How do I find a professional graphic designer?

You can find a graphic designer by search, referral, online portfolios, freelance marketplaces, or you can come to us!
Buying graphic design online comes with limitations – are the reviews genuine? Is the designer’s ability high end or cheap and cheesy? How original is the work? No one wants a logo that is similar to someone else. How many changes do you get to make to the design before you incur additional charges? There’s no guarantee of a result you’ll love. At our graphic design agency, I’ve personally selected our graphic designer from dozens of CV’s based on his style, portfolio, willingness to take on board feedback, and understanding of design principles (it has to work, not just look pretty). You get a chance to choose some directions from a shortlist before we start, and to vet the early drafts before the design is cemented in stone. Result? Satisfaction guaranteed.

GRAPHIC DESIGN COMPANY

About Alexanders

With a commitment to sleek, professional design, we invite you to visit our studio to see examples of our past successes across a variety of industries.

Is it worth it to hire a graphic designer?

Hiring a graphic designer can be worth it as they bring professional expertise, unique perspectives, and efficient processes to create high-quality designs that effectively communicate your brand message.

While Canva is a popular online design tool that is user-friendly and affordable, it may not provide the same level of expertise, originality and customization as a professional designer.

An independent graphic designer may have a lower cost compared to a design agency but doesn’t usually have the same resources and skilled team to handle complex projects.

Graphic designers are not all created equal.

No one should have to put up with amateur design mistakes such as a logo is illegible when sized for social media or writing that’s too small to read on your slogan.

Why take the chance of poor strategic direction due to inexperience?

Don’t settle for ineffective targeting due to a lack of audience insights or inconsistent branding and messaging.

At Alexanders, we have a team including art director, graphic designers and writers with a range of experience to provide a more comprehensive solution for branding and design solutions.

Reviews

Alexanders were engaged because they tailored their approach to accommodate our needs in our rebrand, redesigning the website and activating social media capabilities. They bent over backwards to deliver under considerable time pressure, made more complicated because both suppliers and tradeshows were located overseas. Because of Alexanders market research, they have been instrumental in helping us to become a more market-oriented organisation and we look forward to completing our transformation with them. 1

We are absolutely thrilled with the design that Alexander came up with for the theme and cover for Meeting & Incentive Planner and the supporting advertising campaign.
We’ve had hugely positive feedback from our clients industry and our Business Partners, who appreciate it’s fresh design that transcends the average tourism approach using shots of trams and punts. We are especially delighted to see how It stands out well from competitor destination advertising.

Please accept my congratulations to you and whoever else was involved with you in the Abacus publicity and marketing campaign. I like the logo and its cleanliness and in fact the way it conveys a conservative professionalism.
I am also really impressed with the ‘get properly covered’ brochure and the manner in which it was delivered.
