Come assumere un/a Graphic Designer
Graphic designers shape how your brand is perceived at every visual touchpoint. The best designers combine aesthetic talent with strategic thinking — understanding that design exists to communicate clearly, not just to look beautiful. This guide covers what to look for beyond the portfolio.
Cosa cercare
- A portfolio that shows diverse work: branding, digital, print, and motion if relevant
- Understanding of design principles: typography, color theory, hierarchy, and composition
- Brand thinking: ability to create cohesive visual systems, not just isolated pieces
- Tool proficiency: Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and Figma
- Communication and collaboration: designers must take and give feedback constructively
- Adaptability: ability to work within brand guidelines and also innovate within them
Il processo di assunzione
- 1
Portfolio review
Review for breadth, quality, and process documentation. Ask which pieces they're proudest of and why.
- 2
Design brief exercise
Give a real or realistic design brief with constraints. Evaluate their process: how do they approach the problem before opening a tool?
- 3
Portfolio deep dive interview
Pick one project and go deep: creative decisions, client or stakeholder feedback, revisions, and what they'd change.
- 4
Cultural fit and process interview
How do they handle ambiguous briefs, fast turnarounds, and creative disagreements with stakeholders?
Consigli per il colloquio
- Ask 'Show me a piece that was rejected or heavily revised — what did you learn?'
- Ask how they interpret a vague or conflicting brief
- Probe on feedback handling: 'A stakeholder says they don't like it but can't explain why — what do you do?'
- Ask about their process for maintaining brand consistency across many deliverables
Segnali d'allarme
- Portfolio is all polished renders with no process, rationale, or constraints shown
- Defensive about design decisions — good designers welcome critique
- No evidence of working within a visual system or brand guidelines
- Limited to one medium (e.g., only illustration) for a generalist role
- Can't explain why specific design choices were made
