Find a local infographic design in Perth

Turning your data or process into a visual: structuring the information, choosing chart types, designing the layout and setting it all in your brand. A typical gig includes a structure or wireframe you sign off before any visual design starts. You should get a web version, a print-ready version if needed, and the source file.

A single clear takeaway. The common failure is treating it as decoration for a spreadsheet, which produces something colourful that nobody can read. A good infographic has one point, an obvious reading order, and charts chosen to suit the data rather than to look interesting. If someone cannot state the conclusion after five seconds, it needs another pass.

Usually 1 to 2 weeks. The design is quick once the structure is agreed; the time goes into making sense of the data and deciding what to leave out. Supply your numbers in a clean spreadsheet with the source noted, and check them before the gig starts, because a late data change means redrawing charts.

Yes, and in a usable form. A designer will structure and visualise your numbers but is not a substitute for verifying them. Send a spreadsheet with the figures, what each one means and where it came from. If you want the freelancer to gather data too, treat that as a separate research stage in the gig.

A chart shows one dataset. An infographic builds an argument, usually combining several charts, some numbers and a bit of copy into one narrative. If you just need a bar chart on brand, that is a smaller and cheaper job. Ask for what you actually need, because infographic pricing assumes the narrative work.

A high-resolution PNG or JPG for web, a PDF for print or sharing, and the editable source file. If the data will update, ask whether the charts are built so numbers can be changed without redrawing, since that is the difference between a cheap annual refresh and starting over.

In Perth, a single infographic from data you supply typically runs $400 to $1,200. A more involved piece with several charts, custom illustration and a print version more commonly lands at $1,500 to $3,500. A set for a report or whitepaper is usually quoted together and works out cheaper per piece.

The range on this page runs from about $69 to $188 an hour. Nearer $69 is a junior designer, the middle of the band covers most gigs (an experienced designer working solo), and the top of the band is a design lead. Data visualisation is a specialism, so for anything where the numbers have to be exactly right the middle of the band upward is the safer call.

Ask for pieces where they handled the data structure, not just the styling, and check whether the conclusion is obvious to you as an outsider. A designer who asks what the single takeaway should be, before asking about colours, is the one to shortlist.

Post an infographic design gig in 60 seconds. Describe the work, set your budget and timeframe, and choose whether it is time-based or outcome-based. Local freelancers send a bid with a quote, you compare their profiles, portfolios and reviews, then pick the one that fits. Posting is free, so you only pay for the work.

Every gig runs on a payment schedule you both agree on up front, and every payment is held securely through Stripe. On an outcome-based gig you fund each stage before the work starts and it is released once you sign off. On a time-based gig you are charged for each month as it starts, and it is released to your freelancer once that month has been worked. No chasing invoices, and no paying for work that is not done.
