Graphics Sign Maker

Types of Sign Making

Our sign makers create a variety of signs more often displayed outdoors. Smaller-scale signage, like those you see displayed in store windows or hung from business entryways, might be created entirely by hand or pieced together using both hand-building and computer graphics software. Larger signage -- Overhead Guide Signs--is typically created on a computer and cut out on a vinyl cutter and applied by hand onto the aluminum substrate.

Duties

A majority of your time as a sign maker will be spent applying vinyl or reflective legend onto aluminum substrates,  since we are primarily a traffic sign manufacturer.  However, we do create custom signs, stickers, overlays and wraps.  If working with vinyl, you'll cut and apply to a substrate made of aluminum or PVC for example.  Additional duties include proofing drafts with the customer, digital printing, working with other products and processes of the finished sign.

Skills

You'll need an understanding of mathematics as you'll be continually measuring, calculating space requirements and designing graphics and text that is both balanced and aesthetically pleasing. Strong communication skills help you to interpret and create something tangible out of a customer's ideas. You must be computer savvy as, at minimum, you'll use email software to correspond with customers and graphics software like SignCAD, AutoCAD, Flexi Sign, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to create designs.
