Some graphic designers often create "free-lance" and try to sell their productions on the internet in shops like Etsy. Two examples are below.
Professional graphic designers tend to have clients hire them for specific projects.

Professional graphic designers tend to have clients hire them for specific projects.
Professional graphic designers:
- Often have 10 or 20 choices of various iterations.
- Often show a client 3 to 5 top choices and hold the others back.
- If the client asks for something different, sometimes the designer has that option already done.
- Clients can be on a range of types:
- One client is unable to imagine and explain what they want.
- Another client is so detailed in what they want they need the designer to help them focus.
- Most are in-between.
- Some need all 20 choices and will eliminate and pick based on feelings.
