What are Graphic Artists?

Graphic artists create art and layouts by arranging images and text to communicate a message in print and electronic media such as magazines, newspapers, books and websites, as well as for corporate branding, exhibitions and advertising purposes. Today's graphic artist must have a good sense of composition. They must also have skills to manipulate photographs and images and look for creative ways to make their work more inspiring and interesting to their readers or viewers.

It has to be understood that a graphic designers do not have their own style. They are limited with the requirements of production and that will always restrict their artistic expression. Their job is to provide the idea that would fit their client’s view of their company and organizational goals are.


How much does a Graphic Artist Cost?

There is a very wide range of fees charged by various graphic artists. Full corporate communications packages can run into the hundreds of thousands of pesos. Smaller firms, especially independent freelance graphic artists like me - hint, hint, will charge considerably less. If you get rid of middlemen, charges become more reasonable too. That same website package can be had for a few hundred pesos. The fact is, there is a huge range or prices available and there are very talented artists available to fit every budget.

How to work with a Graphic Artist

Here is a piece of information for you from the graphic artist's side. Most of them, especially the freelance ones (me included!), are terrified of never ending changes. These are little updates that quickly add up to a lot of time being wasted and usually a worse design than what you started with. While you may think your getting a better deal and more work out of the artist, what really happens is both of you end up with a relationship that is breaking down and costs that are piling up!

The best way to avoid this is to get the graphic artist a better understanding of your vision and develop rough designs or sketches for approval. Once the client approves the idea, a designer prepares layouts of the sketches by using modern techniques like photography, illustration and computer-generated imagery. The layouts, once approved by the client, are printed and then set up for exhibits or for advertising purposes.
