Build your career as a Graphic Designer
Projects where the brand is the engagement: identities that do not exist, campaigns that need pieces and suppliers that send production back wrong. Shakers connects you with teams holding the brief and needing the visual system.
Spanish graphic design lives between the permanent seat, the big studio and the generalist marketplace; the role page for the by-project engagement barely existed. Here the brief arrives with supports and a committed date.
This is not a bank of courses: it is what gets designed on a real engagement, what you must prove and where your signature stays.
- Higher-paying projects
- More continuity between projects
- Greater recognition for your experience

Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

AI Developer
“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

Join ShakersWhat a Graphic Designer designs every week
A Graphic Designer creates the visual layer of a brand per engagement: identity, campaign pieces, digital creatives and editorial material with Adobe CC and editing tools. With no fixed payroll, from brief to final production.
Their boundary: the UX/UI designer designs the interface of a digital product; the Graphic Designer answers for the brand and its pieces on any support.
You close the visual system with a short manual, produce the batch of pieces on every support and leave templates the client reuses. You also decide what does not get designed: a piece with no brief goes back with an argument. The system is yours; production is the proof.

What a Graphic Designer delivers at Shakers
The visual system
Fonts, colour and grid with a short manual: the brand documented so the team produces on its own.
The batch produced
The pieces of the engagement on every support, with prepress solved and final files in order.
The templates
What the client reuses when you are gone: the next piece ships in hours with the brand intact.
A counted portfolio
Which system you delivered, on which supports it lived and how long it lasted in production: practice gets demonstrated, not declared.
Final production
Bleed, fonts and profiles: the piece the printer will not send back. The craft ends in a closed file.
Adaptation speed
The campaign changes support in hours: you master the jump from signage to a digital story without losing the system.
Frequently asked questions
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
What does a Graphic Designer do by project?
They design the visual layer of a brand per engagement: identity, creatives and editorial from brief to final production. One visual system, one documented batch of deliverables.
Graphic Designer or UX/UI designer?
The graphic designer answers for the brand on any support; the UX/UI designer designs the interface of a digital product. Many engagements cross, boundary written.
Graphic Designer or Product Designer?
The Product Designer lives in digital product teams: discovery and prototypes. The graphic designer holds identity and campaign. Employment contracts each title by name: pick your territory.
How much to charge as a contract Graphic Designer?
The mechanism marks it: full identity or loose pieces, number of supports, original stock and final production. Public references do not square; your budget closes per engagement.
Is there enough engagement in Spain for design by project?
The door exists and had no role page: in Spain the formula 'diseñador gráfico freelance' sums 260 searches a month and the local marketplaces serve it (Shakers market analysis, September 2026).
How do I get in without a contact network?
By getting certified: the process certifies your practice and the collective brings the engagements. Your work is showing produced systems with real consequences; matching each batch is ours.
The daily shape of the craft
The brief that changes in the second round, the campaign that needs twenty pieces on ten supports and the printer sending the file back over bleed. Less museum, more visual system producing.
SMB or studio: pick your buyer
The SMB brings the identity it never closed and the pieces its supplier keeps sending back wrong; the big studio brings reinforcement that produces without explanation. The demand with a literal formula is the SMB one: in Spain it is searched as 'diseñador gráfico freelance', 260 searches a month (Google Ads).
What it is not
You are not a commissioned illustrator or a pure video editor: doors of their own with their own market. If the engagement is the flow of a digital product, that boundary has a row of its own.
Who you share the brand with
A brand does not live alone: whoever designs the product and whoever builds the site cross your path in every engagement.
UX/UI Designer
The direct boundary: the interface of the digital product. If the engagement moves from brand to flows with users, their row takes that conversation.
Product Designer
Design inside the product team: discovery and prototypes. When the piece is the product, their row joins.
WordPress Developer
The page that presents the brand you design: when the identity needs a site, their row builds it and keeps it.
Frontend Developer
The interactive pieces of your campaign: web animation and landings with the fidelity of the system you deliver.
Ecommerce Developer
The store that wears your identity: when the campaign lands on product with pages and cart, their row joins.
Boundaries between these roles get agreed per project: the job title does not set them.
