Hire the best Vector Illustration professionals

Vector illustration specialists create logos, icons, and graphics that can scale to any size. So how do you hire vector illustration specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top vector illustration specialists on Upwork.

As you’re browsing available vector illustration consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

• Aesthetic fit. You want a vector illustration specialist who understands the art direction you wish to pursue with your brand. 
• Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., editing photographs in Adobe Photoshop before using them to create vector graphics in Illustrator).
• Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular vector illustration specialist.

With a clear picture of your ideal vector illustration specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for an independent professional to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective vector illustration job post should include: 

• Scope of work: From logo design to desktop publishing, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
• Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
• Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or graphic design tools, mention this here. 
• Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
