Graphic Designers

A graphic designer turns ideas into visual systems and assets - logos and identity, layout and editorial, packaging, signage and digital graphics. The designers ranked here are mostly generalists; some specialise in a discipline such as packaging, editorial, type or motion-adjacent design. Most work across both print and screen.

How to choose

Pick on craft and consistency.

Judge on craft and consistency. Look for portfolio work close to your discipline (identity, editorial, packaging or digital), strong typographic detail, and a consistent standard across many projects rather than one hero piece. Confirm their tools (Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma) and whether they are comfortable preparing print-ready artwork as well as digital deliverables.

Frequently asked questions

01What does a graphic designer do?

A graphic designer creates visual communication: brand identity and logos, layouts for print and editorial, packaging, signage, advertising assets and digital graphics. They combine typography, image, colour and layout to make a message clear and distinctive across formats.

02What is the difference between a graphic designer and a web or UI designer?

Graphic designers work across print and digital with a focus on visual systems and layout; web and UI designers focus specifically on screen interfaces, interaction and responsive design. Many graphic designers also do digital work - check the portfolio for the kind of output you need.

03How much does it cost to hire a freelance graphic designer?

Day rates commonly run £200 to £450 depending on experience, specialism and location, with senior brand and packaging designers higher. Defined pieces such as a logo or a brochure are often quoted as a fixed project price rather than by the day.

04What should I look for in a graphic design portfolio?

Relevance to your discipline first, then craft: confident typography, clean layout, considered use of colour and image, and consistency across projects. Look for a few well-explained case studies over a long grid of unrelated thumbnails.
