DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL?

It’s too expensive!
—
It takes to long, I need
a new logo now.
—
My boss doesn’t think it’s
worth the investment.
It makes sense. We get it. Here are
some of our pro’s & con’s. Hope
they will help you decide what to
do for your next project.

3. Yes, it might be expensive
— it depends on your frame of
reference, the scope of the
project, the designer’s level of
experience and on the budget.
In the end, it is an investment
which requires effort & skill
and it does take time.
All this means money.

4. Most design professionals
have a design degree and
years of experience solving
problems for clients — this
means a designer will get to
the solution faster, and
better than a non-designer.

Skill and talent are two very
important abilities that are
necessary to achieve a great
result that is unique and on brief.
A trained design professional
knows the creative process and
how to go about creating the
best solution for the client.

It is a risk. You make a financial
investment into something
which is kind of intangible. It
might feel risky when you don’t
know 100% what you get.
However, the design portfolio
should be a good indicator
for whether it is worth the
investment or not. Do your
research and choose wisely.

It does take time to involve a
design professional into a
project – a skilled designer will
go deep to fully understand the
problem, before attempting to
create a solution.
With a few exceptions, great
ideas don’t come fast. And
they take time to craft.

A client is usually focussed on
the details of a project, and
knows the company politics
too well.
A skilled design professional can
go in with fresh eyes and see
the bigger picture while at the
same time master the details.
