Choose the Offshore Graphic Design Support Level Your Brand Needs

Choose a mid-level or senior graphic designer, portfolio-screened and tested on the tools UK brands use every day. See what each designer can own, the software they work in, and the design standards they are expected to meet.

▣ Role Overview

Mid-Level Graphic Designer

Give a mid-level graphic designer a campaign and they take it from brief to finished creative. They design brochures, packaging and print-ready artwork, develop original concepts rather than just executing templates, and keep your brand consistent across every channel.

This is the level most UK brands settle on: a designer who needs a brief, not a template to fill in.

▦ Responsibilities
1

Campaign creative

Designs full campaign creative across social, email and display from a brief.

2

Brochure & print design

Produces brochures, flyers and print-ready artwork to specification.

3

Packaging design

Designs product packaging that fits your brand and print requirements.

4

Original concept development

Develops original design concepts, not just template variations.

5

Brand consistency

Keeps colour, typography and tone consistent across every asset.

6

Multi-format delivery

Delivers print-ready, web-ready and editable versions as needed.

▣ Role Overview

Senior Graphic Designer

A senior graphic designer shapes how your brand looks everywhere. They build and maintain brand guidelines, lead major branding and identity projects, direct junior designers, and make the creative calls that keep your visual identity consistent as you grow.

Bring one in when design has become a brand asset, not just a production task.

1

Brand identity & guidelines

Builds and maintains brand guidelines, logo systems and visual identity.

2

Creative direction

Sets the creative direction for major campaigns and briefs the junior team.

3

"

"We'd been on a design subscription and never knew who'd pick up our request each week. Our designer from Aspire actually knows our brand now, keeps our source files organised, and turnaround is faster than the subscription ever was. It's about 60% cheaper than a UK hire too."

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring an offshore Graphic Designer with Aspire.

A UK graphic designer costs well beyond the salary once you add employer NI, pension and overheads, and freelancers typically charge £20–£75 an hour. With Aspire you pay one all-inclusive monthly fee and save up to 62%.

  • Junior (1–2 yrs): about £2,475/month in-house vs £950/month with Aspire
  • Mid-level (3–5 yrs): about £3,267/month vs £1,300/month
  • Senior (6+ yrs): about £4,752/month vs £1,800/month

You own everything. Every project is delivered with full editable source files, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign or Figma originals, not just flat exports. Full IP ownership sits with you from day one. Many subscription design services only hand over finished files, which can leave you stuck if you switch provider.

A subscription service queues your requests and assigns whichever designer is free, so you rarely work with the same person twice. A dedicated designer through Aspire works only for you, learns your brand properly, and stays consistent from one project to the next.

Yes. Your designer works remotely from our India office, aligned to your UK hours, inside your brand guidelines and asset library, with NDA and secure file access set up from day one.

A dedicated full-time designer, software, all employer costs, HR, recruitment and a UK account manager, in one monthly fee. The work spans social media graphics, branding, brochures, packaging, presentations and campaign creative, with unlimited revisions within scope.

Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign as the core suite, Canva and Adobe Express for fast-turnaround social content, and Figma or XD for digital design. We match designers to the tools you already use.

Yes. Mid and senior designers regularly produce print-ready artwork, packaging design and brochures to specification, delivered in the file formats your printer needs.

Usually within about four weeks, from briefing through sourcing, shortlist and interview to onboarding. We handle the recruitment so you only spend time on the final portfolio reviews.
