Your image as a shop?

As a graphic designer what grabs my attention is simple NOT over the top design/s .
I know A LOT of people always say I don’t have the money to hire a graphic designer.
You do only you don’t want to get out of your “ comfy” zone ? am I right .

I have matured with my designs over the years my latest work at Missevilkitty.com
Has to be the best I done this year or the past six years I been online as a tiny shop.
My image right now is simple , vintage inspired and young . Am a young designer am 24 so my “branding image” grabs your attention it looks like i paid good money to get my look. but in reality it took me 30 mins to 1-2 hours to get my look!


Gabbie how do I find a graphic designer I “ can” afford ?

Etsy has TONS of designers go to etsy.com and then:
Home > Buy > Categories > everything else > graphic design

On the left you well see:

avatar,banner,business cards,logo design,web design

If you need a template look for

Say : business card template .
A lot of shops sell premade packages some vary in prices like $12-60
, Most shops well let you add more items for a small fee make sure to shop around.



Gabbie what should I check for when am graphic designer shopping?

1. is the design style they offer like yours ?
2. feedback and sales how long have then been on etsy?
3. do I get the copyright of the design once I buy it ?
4. do they offer printed items like business cards , labels and such?
5. customer service ! send them a convo and see how long they take to get back to you.


Other tips:

Some shops wont re design a design they sold in the past for you so when you convo to request a design make sure to be clear as to what you want .( I had more then 10 customers ask me that )

Read shop policies, check to see what kind of payment they accept, how long the turnaround ..


Most places are 1-2 days
