With every amazing custom box and packaging comes a great design, and with every great design comes a creative designer-genius. Finding the perfect designer is more than just posting a job listing online because ideally, you’d want to find a designer that can enhance your brand and its personality. Here’s how to find the perfect artist to design a custom box for you.

First, Figure Out What You Want and Need

Before seeking out a designer, it’s best to discern what you want and need from them. Take some time to brainstorm things about your brand and how your designer can help enhance your brand and carry out your vision. Some questions you may want to think about are; “Who is your target audience/market?”, “What are the goals and purpose of the design?”, “What are your competitors doing and how can you spin it in a way to grow yourself?”, and “What’s your deadline?”

These are all critical questions that your designer will need to know to make your perfect design, and will help you narrow down the list of ideal designers. For example, if your target audience is college-aged students and young adults, a designer who is old enough to be their parents may not have the right creative aesthetics that will properly reach your target. It’d be best to find a younger designer who may also fit this category or a designer who has a lot of experience with designing for this target age group.

Second, Find Your Designer

Now that you know what you want and need from your designer, it’s time to find the best one. This part will be a little difficult because there are countless talented designers in the world. When you look for your designer, make sure you are looking for them on trusted sites and agencies, as you need to be confident and comfortable in their ability to create your vision.

Many outsourced designers can be found through design agencies such as Behance, Dribble, crowdsourcing websites, or through freelancers. Design freelancers can be found on websites like UpWork, Crew, or Fiverr. The best recommendation to narrowing down your list of potential artists is to look at their portfolios and see if it matches your brand and what you want.
