Every project is quoted before it starts. Prices are per issue (or per brochure or catalogue): in US dollars for clients outside India, in rupees for clients in India. Two rounds of revisions are included. They are starting prices: a 32-page issue of dense financial tables costs more than a 32-page issue of photography, and we will tell you which yours is before you commit.
What the price covers
- Cover design, including alternates to choose from
- A grid and type system for the issue, reusable in later issues
- Full layout of every page, cover to back
- Colour correction and cropping on your supplied photographs
- Charts redrawn from your figures where the issue needs them
- Two rounds of revisions after the first full proof
- Print-ready PDF, web-optimised PDF, and social cover images
- A web edition on Standard, Flagship and Book projects: the issue as a mobile web page with real text, video, links and a reader report (an add-on on smaller projects)
What it does not cover
Original writing
We edit, cut to fit, and rewrite headings and captions. We do not write features from scratch, except on the personal branding retainer, where drafting from your recorded call is the service.
Photography
You supply the images, from your own library or your own photographer. We treat what you send.
Print buying
You receive a press-ready PDF. A printer local to you will beat anything we could arrange remotely.
Font licensing
Where your brand requires a licensed typeface, the licence is bought in your name, not ours.
Revisions beyond the second round
Quoted separately rather than absorbed quietly — it is the only way the first price stays honest.
Regular issues
If you publish quarterly, the first issue is the expensive one. It buys a grid, a type system and a set of templates that every later issue reuses. That is why issues booked together cost less: ten per cent off list for a quarterly, fifteen for a bi-monthly and twenty for a monthly.
It also fixes the thing that actually kills periodicals, which is not cost but momentum. A booked slot in the calendar is the difference between four issues a year and one.
Regular issues are invoiced per issue, not up front, and can be stopped after any issue. We would rather keep the work by doing it well.
Paying us
Quoted against a written scope: in US dollars for clients outside India, in rupees in India. Fifty per cent to start, the balance before final files are released. Bank transfer, with details on the invoice.
There is no subscription, no per-page charge and nothing that renews on its own. You commission an issue, you pay for that issue, you own the files.
Questions about any of this before enquiring are welcome at magz@digi.ai.in. The process page covers timing and revisions.
Questions about price
What is a web edition, and what does it cost?
The same issue as a mobile web page: text that fits any phone without zooming, video and links that work, swipeable galleries, and a reader report showing opens, how far people read and time spent. It is included on Standard, Flagship and Book projects, so on annual reports and company magazines; on smaller projects it is an add-on at US$99 (₹6,000 in India).
Do you make the social media posts for the issue?
Yes, as an Issue launch kit: about 10 posts made from the issue in its own design, in the author's name and voice: a cover reveal for the feed and stories, a LinkedIn carousel of the main idea, quote cards, a chart card and a WhatsApp card, with suggested captions. It is US$99 (₹6,000 in India) per issue, and included in our personal branding retainer.
How much does magazine design cost?
For clients outside India, from US$249 for an 8–12 page personal magazine to US$1,290 for a 40–60 page flagship issue; a 24–32 page company magazine starts at US$749. Agencies in the US, UK and Europe typically charge two to five times as much. In India the same work starts at ₹8,000.
Why is it cheaper to have a magazine designed in India?
Studio costs in Pune are a fraction of London or New York, not the quality of the work. You get the same InDesign files, print-ready PDFs and two revision rounds, and because we work while you sleep, proofs are often waiting in your inbox in the morning.
Is the price per page or per issue?
Per issue. Each price covers a band of pages, so a 28-page issue and a 32-page issue cost the same. The exact figure is fixed in a written quote before any work starts.
Do repeat issues cost less?
Yes. Issues booked together cost less because the first one builds the grid and templates: 10% off list for a quarterly, 15% for a bi-monthly and 20% for a monthly. Each issue is invoiced on its own and you can stop after any issue.
What does the price include?
Cover design with alternates, a reusable grid and type system, full layout of every page, colour correction on your photographs, charts redrawn from your figures, two rounds of revisions, and print-ready and web PDFs.
How do clients abroad pay?
Fifty per cent to start and the balance before the final files are released, by international bank transfer (invoiced in US dollars). Clients in India pay in rupees by bank transfer. There is no subscription and nothing renews on its own.
