Look for comparable decisions

Ask to see work that solved a problem like yours, not simply work that looks attractive. A strong designer can explain the audience, constraints and choices behind a finished identity or campaign.

Share the real brief

Provide the business context, decision-makers, timeline and budget range early. Good candidates can then respond with a useful approach, and both sides can decide whether the assignment is a genuine fit.
