Graphic Designer - Peeblesshire

Graphic Designer

Every logo, every brochure layout and every “click here” button is the work of a graphic designer. It’s probably true to say that if a graphic designer has done a good job, the viewer hardly recognises that they are looking at their work – but if the design is bad, they are the first person to blame. That’s why a qualified graphic designer is so crucial to any organisation that is aiming to communicate and turn browsers into customers.

Graphic design is often compared to art, but in reality it’s an exercise in problem solving. There’s a goal and an available space, and it’s the graphic designer’s job to utilise imagery, colour and words that make the user perform an action. In this respect it’s psychological, and the knowledge of how people react to all sorts of visual cues is what makes the graphic designer an expert in their trade.

So next time you effortlessly browse through a website or admire a poster, just remember that it’s all because a graphic designer has skillfully put it together to make your journey easier

The skills required

Graphic design recruitment focuses on two elements: the education and the portfolio. Many businesses want to work with fully trained graphic designers who have a degree in the subject, or something similar such as illustration or art and design. That assures them that you understand the human element of the discipline as well as the technical requirements

You’ll need a strong portfolio of your work. That should include as much recent work as possible, and it should preferably also include details of the brief you were given and the turnaround times you delivered, as an end product often doesn’t tell the whole story.

Graphic Designer Jobs in Peeblesshire

Historically, Peeblesshire was a county in southern Scotland, surrounded by Midlothian, Selkirkshire, Dumfriesshire and Lanarkshire. Its county town was Peebles. The county is now absorbed into the Scottish Borders county area, but its locals will often still identify themselves as inhabitants of Peeblesshire. Peebles itself has a population of around 10,000 and is surrounded by the rolling hills of southern Scotland. Peeblesshire was generally an agricultural county.

Peebles, and the county area, are linked to Edinburgh and Glasgow by the A703 and A72 respectively, and A-roads head south to Carlisle and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. With no major concentrations of population in the Peeblesshire area, Graphic Designer jobs could be hard to find because of the lack of major infrastructure; however, whenever there are needs to be met and goods to deliver, and agriculture certainly has both qualifications, jobs in supply chain, logistics and procurement often follow.
