What this service is for
What can an infographic designer help you build?
Infographic designers turn numbers, processes and research into clear visuals — one-page explainers, report graphics, social assets and stakeholder briefings that make information quicker to understand and share.
Clarify annual reports and impact data
Convert financials, KPIs and impact metrics into clear charts and one-page visuals that make results accessible to stakeholders.
Boost campaign and social engagement
Create shareable social-first infographics that communicate a single idea visually and increase message reach.
Explain processes, policy or research
Turn complex workflows, timelines or research findings into step-by-step diagrams or illustrated summaries for non‑specialist audiences.

Rob ChapmanPricing guidance
How much does infographic design cost?
Prices vary with data complexity, illustration level and the number of graphics. The ranges below are indicative NZD ballparks to help you set a budget before you request quotes.
Starter: single social or one‑page explainer
One clear social graphic or a simple one‑page explainer based on supplied copy and basic data.
NZ$300–1,200
Standard: multi‑asset campaign or report section
Several assets or a suite of infographics for a report section, including custom icons and source files.
NZ$1,200–4,000
Comprehensive: full report or publication visuals
End‑to‑end infographic work for a full report or publication, including complex illustrations, multiple pages and data visualisation.
NZ$4,000–12,000+
What affects the price
- Data complexity and cleaning (raw datasets require more time)
- Number of graphics or report pages to design
- Level of custom illustration versus utilising existing icon sets
- Timeline (rush delivery increases cost) and accessibility or print requirements
Estimates are indicative and may exclude GST and ongoing software or platform fees. Final scope and freelancer rates are agreed directly with the freelancer — request a tailored quote when you publish your brief.
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.
How do I get started?
Create a brief describing your audience, data and outcomes. Freelancers apply, you review applications, and Unicorn Factory makes warm introductions so you can discuss scope and price.
How long will a project take?
Timing depends on complexity — a single social asset can be a few days; report‑level work commonly takes 2–6 weeks. Agree a timeline with shortlisted freelancers when you review applications.
What do I need to provide?
Provide source data (CSV/Excel), branding assets (logos, colours), the target audience and any mandatory messages — freelancers can help clean and structure data where needed.
Can freelancers handle sensitive or technical data?
Many designers work with technical or policy content, but confirm relevant experience in applications. Discuss data handling, confidentiality and approvals directly with the freelancer.
How do I know a freelancer is a good fit?
Review portfolio examples and ask for similar work. After you publish a brief, relevant freelancers will apply; you review their profiles and then get warm introductions from Unicorn Factory to start conversations.
