Hiring A Designer

It’s easy to spot a beautiful portfolio. Designers know that looks sell, and many people sell themselves that way.

Of course, the ability to make something that looks good matters, especially for visual designers.

But the challenge is that great images say nothing about what it will be like to work with someone, or whether they’ll be consistently able to produce good work.

Did they build it themselves? Yeah, building it yourself gets you more credibility, but only if it’s well-designed. An interaction designer might suffer here by putting their lackluster visual chops to work, though there’s more room for building thoughtful interactions. Portfolio sites — CargoCollective, Behance, any number of WordPress templates — tend to only emphasize images, and even a visual designer should have a good story to tell."
