MenuDoes anyone have experience creating a journal and if so, do you have a designer and format person you'd recommend?
This question has no further details.
Answers
I've found designers in two ways:
* browsing Behance or another portfolio website and contacting designers whose work I liked
* finding a freelancer on Upwork
As always when hiring people you will need to go through quite a few options before you find a good fit. Take a good look at their portfolios before contacting anyone.
On Behance, you may find that many are employed by agencies that might be too expensive (depending on your budget), but you can find independent designers in low-cost countries that are affordable.
Upwork tends to the be the budget option where you can also expect lower quality. There, it may be appropriate to hire a couple of designers for a trial project with a low budget and then make final decision based on actually working with them.
Dear my profession is a graphic designer with over 1000 graphics a year could you contact me to see what it is about maybe I could help you.
For graphic designs I tend to find the best designer on Upwork & Freelancer,
But If it's just for 1 journal, I'd recommend checking hatchwise.com & 99designs.com - You can start a contest there (hatchwise is much cheaper) and have tons of designer posting different ideas.
Last time I received 150+ logo design idea for a new brand.
I would do the same for a journal or book cover, the investment will be worth it.
Good luck with your project!

You can save a lot of money but if you are looking for someone in the long run then I would suggest hiring someone.

What is the best place to find freelance designers?
You'll find that to be the case on any outsourcing site. Focus on the reviews and comments left on a designer's profile. This will give you an idea of the quality of their work before contacting them. Further, check out LinkedIn and search for "freelance designer" or "freelance graphic design" and sift through the results. Good luck! They're out there!SN

What are the pros and cons of building an app versus a responsive website as an MVP?
This is a great question and an important one as well. I would start by identifying: Who is your target market? How will they use your product? On the go? On their laptop or on their mobile device? What kind of technology does your product need? Can it be built as a simple website or does in need to be an app (i.e. you need push notifications, integration with other mobile apps, etc). On the other hand, how much time and budget do you have? Typically a responsive website is faster and cheaper to build than an app and will get you out the door faster.AM

How to hire an outsourcer (Upwork, Freelancer, etc.) for lead generation for a design and branding firm?
I've been using UW for a few years. It is very useful but you have to be careful. Lot of unreliable people out there. Over the years, I've narrowed a couple of people I keep using. And have excluded others. Few things: 1- It's best to give clear instruction. I tend to build GSheet on what I need, interact a lot of Skype at the beginning 2- If you are searching for mails, do use email verification services. I find that people I work with tend to have a 95% success rate but, at the start, best to be on the safe side rather than burn your mail server (bounce rate need to be low) 3- Focus helps but if you are testing things out, you could use a platform like Reply.io to test out a few verticals and see what works or what doesn't work. 4- It feels your target markets are a bit too generic. Using UW, you'd have too wide a net. There are various ways to narrowing things down, from geos to title to company size or even keyword in company profile. Again, what is possible is to set a filter and share it with UW. Hope it helps, UW etc... are useful and best in my experience than the products out there. But it is a bit of work (no pain no gain). Happy to set up a call if you see value (am rather new to Clarity so not too sure how it works!). Best, HHH

How do you get a product prototype developed in China sitting in the US?
It varies and it's very very specific to what you want to develop. The concrete design of your circuit matters. Also prototype building costs are usually a factor 10-100 higher than series. If you already have your prototype then you can shop around various manufacturing companies. To do that, you need Gerber files (your PCB design) and a bill of materials. You also need to think about casing: designing it and creating the mold is expensive. If you don't have your prototype yet, I recommend having it engineered in eastern Europe. Custom engineering is cheap there and high quality. IP protection is a problem. One thing to do is to distribute the work to different manufacturers. For the design phase you are safer if you design your prototype in Europe or the US where international patent laws apply. I could give you more specific advise in a phone call, getting to know a bit better what you are trying to build.GF
