About Us
Signs of Design was formed in 1995 by the principal after a career serving in executive positions at Fortune 500 corporations and as Chief Executive of a venture capital-backed startup. Graphic design experience covers a whole spectrum of design services for companies in both the manufacturing and service sectors. For example, designs have been created for Warner Brothers (Lethal Weapon 4 promotional material), Cable News Network (Cold War series) and the American Institute of Architects. Newspapers have been designed for Belleville and Bloomfield, NJ. Locally, designs have been created for Wayne Manor (catering), Packanack Lake (75 Anniversary Journal) and the Ramapo Bank (now Valley National Bank). Chemical manufacturers include Medical Chemical Corporation and Nottingham Corporation (since acquired).
While most graphic designers charge by the hour, quotes are usually bid fix price. This is possible because new clients are normally provided with a free consultation followed by creation of a sample design (prototype) for approval, all with no obligation. By doing so, the client sees the specific design responsive to its needs and the designer has an idea of the work scope involved. Samples of completed work are always available for review. Recent web site designs can been viewed at http://www.ourhousenj.org, a corporation serving the developmentally disabled; an event planner web site for charity, incentive-based and other events at http://www.cdkevents.com/; an internet site for selling professional photographs at http://www.hokinsphotography.com, , and http://www.packanack.com, a church web site.
Associations with Internet Service Providers (ISP) for the provision of web site services are available. Site design, maintenance, updates and domain name registration are also available. Similar relationships have been formed with printers for print media design for the provision of turn-key printer services such as file preparation, proof reviews and solving printer-related problems that can arise, all to insure a quality print job for the client
