What a Graphic Designer does

A graphic designer keeps your brand looking sharp everywhere — social, web and collateral — turning briefs into polished assets quickly.

Every StaffingSolutions.io graphic designer is recruited, hired and managed by us — reference-checked for your tools, working your business hours, and backed by our zero-risk promise: no placement fee, money-back first week, and a free replacement if the fit isn't right.

What they handle

  • Social graphics — on-brand sets.
  • Web & landing visuals.
  • Collateral — decks, docs, print.
  • Ad creative — variants for testing.
  • Brand consistency — to your kit.
  • Asset management — organised.
The actual work

A week in the role

Production design, not concept sketching. The week is artwork: a brochure laid out in InDesign, a set of social templates built so anyone can update them, a logo redrawn as vector for a signwriter, and a press PDF checked for bleed before it goes to the printer.

The taskWhat that actually involves
Multi-page collateral in InDesign

Lays out brochures, capability statements, catalogues and annual reports in InDesign using paragraph and character styles on a master page grid, so a late text change does not break every page after it.

Print-ready artwork and preflight

Exports press PDFs to the printer's specification: CMYK, 3mm bleed, crop marks, images at 300ppi, fonts embedded, Pantones named correctly, and a preflight run before anything is sent for quoting.

Vector redraws and logo files

Redraws supplied logos as clean vector in Illustrator and builds the full file set — mono, reversed, horizontal and stacked lockups in EPS, SVG and PNG — for signwriters, embroiderers and web use.

Social template systems

Builds locked Canva or Figma templates carrying the brand's type, colour and grid so the social manager can swap the image and headline without moving anything that is meant to stay fixed.

Photo retouching and cutouts

Retouches product and team photography in Photoshop: colour correction to match the brand palette, clipping paths and cutouts on white for the online store, and removal of distracting background clutter.

Web and landing page mockups

Designs page layouts in Figma at mobile and desktop breakpoints, sets the type scale and spacing, and hands the developer a file with named components, exported assets and stated hex values.

Email template artwork

Builds EDM designs within the constraints of Mailchimp, Klaviyo or HubSpot — modular blocks, web-safe type, images sized for retina, and text kept live rather than baked into one graphic that dark mode wrecks.

Signage and large format

Prepares vehicle wraps, pull-up banners, site signage and expo walls at scale with correct resolution, safe margins for pole pockets and stand fittings, and files supplied in the format the fabricator asked for.

Packaging and label artwork

Sets up label and packaging dieline artwork, places barcodes at readable size, positions mandatory information inside the panel, and supplies a proof for the client and manufacturer to sign off before production.

Brand guideline documents

Produces the guidelines document: logo clear space and minimum size, colour breakdowns in CMYK, RGB, hex and Pantone, type hierarchy, photography direction, and worked examples of correct and incorrect use.

Resizing and asset batching

Adapts an approved concept across every placement required — feed, story, display banner sizes, print ad, in-store poster — keeping the hierarchy readable rather than squeezing one layout into each ratio.

Presentation and document templates

Builds branded PowerPoint, Google Slides and Word templates with working master slides and styles, so proposals and reports come out consistent without the designer being pulled in every time a page is added.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much does a graphic designer cost?
From $14/hr + GST for a full-time, dedicated team member — roughly $29K a year against $95K–$115K all-in for the local equivalent once you add super, leave, payroll tax, software and a desk. No placement fee, no setup fee, no recruitment retainer: you pay from the day they start, for hours worked, and interviewing candidates costs nothing. Specialist roles sit a little higher. Run your numbers →
How fast can they start?
Typically 14 days from your discovery call to day one. In the first week we source and screen against your brief; you get three matched profiles and interview whoever you like. Once you choose, we handle the offer, the contract, equipment and connectivity checks, and induct them on our side before they reach you. Specialist roles — developers, NDIS claims, anything needing niche software — can take a week longer, because we won't pad a shortlist just to hit a date.
What if the fit isn't right?
You're covered twice over. If it's clearly wrong by day five, your first week is refunded in full. After that, a free replacement any time — new shortlist, new interviews, no second fee, because there was never a first one. Before it gets that far, talk to us: our HR manager will work through it with you and the team member, since most problems turn out to be an unclear process rather than the wrong person, and a fortnight of coaching usually fixes it. Replacing someone is the last resort, not the first move.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months, then month to month. It's the same runway you'd give a new local hire to learn your systems, your clients and your standards — and the team members who get a fair run are the ones who stay for years. There are no exit penalties at any point, and if the issue is the person rather than the role, the first-week refund and free replacement cover that separately.
How do you handle confidentiality?
The same way you'd treat any remote team member. Every placement signs an NDA and a confidentiality clause before day one, and they work inside your systems — your email, your CRM, your file storage — so you control what they can see and can revoke access instantly. No client data is stored on our side.
What stays with you, and what goes to them?
They take the recurring, process-driven part of the graphic Designer role — the work that happens the same way every week and eats your day. Judgement calls, client relationships, anything requiring your licence, sign-off or authority stay with you. The clients who get the most out of a graphic Designer hand over a defined process and keep the decisions, rather than handing over the whole function and hoping. On the discovery call we'll map which tasks fall on which side of that line before you commit to anything.
How do I hand the work over without losing weeks to training?
Record yourself doing the task once and talk through it as you go — a fifteen-minute screen recording beats a written manual every time, and your graphic Designer will turn it into a documented process you both work from. Expect the first fortnight to be shadowing and checking, then steadily less. If you have nothing documented, that's normal and it's not a blocker: we'll help you decide what to record first, and your account manager checks in through the whole ramp-up.
