Design your way

Tuesday, March 27, 2018

This article with graphic design interview questions will be focused on the employer perspective because that’s the position I’ve been in lately.

Still, this can be used by graphic designers as a source material to learn what employers might ask them.

This way, you, as a designer, can be prepared for what’s coming and you can make a good impression.

Let’s get to the graphic design interview questions.

When looking for an in-house graphic designer, establishment will be the decisive factor.

Do you expect them to work in-house, or to be employed in a creative agency?

In the first case, you will have a designer devoted exclusively to your brand, while the latter would have to include you on a list of clients, and adapt his work to meet your requirements. We prepared graphic design interview questions for both scenarios.

Once you’ve settled the establishment issue, you need to review the candidates’ portfolios and shortlist close matches that could deal with your visual branding assignments.

The best candidates will be those ready to display an array of great samples, among which printed works and mobile designs. You can use the information provided in these portfolios to initiate a conversation, and learn more on the resources they used to complete their projects.

These graphic design interview questions will also expose the candidates’ soft skills, as for instance their readiness to work within a team, handle pressure and short deadlines, or accept feedback.

You will also be able to estimate their self-confidence when speaking about their work and presenting it to stakeholders, and gather all necessary information to hire the right person for your project.

Questions and sample answers

Please describe the skills and qualities of the ideal graphic designer

This question reveals in a nutshell how a designer feels about his profession. Most of them will agree that being technically savvy is not enough, and that they need to know how to convey the vision and message of your brand, and how to solve your problems.

How do you describe your relationship with developers, project managers, and copy writers? Tell us more concerning the ending hands-off processes.

A great designer should be a great team player, and a person who’s not afraid to ask questions, and to solicit help or advice. This also makes designers ready to collaborate with their clients, and to show genuine interest in what they do. They should keep constant contact with their clients, demands specific types of feedback and reviews, look for alternative sources, and deliver their work smoothly and on time.

How important is feedback for your designs? Did you ever receive strong criticism, and how did you handle it?

A good graphic designer is a problem-solver, not a problem-creator. Your best bet is a designer who knows how to handle and incorporate feedback, rather than one convinced that his work is the best.

Tell us more about your creative process? How do you divide your work?

This is the ultimate graphic design interview question designers know they’re about to get, and they should have a detailed explanation to give. No good designer jumps on a project as soon as he receives it – instead, he does research and suggests solutions for your problem, and may come up with a whole new concept and course of action. It is very likely that he will suggest several samples before coming up with the final design, just to show that he appreciates clients’ contribution to a project.

Is there a brand you admire the most, and did you learn something from it?

With this question, you will be checking whether the applicant follows innovations and trends, and whether he has particular interest in the industry you operate in. What you should expect is from him to accentuate the most important aspects of a brand, and discuss a possible correlation with you brand.

Let’s assume you’re in charge of designing our new logo. How do you envision it?

his will give you first-hand access to the candidate’s creative and thinking process, and a clear picture of whether he can deal with your brand.

Would you handle short or tough deadlines? Please discuss a situation where you managed to finalize a project successfully despite of the pressure.

Featured-project-Icon-a-Day Graphic Design Interview Questions You Should Know Answers To

You are after a throughout and thoughtful designer, and you should settle for nothing less than that. You must check whether they can prioritize, and make sure they won’t stumble upon the first obstacle.

Did you work remotely before? How did you manage to complete your projects successfully?

Thanks to this question, you will familiarize with the designer’s working style, and get a close look on his challenges. Make sure he highlights the importance of organization and communication, and that he knows how to assume responsibility.

Was there a case of disagreement between you and your clients, and how did you solve it?

A designer is foremost expected to present and defend their work in a respectful and professional manner, and for as long as they avoid direct confrontation with clients on issues that require compromise.

Let’s assume you’ve been asked to provide a design without any context. How will you proceed?

Not all clients have the best picture of how their designs should look, and may ask a designer to complete works that make absolutely no sense. The best thing a designer can do here is to respect their request and try to solve their issues, regardless of the information they provided.

Let’s give your portfolio a closer look. Which works are the best, according to you, and how do they stand out?

A great designer won’t be afraid to show his work, or lost navigating through pages to select a piece he likes. When he points out a project, ask him to discuss the problem he solved, and the process of getting there.

Can you say that your designs are successful?

This is a very honest and tactical question used to distinguish great from good designers. Great designers, on the one hand, will be honest and willing to improve, and care about conversion rates, user feedback, and other critical metrics that matter to their success. Overly proud ones, on the other, will be absolutely positive about their success without means to prove it.

Let’s hear something more about you.

interview-01 Graphic Design Interview Questions You Should Know Answers To

The designer will be expected to discuss primarily his professional persona, but a slice of personal information won’t hurt either. Say a word or two on who you are, and why you wanted to become a designer; and mention any experience you believe could be relevant for your future career. At this stage, you won’t be expected to go into details, but to provide a brief and friendly introduction that will take the conversation to a more personal level.

At this point, we recommend you to give the employer a business card. The common practice is to hand it over at the very end, but in such case you’ll be missing on the opportunity to create a great first impression. This way, you will be showing employers that you are professional, and that you have many things to share with them.

Which are your strong sides?

This is the favorite moment of many candidates, as they get to speak of their proudest moment. Yet, you shouldn’t overdo it, and you should mention only the very best professional accomplishments and skills that make you suitable for that workplace. Interestingly enough, people lose focus here quite often, and burn out in their desire to impress the employer. Some of them adopt an overly common approach to this question, and mention things that have little or nothing to do with the position in question.

Therefore, try to pick answers that match with the requirements, and assemble your strengths into a logical unit that adds value to that company. If possible, say more on the brand and why you’re interested to work with them, and make sure the hiring team knows you’ve got enough experience to support your thesis.

Last but not least – all cliché answers are wrong answer, so avoid describing yourself as the team player or the problem solver. These will all be empty claims you can’t really support with facts, and they certainly won’t impress an experienced recruiter. Instead, you should provide a picture of yourself that really makes you different from all other candidates.

Which are your weak sides?

So, is it really possible to pull off something positive from discussing your weaknesses? It certainly is, unless you’re playing the ‘I’m too good’ card.

Interviewers hear this all the time, and their intention is not to discover something wrong about you. Instead, they’re trying to come up with your mechanism of dealing with challenges and shortcomings, and to define whether you’re capable of improving in future. When trying to mask a weakness that is pretty obvious, the interviewer gets the message that you’re not interested to fix it.

The best way to approach this question is to be honest and give several examples instead of ones, but also to mention how you’re trying to deal with your weaknesses. A solid background is once again required, as well as a potential solution – if you’re not time-effective, tell your future employers about the app you downloaded to help you improve scheduling.

Which design software did you work on before?

job_interview Graphic Design Interview Questions You Should Know Answers To

What interviewers are trying to find out here is whether you’re already able to use their in-house programs, or at least whether you will be able to learn it. The best approach here is to familiarize with that software in advance, and provide a straightforward answer on how well you know it.

In case you have no idea about that software, you better be honest with them. Let them know which other programs you’re using and that you’d be more than interested to master the new skill. Ask more about it, and mention any tool that is similar or related, as this can be of great help for them to shortlist you as a suitable candidate. If you’re a professional Photoshop user, odds are good that you can handle its alternatives as well.

Make sure that the interviewer knows that you’re willing to adopt the new solution, even if you already worked with it. Eventually, the agency may upgrade to a better program, and they may require a flexible designer to adjust to it. Therefore, discuss all cases in which you were required to master a new program in the past.

What is specific about your creation process?

This answer should be well-prepared and very detailed, so make sure you wrap it up in advance. Don’t ramble too much on the info you provide, and don’t miss on any important detail. Employers’ rationale behind this question is to depict your interests and roadblocks, and to make a realistic estimation of how fast you’d integrate in their working process.

For some designers, solutions come intuitively, and they can crank out an incredible piece as soon as they start sketching. For the majority, however, design is a long process of planning solutions and crafting drafts, a thing that is nevertheless often considered an advantage.

An experienced employer will be looking for a designer that balances between the two extremes, namely one that treats design as an organized process and accepts critiques, but could come up with a solution independently if required so. If you take time to come up with a solution, be frank about it – it will mean that you devote yourself to your work, and interviewers will know how to appreciate it.

What did you learn from your professional mistakes?

It is human to make mistakes, and it is very mature to face them. Interviewers know you’ve had your blunders and they can live with that. Better yet, they may sympathize with you if they notice that you’ve learned your lesson, and that your mistakes actually made you a better designer. Keep few relevant bouncing examples in mind, but exclude those that could really have a negative effect on your reputation.

How do you prove that you’ve learned from your mistakes? Let them know that you’ve adjusted the way you think to the circumstances, and that you improved your work rather than skipping the mistake and moving on. For instance, you can mention a problem you had when learning to use new software, and how you overcame it with research and practice. What employers see in you is an investment, and they need to know that the investment will generate all value over time.

What do you want to achieve in graphic design?

The best way to describe this question is as a minefield – you must cross it, but you may burn out while doing so. Unless you’re applying for the position of your dreams and have no intention to move so whatever, you will find it difficult to align your goals with the ones of tour employers. Worry not – all interviewers know that you’ll be after what is best for you, but they must confirm you’ll be committed for the duration of your engagement.

The best way to discuss your goals is to shed favorable light over them, speaking foremost of your improvements in that company and how high you expect to get. In plain English, skip all statements related to moving to a larger company and gaining recognition somewhere else.

What you can say instead is that you dream of creating a logo as powerful as Nike’s – the goal may be lofty and overambitious, but at least you will signalize your employer that your goals match his. Who wouldn’t like a worldwide famous logo if you’re ready to provide it?

Lastly, whatever your goals are, make them known! Associating a starting position with your lifelong goals is probably a desperate attempt to impress your interviewers, so don’t let it happen. They want you to aim higher, and they may as well give you the means to do it!

What happened with your last job?

Remember – the worst way to mess an interview up is to grieve over your last employer, or to pull out all unpleasant details that marked your experience there. Preserve the professionalism, and keep things clear. As bad as your previous experience was, try to share the details in a positive manner.

For instance, many people abandon their jobs because of money issues, and they’re looking for a job that can generate more income. Not doing that would be unreasonable, and the employers are very well familiar with it, but still don’t expect to hear it from you. Sharing your salary concerns will signalize to them that the same may happen to them one day, so go for something that sounds better: a new career opportunity, development and advancement, poor recognition for your work, and so on.

A very common scenario is to be interviewed for I job prior to abandoning your current one, in which case you should be prepared for more questions concerning your experience there. A compulsory question that will emerge is why you believe that the position in question will be better, and how long it could take before you transfer to it.

Freelance designers, on the other hand, will be asked to discuss their clients and whether their active projects could prevent them from meeting deadlines.

Being completely frank, there is no easy way around this question, particularly for designers with bad experiences. If you were fired, for instance, you may find this question annoying and stressful, but that doesn’t mean you can’t answer it. Prepare an interesting comeback story and turn your experience into something positive – employers will love to hear about it!

A good piece of advice here is that every experience can be turned into something positive! If your previous employer fired you because you weren’t a close fit, you can say that you’re after a company that needs exactly your talent and skills. If the problem was of a more personal nature, highlight what you’ve done to improve your behavior, and how willing you are to get a chance.

Keep up the positive spirit and share only those details that are absolutely necessary to clarify the issue. Don’t blame and badmouth your previous employers regardless of what they did, and present facts in a clear manner, letting people know that you’ve learned from your experience. In the best scenario, you won’t get any more questions related to it.

How well do you know our company/brand?

job-interview_illustration- Graphic Design Interview Questions You Should Know Answers To

An employer’s favorite thing to hear is that a candidate exhibits genuine interest in the company, particularly if the candidate is a designer with a clearly formed opinion on the brand’s style.

Prepare for the interview, and have at least the general idea of who they are and what they do. Facts and details are not that necessary, but you must be acquainted with the overall philosophy, mission, and values of the firm. Only such person will be considered a close match.

In order for employers to want to work with you, they must get the same vibe by your side, and depict true interest. What could be better than discussing the things you like about them, and letting them know that you share the same values?

In some cases, you won’t have enough information at your disposal. You should use these situations as changes to find out more, pointing out you unsuccessful attempts to pick something out. It will be a pleasure for them to tell you more, especially if they see that you’re a good fit for the industry they operate in.

How did your graphic design knowledge improve over the years?

It goes without saying that employers prefer experienced workers, but even among those they’ll chose the ones interested to learn more. Stagnating is not a valid option, so make sure they know you’re interested in gaining more experience.

You will definitely be asked to discuss your educational background, and point out classes that meant the most to you. Yet, you should also mention the software skills you adopted lately, the seminars you attended, or the books you read. If you participate in a designer forum or you run your own blog, the employer will also love to hear about it.

Another thing you should share is your future plans. If planning to attend more classes or to write your own e-book, let them know. They will be impressed to find out that you’re constantly working on improving yourself.

At all instances, try to keep goals aligned with the position in question, so that you’d seem worth of hiring. If attempting to get a print design job, for instance, focus on your print design experiences instead of the digital ones.

Can we check your portfolio?

The only answer to this question is an immediate ‘yes’! Rather than simply handing the portfolio over, say a word or two about it, and invite the employer to check it out. Be ready for follow-up questions on each piece, and think of the designer goals and feedback you received.

Certain interviewers won’t waste too much time discussing your works as they’ve already seen them, but have these answers ready in case. It is always better to guide them and tell them what they see, but without going that much into details. A simple, ‘teaser’ line like ‘A local brand’s print campaign where I worked with a single ink color’ will be enough.

The portfolio should only contain your very best works, so that you’ll provide immediate access to the pieces you’re most proud of. Therefore, choose only the projects that shed a positive light on your creative work.

If you have the chance, combine pieces that matter to the position you’re applying for. If you don’t have any, create them!

Novice designers who’ve just graduated from school will have a slightly different portfolio, as they don’t really have completed projects to showcase. Instead, they should pick works that express their artistic identity, and pieces that highlight their ability to work in a particular industry.

Which types of printed designs have you created?

Assuming that you’re after a print design position, you’ll need to tell your employer which types of printed media you created in the past. The same rule applies for all types of designs, and employers are particularly impressed by candidates that have experience with different mediums.

What the interviewer is trying to understand is whether you’re a worthy investment, and whether you’ll require expensive training to get new jobs done. Therefore, mention all media types you can work with, and provide details on your professional training.

To support your claims, show samples of printed works you’ve created, and the impression will be much better. Certain employers will even ask you if they can keep the sample, and that’s already a good sign for you.

For designers acquiring a print design position with no such experience, we recommend convincing the employer that they do know how to handle such tasks. Ideally, you should be doing some research in advance to understand the basics of print design, but yet admit your limitations.

Please describe a challenging situation, and how you dealt with it?

Employers know very well how challenging and tense their work can be, and want to make sure that the new employee won’t stumble over the first obstacle. Therefore, you must let them know that you can handle pressure, and define what work under pressure actually means to you.

The best way to go here is to come up with a funny anecdote, deadline story, last minute changes, editorial mandates, or similar situations that stressed you out, as all of these will likely appear on the new job as well. Let the employer know you’ve already dealt with it, and that it made you more confident and more experienced.

What is your biggest achievement?

This question will be fairly easy for designers with academic accomplishments and lofty accolades and awards, and they’ll very likely be chosen for the position in question.

Without such achievements, however, the less lucky ones may find this question terribly difficult to answer. Sometimes, their biggest achievement will still be work in progress, or they will only be able to associate it with a personal success that has nothing to do with design.

The question, nevertheless, persists in all graphic design interviews, and the reason for that is that interviewers are looking for ambitious and passionate designers. They will also be interested to know what inspires you, and how do you imagine success at the first place.

How should you proceed? Your main task is to associate your accomplishment with the position in question, even if the two are not related at all.

Turn your achievement into an emotional story, and tell employers what it took to get there, and which challenges you had to deal with. Another thing the interviewer wants to know is why that accomplishment is so important, and whether it motivated you to become a good designer.

What should the perfect graphic designer do?

Perfect is a widely interpreted term, and that’s exactly why employers ask this question. They will try to dig up how you feel about your qualities and skills, and what you believe you miss in order to reach perfection.

The more qualities you discuss here the better, as employers know how much it takes to be a good graphic designer. Don’t be too general, but yet mention that a good designer is supposed to be imaginative, punctual, criticism-tolerant, and more.

Lastly, don’t underestimate the fact that you’re neither the first nor the last person that came up with this idea. The interviewer will very likely have heard it before, so list several attributes that will make you stand out from the crowd. Those may be some unique features you were praised for, and which also apply to the new position. The more you manage to surprise the employer, th better your chances to get hired will become.

Which are the projects you’re most interested in?

No employer will ask you whether you like your job, but the good ones will notice if you do. Designers that love that they do are the most successful designers, and everyone prefers to have them on board. Plus, passionate designers have additional interests and usually specialize in a unique branch, and they’re not afraid to face any challenge coming their way.

If not sure how well your interests match the position, look for a more generalized answer that is genuine, but still makes you stand out of the crowd. If there is a set of specific projects you prefer, you can always ask whether you will have the possibility to work on them, or whether there is a similar position that will be more suitable for you.

Broader answers are also fine. You can point out projects that require team work, or such you haven’t dealt with before and which are more challenging.

The best approach is to be as honest as possible, as the employer needs a genuine picture about you and how you can contribute to his work. Who knows – you may end up leaving the interview with a whole new job you didn’t know existed!

Do you meet deadlines?

Delivering results is not enough for employers – they will also need you to do so within a provided timeframe. If you don’t meet your deadlines your employer will lose money, but also risk the good image he has in the eyes of clients, partners, and associated.

For those who’re not really good with meeting deadlines, we recommend telling the interviewer that they respect deadlines as much as possible, and that they always do their best to have the job done in time. To support this claim, mention a task or two where you didn’t manage to meet a deadline, but also explain how you rectified the issue. Did you ask another designer to assist you? Did you get an extension? Let your future employers know!

Remember – what happened before is gone, and you can’t correct it. Employers are not asking you this to remind you of odd deadlines and negative experience, and you can always turn things to your advantage.

Another interesting idea is to mention that the cause of your delay were last-minute editorial changes, which will show the employer that you like to have things under control, and that you like to keep to your schedule. This answer will be both positive and realistic.

In how much time can you deliver a finalized product?

In the graphic design industry time is a precious thing, and no one wants to employ a candidate that wastes time on the long run. Put this way, however, this question can be a serious stepping stone, because you also need to protect your own interests.

Some designers will naturally try to ‘undersell’ their time management skills and set unrealistic deadlines, and wonder about it only once they’re told to keep up to them.

The first thing you should mention is that design is an artistic and hard-to-predict job, and that you can only provide them with average deadlines with room for sudden exceptions.

More than anything else, employers are efficient, and will look for someone that can achieve the most in a shortest lapse of time. If you tell them that what they do can be bundled within an hour instead of three, they will hold on to your promise, and you will be trapped in your own trap. Therefore, don’t use the short deadline trick to overplay other candidates who were realistic.

The interviewer will try to get the full picture of how you’re managing time. If you need more time than others to complete a project, your final point should be that that time is useful and helps improve the quality of the project. Regardless of how much time we’re talking about, divide it logical and manageable units, and explain how each of them works.

High estimations are a good thing, as they give employers more information, and they can help you get the job. For instance, the fact that you need time to come up with ideas may not be relevant for your job, as it is the creative director’s task to provide them.

At the same time, it may happen that the employer has no exact information on how much the project would last, and are in their full right to ask you that in order to build realistic expectations. Meanwhile, they will also think of a role they could assign you in their workflow.

How do you find our company?

This is the moment when the employer is transferring the spotlight on you. They will ask you to discuss what you know and like about them, and will naturally expect to hear the nicest of things.

Yet, keep in mind that not everything here is about flattering, and that they’re actually testing your knowledge on their company ahead of time. As we suggested before, not knowing anything about them is a good way to throw the ball in their court, and to ask the questions.

Be as honest as you can, as long as you’re not overly negative. If you didn’t like them, you wouldn’t have applied there at the first place, isn’t that so? Be constructive with your criticism, and try to associate your opinion with your career development possibilities there.

If there is something obviously missing in the company, consider it as a gap that you can close. Despite of all potentially negative feelings, try to stay on the kind side and to create a good impression.

What do you think about teamwork?

The most affected group here will be freelance and in-house designers with no experience in teamwork. For starters, they must make peace with the idea that they are becoming team players, and that they have a common goal with a bunch of other people they don’t really know.

Therefore, a plain ‘yes’ won’t suffice to answer this question – you need to provide genuine examples of how you can fit in a particular team.

Are you a proven team leader? Do you settle easily for tasks assigned by other people, and do you mind jumping in to get a job done? Can coworkers count on you in complex and last minute situations? The employer wants to know all of this!

If you’re a loner and not that much of a ‘colleague of the year’ type, you’ll still have to make concessions to your managers. While it is absolutely fine to work alone because you’re productive, there are other ways in which you can be useful for your team, and employers know them pretty well. For example, you can suggest participating in development researches or sharing opinions in public groups.

Keep in mind that employers are in a difficult situation themselves – they have 15-30 minutes to pick a candidate and guarantee that there will be no problems with him if he’s hired. Most of all, they’re trying to confirm that they’ve chosen a team player who won’t be a burden for the company.

How does criticism affect you?

Let’s face it – design is a creative and pretty individualized major, and artists tend to become self-sufficient divas that can’t handle rules or criticism.

While it is absolutely true that guidelines and pressure can damage one’s creativity, criticism is something a professional should know how to handle. Therefore, accept the fact that your employers expect you to listen to them, and to make the changes they suggest.

The interviewer should know that you respect your work and you’re proud of it, but that it doesn’t stop you from changing directions and following good ideas of other designers. Make it obvious that you can blend in their organizational hierarchy, and stay ready for follow-up question that will test your reactions in similar cases.

If you do tend to respond negatively to criticism, be honest about it, but highlight the fact that you’d still like a chance to be a part of the team. Make it known in a subtle way, such as saying that you happen to be overly passionate about your work, but that you won’t have issues dealing with criticism as it emerges.

Would you like to ask us a question?

Interviews are accompanied by so much anxiety and pressure that people often forget they go both ways. Interviewers want to know something about you, but so do you; and you should think of the interview process as a comfortable conversation, rather than an interrogation.

Still, you should be well-prepared under the seemingly casual mask, and a part of that preparation is to know exactly what you want to ask. A paper or two in hand will only let the interviewer know that you’re a serious candidate, and that you’re genuinely interested to get the job

When asked to bring up questions, skip asking on pay rates, sick leaves, and vacation dates (unless there is an important reason for that). The majority of employers don’t reveal payment details to candidates that are not preselected, so think of questions concerning your position or the company itself.

Ask about your future team, particular tasks or company engagements, and the interviewers will be more than happy to answer. A very good approach is to discuss the future plans of the company, including upcoming projects that may involve you.

This question will in most cases come last, so try to save some time to the interviewer. Ask three to five questions the most, including such you’re genuinely interested in. A good approach is to write the questions down before the interview (or during it), so that you won’t forget about them in the end.

Ending thoughts on graphic design interview questions

You may have an astonishing reputation, but that still doesn’t guarantee that you will be hired. Why so? Just because the interview you’re about to have involves much more than your technical skills.

Interviewers are looking for a candidate that can add value to their work, but also their team, and someone suitable to represent their company and help it grow. Do your best to show them that you are the one!
