Frequently asked questions
What criteria should I look for when looking for a graphic designer in Istanbul?
Compare portfolio examples that are similar to your work, scope of file delivery, and communication style with the designer. Being in Istanbul may provide an advantage in face-to-face coordination; It is not an indicator of quality on its own. As Selçuk Aker, I present my branding, printing and interface works in the same portfolio; It is more meaningful to examine the section that suits your needs.
How do I choose between a graphic designer and UI/UX designer?
Graphic design production for catalogue, packaging or campaign visuals; Look for UI/UX experience for interactive processes such as registration, payment or product usage. Two fields can combine in the same project. For example, in an e-commerce brand, product images and the purchasing flow are separate deliveries; Check if the offer includes both.
Is it appropriate to work with an independent designer instead of an agency?
It may be appropriate to work directly with an independent designer on projects with a clear scope and clear decision-making mechanism. In jobs that require a lot of simultaneous expertise or continuous operations, team capacity should also be evaluated. When working with me, you discuss design decisions and deliverables directly; Those responsible for other disciplines are determined at the beginning of the project.
How should I evaluate the design portfolio?
In an example similar to your project, ask which part the designer is responsible for. Flow between screens in the mobile project; reading product information in the catalogue; Look for batch consistency on packaging. A stylish cover alone won't show off the whole work. A more solid comparison is to examine the detail pages and, if possible, the scope of delivery together.
What do customer reviews of a designer indicate?
Comments provide insight into the communication, revision management, and collaboration experience. Also check the service and source of the comment; Satisfaction with one interface project does not guarantee the same result in a different job. When evaluating working with me, you can read the opinions together with the portfolio and your own project scope.
Hire or outsource regular design needs?
Your volume of needs, your in-house coordination and your expectation of continuity are decisive. Outsourcing design support may be considered for campaign periods or certain monthly deliveries. Consider separately those tasks that require full-time presence. Demand priority, delivery capacity and additional work conditions should be determined in writing in the monthly study.
