The 10 best freelance mug and cup designers for hire in 2018
Cups and mugs. We use ‘em every day. What does your favorite cup or mug look like? What’s its story?
It’s great design isn’t a coincidence. A unique cup or an eye-catching mug is more than a vessel to drink from, it’s a conversation starter. Our top freelance cup and mug designer picks create drinkware that pulls rooms together and launches office mug-stealing wars. Get the best design for your cup or mug by hiring one of our top freelance designers.
How to get the best cup and mug design —
Most people are familiar with the process of working with a freelance designer. This is one way to have your cup or mug designed, but it’s not the only way. Consider hosting a design contest for your cup or mug design needs.

Next, you then choose finalists and give feedback to hone the designs. Once you see the revised designs, you choose your winner. Contests are a great way to see many different ideas and interpretations of your brief in various design styles.

More cup and mug designers
How did we choose these as the top mug and cup designers? —
We know mug and cup design is important to get right because there’s two kinds of cups in the world: cups that carry delicious beverages, and cups that spend their lives as pencil receptacles on desks. A great design guarantees your cup will be in the first category. So how did we make our top 10 mug and cup designer picks? By carefully considering these three traits:
1. Design quality
by SOMA design dealers
When a designer joins 99designs, a member of our team gauges their skill level by going through their portfolio and considering the conceptual thought, technical execution and knowledge of design principles present in their work. Then, our team assigns the designer one of three levels:
Top Level
Mid Level
Entry Level
These levels are displayed on designer portfolios, so you can easily see if you’re working with someone who’s got well-developed design skills or someone up-and-coming.
2. Mug and cup design experience
A great illustrator or tattoo designer might make a design that would look cool on a cup or a mug, but a dedicated cup or mug designer has the skills to create designs tailored for cups and mugs of all sizes. In addition to looking at overall portfolio quality, we specifically vetted each designer on this list and only chose the ones whose portfolios demonstrated strong cup and mug design experience.
3. Professionalism
Of course you want someone with design skills, but that’s not all you want from a freelance designer. You also want to work with a designer who communicates with you throughout the process, delivers on time and generally, is good to work with. With these qualities in mind, we also vetted our picks and only chose designers who are professionals in service as well as design.
Are you ready to hire a refreshing freelance mug or cup designer? —
A great cup or mug designer translates your brand into imagery in a delectable way, whether that’s showcasing your single origin coffee’s sophistication or how your craft beer line innovates and subverts your chosen style. If you don’t think one of our picks is able to do that for you, take a look at the many other designers on our website. We’re sure you’ll find the designer who fits your project perfectly.
Want to be matched to a mug & cup designer?

How to get started with SOPs and be more productive
The term Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been known to create an instant workplace Pavlovian response that manifests in a big, wide yawn requiring a hurried apology. To avoid the psychological baggage, Dan Martell refers to it as a playbook instead. Regardless of terminology, setting up SOPs to improve your processes can have a huge positive effect on productivity—if you implement them properly.
In this article we’ll show you how to introduce SOPs into your workflow and actually get stuff done. If you find yourself managing from disaster to disaster, and a typical work day consists of putting out fires with one hand while fending off a pack of wild dingoes with the other, it might be time to take a new, unbiased look at SOPs. They just might save your sanity.
Here’s how to implement SOPs properly—and get stuff done —
1. Come up with good SOPs
Design by OrangeCrush
First things first, you need to come up with a good set of SOPs that help make processes clearer and easier for everyone.
Despite a knee-jerk reaction tendency to bring everyone into the SOP creation strategy sessions, resist the temptation. Research has shown that teams lose effectiveness as they increase in size. In fact, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has a two pizza rule. If a group can’t be fed on a couple of pizzas, it’s too big.
The point is that you should select a test group from among your better (however you choose to define that) employees. These people will be charged with creating and testing the SOPs before they are distributed to the company at large.
Only after each new process has been properly vetted should you make it part of the office culture. There’s nothing wrong with adjusting SOPs as needed, but it could be a problem if they are in a constant state of revision, which can be maddening to those trying to follow them. By the time employees learn one thing, it changes. Hold off a bit. Get the thing right, make it a policy, and then only change it if there is an overriding reason to do so.
2. Get people on board
All a-board the SOP train! Design by Pandawa_Design.
Let’s assume your current SOP strategy is either non-existent or a quivering pile of confusion that contributes nothing positive to the office but everyone has grown accustomed to bad processes. It’s obvious a change is desperately needed, but people generally hate change.
The reality is that you can divide employees into three groups in regard to your newly-christened SOP crusade:
#1. They’re with you 100% #2. They’re against you 200% #3. They are completely clueless
In order for your SOPs to work, people need to understand, accept and follow them. That means you need to assess how willing people are to stick to your new SOPs—and if not, figure out why.
It also means you’ll need to look at any potential new hire through the lens of whether or not they fit into the first category of 100% buy-in. Otherwise, don’t hire them out of desperation for warm bodies to do the work that’s piling up. This will save headaches in the long run.
Once you know everyone’s on board with your SOPs and nothing is holding them back, your processes will start running smoothly.
3. Stop the micromanaging madness
No need to constantly pop up everywhere to check on people. Design by a.n.n.a.
Volumes have been written about the dangers of micromanaging, not the least of which is you’re liable to end up with either a rebellion on your hands or a group of employees so hapless they can’t make a single decision on their own. As a boss man or lady, that’s not your goal. If it were as simple as waving a magic wand and telling you to, “Stop doing that!” then the problem would be solved. Curing the micromanaging habit is a little harder.
The good news is that, done the right way, a set of SOPs that have been properly created, tested, and installed could save Type A management types from an early stress-related health emergency. A good first step is to stop staring at the details of the process and focus on goals and results instead. If you have good people following a good plan, give them room to operate.
Trust in the SOPs you created and trust people to follow them. If you went through step 1 and 2 above, you know everyone’s on board and knows what to do, so let them get on with it.
4. Got a printed manual? Check the calendar.
Logo design by Spoon Lancer
When it’s time to verify the way something should be done around the office, do you pull out a printed manual the size of a Volkswagen and blow the dust off? According to that calendar on the wall, it’s 2018. We do things online these days. The reality is that an employee’s brain is dialed into digital at a molecular level. Since (hopefully) you’re going to be creating an entirely new set of streamlined SOPs anyway, it’s time to put them online where anyone can take a look at them at any old time they want. Plus, it’s easy to make adjustments when processes change (and they will).
Make sure that your digital manual is searchable and has a table of contents with links to the corresponding chapters, to make it easy for people to find what they’re looking for.
With 3.74 billion internet users in 2017 (see this infographic—statistic #1), we’ve passed the point where being online or not is optional. People think, live, and practically breathe in digital these days. Managers and entrepreneurs with employees should acknowledge this with their SOP documentation format.
5. Forget multitasking—one thing at a time is better
Illustration by Illia Levitsky
According to at least one study, multitasking is not good for your brain. Too many of us confuse activity with productivity. Just because you’re juggling ten tasks at once doesn’t mean they get done faster than if you were to deal with each, one at a time, from beginning to completion.
Your SOPs should encourage your employees (and yourself) to stick to one task at a time and follow it through. This will have a huge impact on productivity, guaranteed.
By the way, if you have ten things to get done on any single day, you’re might be setting your goals too high. According to serial entrepreneur Louis Spagnuolo, your daily list shouldn’t have more than five items, lest you risk a brain implosion. Spagnuolo’s personal philosophy is that it’s better to get four items 100% of the way done than five accomplished to only 80% completion.
Time to set up SOPs and start being more productive
—
If you reach the point where it feels like you’re no longer being productive, that all the flailing and wheel spinning isn’t getting any more accomplished, step back and think of this. The problem isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough but rather that your workflow needs an adjustment. Improved procedures will almost certainly lead to more desirable results, and that is what keeps a manager from losing his or her mind.

9 creative font trends for 2019
Infusing beautiful typography into your design is the one of the most effective ways to communicate as a brand. That’s why keeping up with the latest font trends is absolutely essential.
Creative fonts can not only carry your message, but they also make a visual impact and evoke emotion. Typography can express joy or fear, loud or quiet. Or it can make you laugh, cringe, gasp—and everything in between.
Let’s take a look at the latest font trends in 2019, so you can use them in your own designs.
9 font trends that will be huge in 2019 —
1. Extra-loud bold fonts 2. Minimal sans serif fonts 3. Nostalgic vintage fonts 4. Evolving script fonts 5. Outline fonts 6. High-contrast serif fonts 7. Quirky fonts 8. Messy fonts 9. Unique hand-lettering
1. Extra-loud bold fonts
In 2019, extra-loud, dramatic, bold fonts will continue to grow in popularity with designers looking to leave an impression. These typographic superheroes dominate designs as the main design element and are an obvious choice if you want your message to scream and shout.
Bold fonts make your logo pop on whatever you put it on. Posters and flyers will be visible from afar. And your website will be packed with a ton of personality.
Beautiful website using a bold and loud font. Via Van Holtz Co.
2. Minimal sans serif fonts
Meet the introverted siblings of bold typography: simple sans serif fonts (that’s fonts without serifs, the little feet on the corner of each letter), which will continue to be a huge favorite for minimalistic designs in 2019. Thanks to their simplicity, these fonts are incredibly easy to work with. They’re not visually demanding and are very powerful when used well.
Simple sans serifs make compositions look airy and soft with a sense of calm and tranquility. Give them room to breathe and the space they need or you risk taking away their charm.
Outstanding example of a clean yet so powerful website. Via Libratone.
3. Nostalgic vintage fonts
The more we dive into the future, the more appealing the past gets. That’s true of fashion, interior design, and yes, graphic design. So, it’s no surprise that in 2019 we’ll see lots of fonts that are imitating and trying to recapture the past.
Using a vintage font can make a logo or package design look elegant and serious. Or bold, yet nostalgic and intricate. If you want to bring a classic touch to the modern world, this style is definitely for you.
Awesome font family with that combined the modern with the vintage. Via Ilham Herry.
4. Evolving script fonts
Script typefaces will never be outdated. They imitate the fluidity of handwriting and are built on the elegant letterforms of calligraphers. However, script fonts have evolved a lot and in 2019 they’ll come in many different shapes and styles. They can be classic or quirky, serious or playful, monoline or varied weight. When it comes to scrips fonts, anything goes this year. No matter which style you choose, the visual result is going to be filled with a sense of wonder.
Gorgeous monoline script font family design. Via Martina Flor.
5. Outline fonts
Whether you’re looking to pump up your header, highlight some copy or make a composition feel airy, outline fonts have you covered and they will be popping up everywhere this year. Their modern, industrial look makes brands look cutting-edge and mature. Look for them in all sorts of different shapes and sizes: big or small, regular or bold, condensed or italic, rustic and handmade or sleek and sharp.
Beautiful website header using an outlined font by simplest
6. High-contrast serif fonts
High-contrast serifs are loud, yet elegant and in 2019 they will be everywhere. You’ll recognize their extremely contrasting weights: the upstroke of a letter is usually thinner than the downstroke, and these fonts exaggerate this difference, creating a dramatic effect.
This contrast makes them very bold, kind of raw, with an element of “fancy.” When you use this typography style, you’ll easily class up your design.
Bold, clean and elegant high contrast font. Via Aviva.
7. Quirky fonts
Look for more playful typography in 2019 that’s rough, clumsy, but still charming. People are attracted to quirky imagery that is uneven, unexpected and even funny because it offers them a break from the sleekness and heaviness that surrounds them.
Quirky fonts are easy-going and are perfect for materials that are meant to put a smile on your audience’s face. Check out these examples that turn print and digital messaging into a fresh and joyous experience.
Joyful and bright font. Via Free Stock.
8. Messy fonts
Bold, serif and script fonts all have messy counterparts and can be used as basis for the rough and messy font trend. They abandon what’s “pretty” as we know it, and create a new form of beauty—one that doesn’t care.
Expect to see a lot more of these effortless and underground fonts with a punk attitude that’s cool without even trying. If you feel like you need to break out from the ordinary—and if you can handle the mess—these are for you.
Blocky and rough, linocut inspired font. Via Nika Nekrasova and Lukyan Turetsky.
9. Unique hand-lettering
We’ve talked so much about actual fonts, but let’s not forget that hand-lettering is getting increasingly popular as well. Custom-made typography is charming, unique and special, and more and more brands are realizing it, making 2019 the year of unique and distinctive fonts.
Hand-lettering can do anything. Any shape and size. Any style. But most importantly, you’ll always get something one-of-a-kind, which adds a huge amount of personality to your brand or product.
Such a whimsical hand lettered design by allthestarsunder
2019: The year of “anything is possible” —
Just like every year, creatives all over the world are looking to push the boundaries, create and reinvent! Expect to see a little bit of everything—from subtle to bold, handwritten to digital, elegant to messy (and everything in between). And it all exists in perfect typographic harmony.
Let’s get you a design with the trendiest typography!
Our designers are on it.
Let’s go!
