Generative AI tools have become the preferred method of getting content for many marketers and businesses. Content, video, and design; you name it, there’s a generative AI model for it. However, these tools still need more refinement and improvement. Plus, it doesn’t fully capture what human designers can do. Finally, using or subscribing to these graphic design tools can cost you more. That said, investing in graphic design subscription services is much better. Here’s why you should.

1. Work with Seasoned Pros

Graphic design subscription services ensure that only experienced employees are part of its exclusive team. For instance, Penji hires the top 2% of the graphic designers in the industry. That guarantees only the cream of the crop will create stunning designs for your projects. You don’t have to worry about absentee freelancers or working with unprofessional designers.

2. More Affordable Option

Freelancers charge hourly or monthly. Regardless of their preferred working and payment options, hiring freelancers is costly. Sure, some charge as low as $5/hr or even per-project. However, you’ll pay for what you get if you pay as low as that. Additionally, depending on your project, you can break the bank when you work with an expert freelance graphic designer. For instance, Air.inc finds that the rates of experienced designers are between $65 to $125. Meanwhile, per-project options vary, but they can be over $1,000 or more, depending on the project’s complexity.

Fortunately, graphic design subscription plans are much more affordable! Plus, you can request unlimited designs monthly, which won’t make a big dent in your wallet. And you can cancel anytime!

3. Graphic Designers Create Better Designs Than AI

Generative AI is now all the rage. Many businesses use AI because it’s faster and cheaper than hiring graphic designers. However, AI can be a hit and miss with its generated designs. It’s still learning how to create designs. That said, graphic designers are still the best option for custom graphic design work.

As part of the hiring process, subscription graphic design services ensure that its designers create quality work. You can rely on these professionals to work on your designs

4. Established and Efficient Workflows

A top subscription graphic design service has a workflow to ensure that projects are created and submitted on time. Once the service receives your submitted project request, it will be reviewed within 24 to 48 hours. However, since the advent of AI, many graphic design services have introduced or integrated AI into their workflow. Some graphic design services use AI to generate designs. However, some others use it to increase productivity, such as assigning you to designers. Or, it can help you fill out a submission form.

5. Switch Designers

Some subscription graphic design services offer the option of switching designers. This allows you to get versatile design choices. Plus, you don’t have to unsubscribe to find a new designer. Most subscription graphic design services employ graphic designers of various specialties. Expect designers to create unique and custom designs every time you request a design. For example, Penji allows you to switch designers if you want new design options.

6. Turnaround Times

Freelance graphic designers have varied turnaround times. Some freelance designers have 24 to 48-hour turnaround times. Meanwhile, some promise longer because they handle multiple clients or work on more complex projects. However, subscription graphic design services guarantee a 24 to 48-hour turnaround. They can do this because they hire a team of professionals to handle multiple projects at once. Plus, the turnaround times are doable because you get assigned a dedicated designer or team to ensure that deadlines are met. 

7. Updated with Latest Trends

Some graphic design services invest in their employees. This means that they want to ensure continuous growth and improvement. That said, many graphic designers continue to learn from experts. Plus, they are updated with the latest trends in the industry. Even with that, graphic designers ensure that what’s ideal for one’s brand and use the latest techniques and skills to make the best designs.

8. Unlimited Revisions

Another advantage of subscribing to graphic design services is unlimited revisions. This is an ideal feature because you want your envisioned designs from professionals. Sometimes, designers can’t get the first draft immediately. And with unlimited revisions, you can revise until you’re 100% satisfied. One advantage Penji has over our competitors is our state-of-the-art point-and-click revision tool. You can point to a specific part of the design and add your feedback. This way, your designer knows exactly how to amend or improve the design.

9. Designers Understand the Audience

AI can create designs from scratch in a few minutes, generate multiple designs in one prompt, and edit some graphics instantly. However, it can’t truly capture the emotions needed to make the design enthralling. Its designs won’t connect to the audience. Designers working in a subscription graphic design service can understand the brand’s audience. They employ graphic design principles to achieve the desired result that the brand needs when creating designs.

10. Request Multiple Designs

Finally, one reason why you should subscribe to a graphic design service is you can request multiple designs at a time. However, even though you can submit multiple requests at a time, it means your design team or dedicated designer can work on one project first. This will depend on your plan. If it’s a one-design plan, you can prioritize which project to finish first. Meanwhile, some plans let designers work on more than one design at a time.
