What this service is for

What a graphic designer can actually deliver

Brief campaign graphics, reports and decks, or everyday collateral. If you also need a new mark, start with logo design. Sites sit with web design. Channel content can sit with social media marketing.

Campaign graphics

Ads, launch visuals, and social assets that stay on-brand across the channels you already use.

Reports and decks

Proposals, board packs, and presentations that make the numbers and story easier to follow.

Everyday collateral

Stationery, one-pagers, signage, and the files your team reuses week to week.

Ideas for your brief

Ways to brief a graphic designer.

Keep the brief short: the outcome, where it will appear, the brand files you already have, and the date you need it.

  • Campaign visual direction
  • Social and digital display assets
  • Email or website graphics
  • Print-ready promotional material
02

Reports, proposals, and presentations

A clearer layout for a report, proposal, or presentation so people can follow it. Say who reads it and how it will be shared.

  • Document layout and hierarchy
  • Charts, diagrams, or infographics
  • Presentation templates
  • Accessible PDF or print-ready files
03

Everyday brand collateral

Practical templates and one-off assets your team can keep using. List the formats you need first.

Pricing guidance

How much does graphic design cost?

Costs vary with the number of concepts, formats, stakeholders, and revision rounds involved. A focused asset is different from an ongoing design system.

Focused design task

For a small set of polished assets such as a flyer, social campaign, presentation refresh, or simple document layout.

NZ$400–$1,200

Campaign or collateral suite

For a coordinated group of marketing or business materials across several formats, with an agreed number of revisions.

NZ$1,200–$3,500

Large information or brand rollout

For a substantial report, multi-channel campaign, packaging range, or rollout requiring more planning and production support.

NZ$3,500–$8,000+

What affects the price

  • How developed your existing brand and source material are
  • Number of formats, pages, or asset variations
  • Illustration, photography, or specialist production needed
  • Feedback process and number of decision-makers

Indicative New Zealand dollar estimates only, excluding GST and third-party production costs. Freelancers set their own pricing after reviewing your scope.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions before you hire.

Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.

Still deciding what you need?

Start with the outcome and the context you already have. A polished specification is not required.

What should I include in a graphic design brief?

Say the business goal, where the work will appear, the brand files you already have, any copy or images that are ready, and the date you need it. Write one brief and compare applicants.

Should I hire an Auckland designer or brief nationally?

Brief nationally if you want a wider shortlist. You can still choose someone in Auckland. If you want Auckland first, see Auckland graphic designers.

Do I need logo design or graphic design?

A new mark, wordmark, or identity system sits with logo design. Campaign graphics, reports, and everyday materials sit here. If you need both, say so in the brief.
