What this service is for
What can a graphic designer help you create?
Bring a clear brief, an existing brand, or simply a business problem. A designer can turn it into visual material that is useful, recognisable, and ready to use.
Make marketing easier to recognise
Create campaign graphics, social assets, brochures, and sales material that feel consistent wherever your business shows up.
Explain complex information clearly
Use considered layouts, diagrams, reports, and presentation material to make important information easier to understand.
Prepare assets for the real world
Get files adapted for the web, print, events, packaging, or internal use instead of trying to make one format do every job.

Katharine HallPricing 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?
Share the business goal, audience, where the work will appear, your existing brand material, any required copy or images, and the date you need it by.
Can a freelancer work with our existing brand?
Yes. Include your logo files, brand guide, past material, and any rules the work needs to follow so the freelancer can assess the starting point.
Do I need to provide the copy and images?
Usually, yes, unless you also need content, photography, or illustration support. Explain what is ready and what still needs to be created in your brief.
How long does graphic design take?
A focused asset can be completed in days or a few weeks. A campaign, report, or multi-format rollout usually takes longer because it needs more content, feedback, and production coordination.
How do I choose the right graphic designer?
Compare relevant work, the proposed approach, experience with your formats, timing, and pricing before requesting a warm introduction.
