    Branding

    Has anyone had experience of getting some graphic design/ marketing consultancy done?

    Does £60/hr sound reasonable? I was thinking it was one of them jobs where it's easy to blag your way through, thus making the distinction between value for money and waste of time hard to decipher. Anything I should look out for?

    Anyone on here work in the field?

      I'll do it for £59.99/hr. I'm no Picasso though.
      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        I know a couple of people who will can give a more reasonable quote (and they do this for a living!). I've used them both before for branding, exhibition art work etc...

          I used to work in marketing/branding. Pot luck if you get someone good, 95% are crap, 5% are genius.

              And the best 2 people I met with these skills were from Glasgow School of Art, good design is not something you just pick up.

                  I am looking for someone who could design to appeal to the younger-ish market (about 20-35). Quite trendy product packaging design for consumer product - does this sound like something they may be interested in?

                  I have had branding done before (for this or a very similar product), but by a young artist, who did a fantastic job - although took ages. That company had problems and I'm starting from scratch again and my wife has approached a midlands based maketing company where she knows one of the designers.

                  Also need vectorised logos, possibly web graphics, posters/ advertising material, etc.

                    I've seen your picture and I'd say you certainly could be a picasso.
