Want guaranteed freedom and variety? Then perhaps freelancing is for you.


Growing demand for the freelance graphic designer

Some professions have managed to find comfort despite the recession, and demand has never been higher for the freelance graphic designer.

The recession sweetened chocolate sales for confectionery giant, Cadbury PLC, almost tripling net profit in the first half of 2009, as people turned to chocolate during the recession. Not exactly surprising. As expected, debt management agencies and sell-your-house-for-cash companies have witnessed a sweet return during the bitter downturn. The freelance graphic designer has also been able to find comfort in the credit crunch, as more and more companies outsource their services as and when it's needed.

As the market shifts to accommodate freelance creatives, design agencies would be foolish not to incorporate off-site services for clients who need to effectively 'borrow' talent for a couple of days.

Need a freelance graphic designer?
Most companies have had to turn to outsourcing for one thing or another. Not only does it provide you with a cost-effective on-demand service, but it saves a lot of time. Like freelancers in any industry, a freelance graphic designer is trained, qualified and usually has a world of experience behind them. You could quite easily compare it to a product that is fully equipped, fully vetted, tried and tested (always look at his/her portfolio), pretty much self-servicing, packaged and requires little maintenance. Sure, you may have to give up a few cups of coffee here and there, but you only pay for the time that you use. No salaries, no holiday days and no sickness or absence. Freelancing is all about efficiency.
