Hire freelance design and creative experts to help you scale

One of the first steps in hiring any talent is to determine which skills you need for your project. You know you need help with design and creative, but what specific things are you trying to do? Upwork matches you with proven remote talent who can help you with all your design and creative needs, including: 

• Logo design
• Product photography
• Social media graphics
• Voice-overs
• Podcast production
• Animation videos

The cost of your project depends largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to complete your project. 

A design and creative services project includes the following: 

• Deliverables: What do you need done? Perhaps you need a professional to develop a style guide or a branded template.
• Skills: Identify the design and creative services talent needed to complete the project (e.g., a designer of banner ads or a photo retoucher).
• Project Length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
• Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for either an hourly rate or fixed-price contract.
