78 Freelance Graphics Designer Questions And Answers

41⟩ Ask about the designer's work schedule?

Proper design projects will require a lot of back and forth between you and the designer you hire. You'll want to see the progress at specific check points (sketch, mockup, rendering, etc.). Be sure that you understand when the designer is and is not working, so that you don't become frustrated by a designer who is never available to talk when you are.

42⟩ Show the designer some samples of things you like?

Graphic designers are not mind readers. Show each person you interview a few links to concepts or layouts that are similar to what you are looking for. Be sure to get a feel for whether or not they can deliver what you want. (By the way, you should probably pass on any interviewee who criticizes the type of artwork you want.)

47⟩ What do you want to accomplish on this position?

Most people do not have any goals in their job. They simply go to work, do what is expected of them (and nothing more) and wait for the paycheck at the end of the month… However, you will have to present different attitudes and expectations in an interview, if you want to succeed.

Recruiters want to hear that you want to help them to prosper, that you strive to deliver an added value every day and want to make a difference in your daily job.

50⟩ Where do you see yourself in five years time?

If we talk about career growth, graphic designers should not be too ambitious. One can potentially become a consultant, or a graphic director of a company. But as you can imagine, this is not an easy path and in most of the cases, one simply has the same job for many years, job of a designer.

Therefor, if they inquire about your future plans, you should do the following:

► Focus on achievements, not promotion. Say that you would love to be recognized for your work on successful campaigns in five years time. Say that you would love to have the same job and an impressive track record as a designer.

► Connect your future with the company. If a company hires a good designer, they want to keep him for a long time. Therefor you should always say you would love to be with them and progress. We live in an era without real loyalty. Show them that you are different and succeed in your interview.

51⟩ What do you do when a client wants a reverse ad?

Explain that reverse type is harder to read in large quantities. I would suggest that the copy be kept to a minimum of under several paragraphs and that a heaver than normal, sans serif font be used for all type below 14 pt. And avoid thin script styles at any size.

54⟩ What's the difference between rich black and auto black?

Rich black includes a mix of hues in addition to 100K. Auto black may be either 100K or rich, depending on the software's default settings. It's always important to check out what that is. I prefer to always work on a screen with the settings displaying the actual black.

55⟩ What are your core areas of UI design expertise?

Any UI designer who has worked long enough on various, unique projects, will have developed areas of expertise, or at least, preferences.

The designer's answers should revolve around preferred client types or around certain type of platforms: Designing websites, mobile apps, backend dashboards, for instance. Professional UI designers would also cover the journey itself, describing how they arrived at these areas of expertise and experience.
