Frequently Asked Questions
How much does graphic design cost in India?
It varies widely by scope. A professional logo typically ranges from ₹5,000 to ₹50,000+, a monthly social media creative package from ₹8,000 to ₹40,000, and a complete brand identity (logo, colours, typography, templates) from ₹25,000 to a few lakh. Cheap one-off designs usually cost more long-term because they get redone repeatedly.
What is the difference between graphic design and branding?
Branding is the strategy — who you are, what you promise, and how you want to be perceived. Graphic design is the visual execution of that strategy: logo, colours, typography, creatives, and packaging. Design without a brand strategy behind it looks nice but says nothing consistent.
Can't I just use Canva or AI tools for my business design?
For quick internal needs, yes. But templates make you look like everyone else using the same template, and AI tools can't maintain a consistent brand system across hundreds of touchpoints. Most businesses do best with a professionally built brand kit, then use tools like Canva for day-to-day execution within that system.
Does graphic design actually affect sales?
Yes, measurably. Design shapes first impressions in under a second, and buyers judge credibility largely on visual presentation. In performance marketing, the creative is the biggest variable — the same audience and budget can produce two or three times better results purely from stronger ad design.
