Try fiverr. I havn't used it but it looked nice. You can also network on social media . There is allot of talent sitting at home jobless that will love to design for you with little cost.
It depends on what kind of quality your looking for. Professional designers charge good money for their artwork. I've had success using designers from South America. Here's a recommendation : https://www.behance.net/riverograp8c18

If you want a local talent, someone you are close to geographically, try your local high school or community college art department, or computer department. Ask them for suggestions or to put out the word.
If you don't care where they live, fivver can work, (not all jobs are five dollars,) or other freelance sites like freelancer.com.
If you want top end, go to an ad agency.

Stay away from Fiverr, we've tried a few times and never had good results.
The on line portfolios look great but when you start looking at several different artist you'll see they use some of the same photos.
They take pictures of other people's work, post it in their account and represent it as their own. Beware!

I've tried fivver three times.
One time it was bad, another time it was horrible, another time it was good. I paid more than five dollars each time. The "gigs" for raster art work from the artists I tried were posted at five dollars. I communicated with them before hand and agreed to pay from $15-$20 each time for vector work.
The one good artists I found I used again a few times.
My 1 out of 3 ratio might be typical, or it might not be. Still it is very cheap to try. It helps if you have low expectations going in and have some room for surprise.
I think you can find talented people there, but maybe they are rare. I don't think you going to get it for five bucks. You have to step into the twenty dollar range and above I think to find the serious ones.

A 1 to 3 ratio is great I'd stick with fiverr. Usually expect 1 to 5. Everyone calls them self a " Graphic Designer" but very few can prove it.
When you feel like I do , it's best to Make Your Own. We make 99.9% of all our graphics.
If you don't know how , you should continue to have low expectations until you learn.
It's hard designing for some people.
until the day where you're able to plug your brain to PC via USB, I will never know what kind of image is in your head that you want printed on these shirts.
I respect people who provide a kindergarten grade drawing because at least you gave me something. Something is always better than nothing.
The daily design dilemma.

I usually do my own. But I wanted to try fivver and I had a creative block on a design. I wanted to test the waters so I tried the three times to see what creativity was there. The bad and horrible ones I think were cultural barriers. I was wanting a mascot concepts for football for a non animal team, (wave.) For me I just was drawing blank as to how to make a mean looking wave. The two I took as fails might have worked overseas, but not in the states. (A wave with tassels and curly pointed shoes? Nobody would get that here.) The good one I still have and own it, but haven't tried on an audience yet. It's a pretty mean looking wave.
