Best way for a layperson to hire out graphic design help for hobby project? (kbin.social)

Like say for example I wanted a cool icon for my kbin/lemmy community.

I used the Reddit forhire sub in the past but it seems less active nowadays.. plus it's Reddit..

And I've used fiverr before but it seems better suited for having a cool artwork made than for webdesign or something highly specific due to the language barrier.

On Fiverr there are plenty of graphic designers who speak English natively, they just likely aren’t the <$10 options. I believe there’s a spot in the user profile that shows what country they are located in.

You also could contact a local graphic design firm and get an estimate.

Oh yea I don't mind paying, I'm not on fiverr to be cheap lol. Maybe I need to take a deeper look, most people on fiverr I had trouble with if what I wanted them to make me was more complicated than like a one sentence description lol. So I've never successfully had web design done off it.

However for things that require little to no explaining like getting a portrait made it's been awesome.
