2. Look for their portfolios in their profiles and
start checking out their work.
3. Close the tab the second you feel their work
doesn’t speak to you.
4. 90% of the designers would have their
portfolio on one of these sites:
Behance, Dribbble, Coroflot
and Carbonmade.
Budgeting
Go to sites like Freelancer, Elance, Odesk,
3Desk and check out bids.
Hike it up a bit as these are the average
rates.
Better and more exclusive designers will
charge more.
Ask the freelancer directly ?
But this will take some emails, proposals etc.
Hence a lot of time!!
Take an informed guess ?
Good enough!
We’ll read up some stuff on HackerNews, and
try out a calculator to get an idea of how much
we’d be shelling.
