Nobody can speak for your work as well as you can, but good graphic designers are worth the money, as are quality resources that speak to what you do. If you learn it yourself, you have something you can build on. There's always a trade-off: money or time. That's probably not the concrete answer you were looking for, but in the end it comes down to what's right for you. Short answer: it depends.

I'm starting to wonder if paying professionals to assist me in my marketing efforts might be a better idea than spending so much time away from my studio.
