My ocassional co-blogger and OfficeDrop’s CEO has a good post on Small Business Trends with some tips on working with outsourced designers. Like many startups, we can not afford a full time designer, so make extensive use of outsourced designers to help us with everything from logo design to site design to button design. It is working well for us, and Prasad shares a number of good tips in his “5 tips for working with outsourced designers” article.

The key thing is to be specific. You must be clear about what you expect the deliverables to be. Also, take the time to get to know a VA. Build the relationship whilst giving them more work and more responisibility.

Yes, this is a very good point. And as you get to know the designer better – and as they begin to figure YOU out too – you may be able to give less direction.
