Graphic designers play a crucial role in making the marketer’s job easier. They save marketers a lot of time by handling the bulk of the visual workload. However, during overlapping schedules or busy periods, it’s not always possible to rely on them. Taking on graphic design tasks yourself can then feel overwhelming. Don’t worry – we’re here to guide you on how to prepare for this challenge.
