In today’s age, where there are countless apps and websites online offering DIY logo and graphic design, do businesses still need to hire a professional graphic designer?
Most small business owners will find these outlets very appealing but as with any cost-cutting plan, there can be some unfortunate outcomes in the long run. Logos and graphics bought online will certainly not have the creative thought process behind them that an expert can put in and as such will never truly represent your brand. You will also find that printers will tend to overcharge you if your material is not in the exact format they need. This is where the professionals come in graphic designers come in. Below are 5 reasons why you should hire a graphic designer!
Saves time
Time is money. As a small business owner, the last thing you want to do is waste many of your precious work-hours struggling to design graphics exactly as you want them. Especially when these hours could be spent doing the important stuff – growing your business! A good graphic designer can design your logo, brochures and marketing material much more efficiently. In fact, they will have many professional iterations ready for you in the same time that you would spend getting used to the software.
Saves money
Graphic designers know how to get the most bang for your buck. A designer will always make sure to prepare your materials in a way that keeps the printing cost to a minimum. Plus professional designers often get special rates from printers because of all the business they bring in. None of this would be possible if you’d be doing your own design. What’s more likely is that the printers would charge you and arm and leg for all the extra formatting they’d have to do with your material.
Makes sure you stand out
Having a brand is important and no cheap online logo is going to help you with that. A designer is a creative expert who will make sure that your brand stands out among the rest. This is because he will be putting in a lot of creative effort into the execution of your design so that it literally screams YOU. Customers relate most to brands that have a specific personality, and the designer will make sure that your personality is portrayed in your branding.
Consistency is guaranteed
When doing your own design, you’ll notice it is very difficult to remain consistent. Some elements that may be working earlier just don’t seem to fit in anymore. Hiring a designer will ensure that your message, branding and aesthetics remain consistent – always.
