		<description><![CDATA[Thinking about hiring a freelance graphic designer? This article will help you decide what is the best approach to get quality freelance graphic design material for a great price and on deadline.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;re looking for a new logo, business card or some form of promotional material. AND, you want it all for a good price that won&#8217;t blow the bank. Often a good place to look is for <strong>freelance graphic design</strong>.</p>
<h3>Why use a Freelance Graphic Designer?</h3>
<p>There are a lot of brilliant <strong>freelance designers</strong> that can create professional branding ontime and onbudget everytime. These designers are often extremely talented but have decided to pursue a freelance career for more creative control, to explore further avenues for expressing themselves, or to have a more one on one relationship with their clients.</p>
<p>There are also a lot of shockingly unprofessional freelancers. The type that promise great quality graphic design in unrealistic timeframes, and rarely deliver a professional result.</p>
<p>When searching for a freelance graphic designer we suggest:</p>
<ul>
<li class="pink">Check their clients, even call or email some of them to find out how well the freelancer worked on the project,</li>
<li class="green"><strong>Ensure the work is their own</strong>, and not work done or influenced by the creative lead at their day job,</li>
<li class="blue">Get set prices and set deadlines from the outset to avoid frustration,</li>
<li class="red">Do an ABN check (if an Australian freelance graphic designer) so you know who you&#8217;re dealing with.</li>
<li class="orange">Confirm with them that they will be around in 6 months when you need to print new cards or create new material</li>
<li class="pink">Ask if you own the copyright to the source files including your logo (this is often a grey area)</li>
</ul>
<h3>What are alternatives to Freelance Graphic Design?</h3>
<p><strong>You guessed it.</strong> Graphic design from a company such as ours, Mooty Graphic Design. As a registered Australian company you can be secure in the knowledge we will always provide professional branding at a very reasonable price.</p>
