How to find an excellent graphic designer for your project!

The conscientious team at Eagle Design Ltd like to be different when it comes to being a Full Service Creative Agency. Based in the heart of the West Midlands we pride ourselves on the added value that we provide to our loyal clients. We take the time to engage with each individual client, to provide strategic and delivery advice on all aspects of your visual marketing requirements from graphic design to web site design and development.

Generally a job will follow a similar process which is:
1. Talk about the project and the aims you have in mind
2. Agree a price for the project
3. Agree some inital dates for starting the project
4. Agree some deadlines for certain parts of the project to be completed
5. Client to check over project and make any amends/changes
6. hand over the project to the client
7. Agree a date/time for training on how to work the CMS (content Management System) so you can update the site
Here are some questions that are always great to know when your thinking of having a new website:
1. What is the purpose of the site
2. Do you have a domain?
3. How important is Google rankings (ie being at the top of Google)
4. Do you have the web site content?
5. Can you provide some sample sites that you like/your competitions?
6. Do you have a brand guide that we need to follow for your website?
The best part about working on new projects is seeing the end result and how it can help and move the business forward. Being able to achieve that and build up a working/personal relationship with the client is also imperative as we become part of your team rather than just an outside provider.
Ive always liked helping business look great! Why should businesses continue to work under poor branding restraints when sometimes if not always there are simple adjustments that can make a huge difference to the way a company looks.
Here is one testimonial from a client we have worked with for over 20 years:
We have worked with Eagle Design Ltd for several years now and are extremely pleased with the work, support and ability to really understand our business which makes our relationship more of a partnership. We have and would recommend Eagle Design to others.
SLT now consider Eagle Design more of an extension to our business rather than as just a supplier of quality design and print services. Eagle Design delivers a first class service with both the ability to meet our demanding timescales and deliver a service that we are confident will and has produced professional results for our company.
Marketing/Business support Manager at Sandwell Leisure Trust.
We cover the whole of the UK and even have a client in Germany.
With the use of Zoom and Teams its now much easier to communicate with clients without having to leave the office (although face to face is always great to meet people). In these difficult times we know meeting together isn't viable so we use Zooms for all our meetings.
Do I need a Graphic Designer?
Having fantastic visual design can really change how your audience (or customers) view you. In fact, great graphic design goes way past just making things look good. As well as a strong visual impression, brilliant graphic design enables you to amplify your efforts and get your message across in a way that will make people take notice.
Making the correct first impression is vital. With great design principles, you can create an image of your company that stays in the mind of your audiences. Add to this a consistency across all of your materials, and you will quickly be able to build trust in your brand. As well as communicating with your audience visually, you’ll be able to convey your values. Things like having a well-defined logo can be the first step towards perfect brand recognition.
It is well known that we are very visual creatures. Having the right content, designed in the right way, can really encourage your audience to learn more about your business. Being able to express ideas visually can also help to break down complex content that can be difficult to get across with words alone. This combination of benefits allows you to build a great relationship with your audience over time. This can transform into growth for your brand or increased revenue (depending on your goals).
How do I choose and work with a Graphic Designer?
When it comes to choosing your graphic designer, make sure you are clear as possible about what you expect from them. It’s best to write a detailed brief with background, details and timelines on your project. Giving them the relevant background information will attract the best talent possible for your brief.
Make sure to share details about your company, what you wish to achieve and any qualifications you think are necessary for the role. Explain any deadlines and things they may have to work around to make sure their understanding of the job is as comprehensive as possible.
It can also help if you understand a little bit about design yourself. Without going into too much detail, you can research what skills you would need for a particular job. After getting your head around some fundamental concepts, you can ask your candidate some questions to see how they respond.
This could be about past work they’ve done, or it could be about something you are wishing to create from scratch. This will give you a good idea of how they come up with solutions. You may even assign a trial project to complete – as long as this trial is paid for.
Talking to your potential designer on the phone is also useful. This way you can get a great understanding of how you will communicate together and whether you see eye to eye. Be sure to ask your candidate what they will need from you as well. This will help your project to go smoothly and result in the best possible outcome.
How much does a Graphic Designer cost?
The different kinds of graphic design and their complexity will greatly affect how much you can expect to pay. Graphic designers create a huge array of content – from posters and flyers to websites and logos. Some of these graphics are used for film or TV, while others find placement within ads. Graphic designers mix both skill and creativity, while also being able to communicate with clients in an effective manner.
Can I get a Graphic Designer online?
In a word, yes! Graphic design can be carried out remotely, so as long as you're able to discuss the brief with your expert over the phone or via video chat, then you're good to go.
