What Are Unlimited Graphic Design Services?

Unlimited graphic design is the fastest, most affordable way to get professional design. Learn what it is and how it works!

TL;DR

An unlimited graphic design subscription means you can make unlimited design requests while paying a flat monthly fee. Unlimited revisions are also included in the subscription, and simple projects usually take just 1-2 days to complete. Compared to freelancers and traditional design agencies, it’s by far the most cost-effective way to get professional design. 

In an increasingly visual world, design matters more than ever. However, working with a design agency can be a significant strain on your budget. Freelancers are unpredictable in terms of quality and time management. 

So, should you hire a full-time in-house designer? The average graphic designer salary is about $6,000, plus administrative costs. This could still be a bit out of reach for most small businesses just starting out.

On top of that, one designer can’t  tackle every design project (e.g. complex illustrations and UI/UX design require vastly different skill sets).

What does unlimited design mean?

You might come across terms like “design as as a service” or “on-demand” design service, but usually, they refer to the same type of service. A monthly graphic design subscription means that you pay a flat monthly rate to make unlimited design requests. Here’s what you get: 

• • Unlimited design requests: There’s no limit to how many design requests you can make. But, there is usually an expected daily output.
  • Unlimited revisions: If you don’t like something, designers keep revising until you’re happy (at no additional charge).
  • Different design types: One service for all your design projects, such as website design, social media graphics, branding, presentation design, digital marketing design, etc.
  • No contracts: Have full flexibility to pause, cancel, scale up or down as you go. There are also no hidden administrative costs. Some companies also offer money-back guarantees.

How does on-demand design work?

Let’s take a closer look into the day-to-day of a flat-rate graphic design service. We’ll use ManyPixels as an example.

1. Make a rquest

At ManyPixels we use a simple form that helps our clients create the perfect design brief.

You’ll need to choose the type of design and specify the design projects, and add anything you want your dedicated designer to know (brand assets, style inspiration, etc.). You can also leave it blank and communicate later on.

2. Communicate with your designer

At ManyPixels, we assign the designer according to their specific skills, so that you get the best person for each design task. 

However, unlike freelancers, many subscription-based design services (ManyPixels included) also have dedicated project managers. They can offer expert advice, suggest a different direction, or even a different designer.

3. Revisions

Most graphic design projects need revisions. However, on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, freelancers usually specify a limit of revisions and charge extra for additional ones.

On-demand design services include unlimited revisions, at no extra charge. This is a great feature for reusing graphics, or recurring campaign assets since you’ll get new designs in no time!

4. Final approval and delivery

Once you’re happy with the finished projects, your design task will be closed, and all the designs, as well as source files, safely stored in our app. 

With ManyPixels, you will always get the initial feedback in 24 hours, and most design requests are delivered in just 1-2 business days!

The benefits of subscription-based design services

It all sounds good in theory, but how do unlimited graphic design services compare to other design providers? Here’s a quick look.

It’s cost-effective

The most tangible benefit of using a subscription-based service is the price. It goes without saying that you’ll really get your money’s worth if you make several design requests every month. 

Still, most unlimited design companies charge between $300 and $1,000 a month. This is a fraction of the cost you’d pay a graphic design agency and what you’d pay a qualified freelancer for a single, more complex project.

The best person for each design task

With unlimited design services, you’ll always work with a designer whose skills and expertise fit your needs. Most services also have a thorough vetting process, so you know you’ll get high-quality graphic design every time.

Fast turnaround time

Unlike in-house teams or freelancers, with an on-demand service, you never have to worry about unforeseen circumstances such as sick leave or holidays.

At ManyPixels most projects have a 1-2 day turnaround! And here’s our estimated daily output (what one designer can do in one working day): 

• 2-3 social media graphics
• or 1-2 custom illustrations (more if they are not too complex)
• or 2-3 display ads
• or 4-5 pages of a brochure, e-book, report or slide deck
• or 1 GIF draft (2-3 sec)
• or 1-2 flyers
• or 1 logo design draft
• or the first draft of a landing page
