What we are shouting about!
Freelance Design Services
Firstly I would like to say Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you all had a nice Christmas break.
I would also like to apologise for not updating this recently, I have been working a lot with other design agencies on projects that they needed to finish quickly and efficiently, and needed my help with. I have enjoyed my time with them and have learnt a lot.
I am now back to normal (for now) and am looking forward to starting some exciting projects in 2011. I already know of a couple of good ones coming our way so should be a good start to the year.
Freelancing again has made me realise how much I like working with and meeting new people, learning new skills and generally finishing massive projects with the help of a good team.
Of course the reason we all work is so we can afford shelter and food to live, but there are other important factors too. I’m a strong believer in enjoying what you do for a living and I really do! I couldn’t do anything else. This is one of the benefits of freelancing from my point of view, so I wanted to put together a list of benefits from an employers point of view.
No Commitment
Freelancers tend to work on short term contracts, this can be anything from an hour to a year depending on the project so there is absolutely no commitment, you use them for the period of the job, charge this onto the client and make a profit.
Right Person for the Job
As this is generally for one particular projest you can choose your freelancer based on their skill-set and cost (if budget is an issue). They will do the best possible job for you, at a cost that you have already budgeted for.
Benefit of Experience
As a freelancer it is highly likely that the designer has worked in a multitude of studios, gaining experience from each and every person they have worked with, this would allow them to soak up the best practices from each of the studios bringing you the very best of their experience.
Fresh Eyes
The designer will often lend a new perspective to a job or project or multiple projects, this can prevent a brand’s styling from getting tired and looking dated.
A New Dimension
Often studios and offices can get stuck in a routine, and the daily grind can be less than inspiring, introducing someone new into the dynamic can often inspire other members of the team into more creative thinking and seeing things in a new light. This can bring a fresh approach to their latest projects.
