecessary. My hunch is she will get some poor reviews simply because the design is ugly and no one will really recognize why.

Glad you like it! (Hard to break those trained-in habits, ain't it?)

Lots more stuff is in the works.
