Why Hire a Graphic Designer?
Why is Graphic Design so Important?
Suppose your company would like to announce or sell something, or persuade your clients, or just need a way to identify yourself and your company. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate. How do you tell your story? You could shout your message from the roof tops or join business associations to network your product, this would be considered verbal communication. But if you use any visual media at all—if you print a postcard, type an email, mail a letter, create a company logo, create a poster, create a business card, an advertisement for a magazine or newspaper, —you are using visual communication called graphic design.
Graphic design is a part of your daily life. From humble things like business cards or cereal boxes, to huge things like banners or billboards, to the postcards you receive in the mail, you’re seeing and touching graphic design everyday. A good design persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides gratification.
Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas. The designer works with a variety of tools in order to communicate your message from your business to your client. Think of it this way, the graphic designer is a translator, able to translate your product or ideas into text and imagery. Typography, layout, and color choice are more than just graphic design elements. They are the tools that a designer uses to promote a business's brand.
Good graphic design also gives a business credibility - something that many small businesses need. A good design invokes trust and confidence. It is a designer's role to create a trustworthy image. Think about your experiences in the past, you've probably hesitated to buy new product or service because of its appearance at one time or another. Poor graphic design can look careless, and can make you wonder if the company is just as careless about quality of product, or service.
The best graphic design is one that no one realizes is there. Many major brands and companies have carefully designed branding, advertisements, logos and websites, but most of us never notice it at all. It is so much part of our daily life, you feel comfortable around these brands, logos and images. This can make business owners forget how important a graphic designer is, but they shouldn't. Good graphic design can make or break a business.
A graphic designer works as a facilitator, creating designs that help the user accomplish a task. This could be anything from finding information to recognizing a brand. This is why web pages, logos, and print ads with poor graphic design aren't as effective as well designed ones -- they don't help the viewer get things done. Sometimes, they even get in the way.
Of course, all of these things may be obvious, but how does your design stand out from the other companies? If you hire good designer, there are many benefits of having a design for your business. You will be making your company look big, creditable, you will stand out from the competition, you will be more effective and on the tops of people's minds. you will be memorable. Therefore, you should always put thought not only into the design you choose, but also your designer.
