Ask HN: Where to find web 2.0 graphic designers?

2 pointsby allanchaoabout 14 years ago
Hi HN, I know most people here are programmers, and also sorry to use the term web 2.0 if that offends anyone. I've been having a hard time finding a part time graphic designer who can design clean, stylish stuff. Most of the portfolios that I get back from sites like craigslist are very old school, they look like they're from templates. Here's a random example of one I consider to be pretty good: http://www.zennaware.com/cornerstone/index.php<p>Can anyone recommend a place to find good graphic designers? Someone suggested that I use 99 designs or another crowdsource site <i>to find someone I can work with</i>, and then hire them part time. Thanks<p>Also if there is a better way to phrase it than "web 2.0 graphic design", please let me know. Thanks

Better to just hire someone to do the design mockup and then find a UI Developers - aka someone who can translate the psd's/mocks into actual css3/html5 and javascript and/or js framework code preferred (or code it yourself).<p>While it's not impossible to find someone that does it all, I've found it's easier to outsource the design and code it myself.<p>I personally don't have anything against 'web 2.0' - I assume this means html5 + css3 skillset at a minimum.
