Zachary Meints's Review Sourced from Google
We worked with GROUNDWRK to build our new company website, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Randall and his team were highly involved throughout the entire process and really guided us every step of the way. They brought ideas to the table that we hadn’t even considered, which made the final product stronger than we initially envisioned. Since launching the site last month, we’ve had multiple clients reach out specifically to comment on it, and we’ve seen a noticeable uptick in client inquiries. We’re very happy with the result and would absolutely recommend them.

I recently worked with Laguna Digital for a complete print-marketing project, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish the team was professional, responsive and clearly experts in what they do. They helped me select the right materials, gave thoughtful design suggestions, and the finished prints turned out vibrant, crisp and exactly what I had hoped for.

I recently brought some of my old watercolor paintings to Laguna Digital Printing, and I couldn’t believe how beautifully they turned out! Their team scanned and reprinted them with incredible color accuracy — even the tiny brush details looked perfect. The staff was super friendly and really cared about preserving my work. I’m so happy I trusted them with my art!

Chris Henderson's Review Sourced from Google
I took the leap to join the program, and it is better than expected. A LOT of valuable content that walks you through how to set your entire empire up, step by step. There have been some times I felt like quitting and giving up. BUT, i stuck with it, and all of the pieces are coming together how they should. It speaks to the future you that you want to become when you just grind and focus on building this business with LMA. It is literally the best program I've done. With 1:1 mentorship from people who have actually built an online business before, you can't fail. You can only fail if you choose to give up and walk away. Thanks LMA for this valuable course. It really has helped me transform my thinking about myself and my future. Can't wait to drive that lambo!!

I hate to leave this review but this company has hired a third party "cold call" email service that has been harassing me for months, including emails for services from the Launch Agency. Maybe if their clients start getting bad reviews, they will stop spaming those of us who never asked to be on this god awful list.

View All Reviews
Logo design usually costs between $1,000 to $2,500
Website design ranges from $5,000 to $200,000
Brochures or social assets often fall between $500 and $2,500+
Packaging design ranges from $300 to $50,000
Full branding projects typically cost $16,000 to $63,000
For ongoing work, many graphic design companies use monthly retainers:
Basic support starts between $500 and $1,000
Mid-level support ranges from $1,000 and $3,000
More advanced, high-volume design work costs $3,000 to $5,000+ per month
Specialized design work, such as product or technical design, comes at a higher cost:
Mechanical design projects range from $5,000 to $10,000
Prototyping starts at $2,000 and increases based on complexity
How many revisions do graphic design projects typically include?
Most graphic design projects include a limited number of revision rounds, usually one to three, built into the original price.
These revisions include small adjustments, such as tweaking text, colors, or layout details. They help refine the design, not change the concept entirely.
If you request more rounds or major changes after that, designers typically charge extra, often using their hourly rate.
What is the typical turnaround time for graphic design firms?
Most graphic design projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the type of work and its complexity.
Simple assets, such as social media graphics or ads, are completed in 1 to 6 days.
Print materials such as brochures often take around 5 to 12 days.
Larger projects, such as web or app design, can take up to 6 weeks.
The timeline also depends on how clear your brief is and how fast you give feedback. Most timelines already include up to three rounds of revisions, so delays usually happen when feedback is slow or the scope keeps changing.
What file formats do graphic design agencies deliver?
Graphic design firms deliver files in different formats, so you can use the designs across print and digital channels without issues.
They usually provide two main types of files:
Vector files (scalable and editable) are used for logos and brand assets because they can be resized without losing quality:
AI: The original working file, fully editable
EPS: Standard format for professional printing
SVG: Used for websites and digital interfaces
PDF: Ready for sharing or printing final designs
Raster files (pixel-based) are used for photos and digital visuals where exact detail matters:
PNG: High quality with a transparent background
JPG/JPEG: Smaller files, best for web and previews
TIFF: Large, high-quality files for print
Some projects also include working files, such as PSDs for Photoshop designs or GIFs for simple animations.
All files are usually organized, so you can easily use them for websites, social media, or print materials without extra adjustments.
Can you edit the files that graphic design firms deliver?
You can edit graphic design files only if the agency provides editable formats and gives you the right to use them. In most cases, agencies deliver final files that are ready to use but not easy to change. Editable working files are often shared only if agreed upon in advance.
Files you can edit (if you have the right software):
AI, EPS, SVG: You can edit logos, shapes, and layouts
PSD, INDD: You can edit text, images, and layers
Canva files: You can edit directly in the browser
Editable PDFs: You can make basic text or image changes
Files that are suitable for use, not editing, include:
JPG, PNG: You cannot change text or layout
Flattened PDFs: Elements are locked into one layer
Outlined text files: Text becomes shapes and cannot be edited
Graphic design companies limit the availability of editable files for practical reasons. Some assets, like fonts or images, are licensed and cannot be transferred. Working files also reflect the designer’s internal process, so the agency doesn’t always include them.
If you need full control, you must define that requirement early. Ask for working files or specific formats in the contract. Otherwise, you will need the original graphic designers to make future changes.
Who owns the copyright: a graphic design agency or a client?
By default, the graphic design agency retains copyright until it transfers it to the client under a contract.
In most cases, ownership depends on what is agreed upon in writing:
Full ownership transfer: The client gets full copyright and can use, edit, and distribute the design without limits.
License-only: The agency retains copyright, and the client receives permission to use the design under specific terms (e.g., limited use or channels).
Partial rights: The client can use the design, but the agency retains certain rights, including the right to use it in its portfolio.
Even when ownership is transferred, some elements may still be restricted. Fonts, stock images, or third-party assets often come with their own licenses.
Without a clear contract, graphic design studios usually retain control, and clients have only limited usage rights.
