I once spent several months trying to design my own logo before asking a professional graphic designer. She threw a sample together in a matter of minutes that was everything I’d wanted. She made it look so easy!!!
I could have spent another 6 months changing my image repeatedly, and still would not have created anything close to what she “whipped together”. The lesson learned is not that hard to figure out. Professionals know their art.
The difference between the time it would take me to get it right (if, that was even possible) and the time it took her is actually several things. Training, skill, and experience may be part of it… but the underlying difference is interest, passion, and raw talent.
There’s something else I’ve learned about graphic designers over the years. We go together, like peanut butter and bananas (or jelly, if you prefer) because I tend to hear the same thing from every graphic artist I work with…
“Thank God! I hate doing that!”
You see… I enjoy writing. I work my magic with words, and it might never be as appealing visually as what you do with circles and triangles, but it is still just as important. The graphic design of an advertisement, brochure, or website works wonders to grab attention… and content seals the deal.
With that being said, it’s not uncommon for graphic designers to also assume the job of proofreading and editing content, or to generate their own. Many types of projects for graphic artists also involve content, and the concept of a professional copywriter is still foreign to most small businesses who just want a brochure published. That’s why I offer a variety of solutions for graphic designers… so you can focus on where your own skills and talents lie, without the headache of dealing with the text portion of your product.
Working with a professional copywriter to manage the content portion will significantly increase the ROI of your project.
If saving yourself the stress isn’t enough, consider the quality of the end product. My skills, experience, training, interest, and passion is in the one thing that often drives graphic designers crazy… so let’s work together!
