How to assure a successful design?
It really matters… designing to always inspire success for your business.
NGS sign service is Design Based, meaning it never underestimates the power of good design.
In the video above I talk about the typographic fine tuning that is a natural part of our process but marks me out as a writer who makes every sign link to its immediate surroundings by style and local culture.
For it to succeed it has to speak the right visual language.
PENCIL SKETCHED AND CAD DESIGN
I always start design ideas with your concept and creative input… just email what you have in mind and we can develop a great theme together.
I often start designing with a pencil sketch and make it fit your expectations. Using photoshop for final visuals whenever needed. The combination is perfect.
Fun, quirky ideas often become beautifully sophisticated final pieces.
The power of our DESIGN based culture
By getting your sign designed fine tuned absolutely right you will gain huge benefit not just in strengthening raw turnover, but in clarifying what you are all about – but that’s just the starter. Great signs add identity an a number of ways.
- Your brand emotion
- High Street ID
- Vibrance
- Traffic – getting people through yr door
- Crossover – creating logos that can be used across all platforms
- Budget – we figure this out with you
- Culture – deeper understanding of your message
- Stay On-Trend
POWERFUL DESIGN SELLS YOUR PRODUCTS
For any designer embarking on a brand ID project it is a journey based on helping the client help themselves establish their message and ethos.
Great Sign design also projects some precious ambitions – going into new fields and levels.
It’s all possible.

FAQ
Here are answers to some of the more common questions asked – if you do not find the information you are seeking please do not hesitate to contact us and I will be happy to assist.
Q. How do we get started?
I will usually ask you for some photos of the job location, deadline and JPG of the design you require – I then create a visual and costings in 12-24hrs. If you need a design created I can do that along the lines of what you like, want, need. Just ask and I’ll do my best!
Remember your name is important but you must say exactly what you do in order to gain success from your new sign concept.
Q. What file type should I be sending for output/design?
JPG is the most common file type although almost any file type can be utilised such as jpeg, tiff, eps, pdf, ai, psd, dxf, dwg and many more.
Q. What size and resolution should my artwork be?
Artwork should be at least 72dpi and a maximum of 300dpi at full size if your artwork for instance is half size it should be twice the final desired output resolution.
How long will I have to wait for my order?
We usually can turn round most of our clients requirements in a week or two dependant on the brief. If a tight deadline is required please contact us and we will endeavour to meet your requirements. Always state your expected delivery, collection or fitting date on your order.
What do I do if I am unsure of my requirements?
I am always happy to help and advise on all aspects of your requirements. I can arrange a site survey. Remember always ask and I will always advise whether asked or not on the best visual solution and most cost effective your job requires.
Is there a minimum order cost or a minimum quantity requirement?
In a word no, although a minimum call out of 140.00 does apply to small one-off works.
Do I need to get a professional to create artwork or drawings?
We can produce your every design wish from either a sketch, vocal brief or existing artwork – on some complex projects we recommend several graphic designers who can also assist. NGS can create layouts, logos or 3D, autoCad, technical drawings either from scratch or amend existing artwork or ideas.
Does NGS only operate in the UK?
NGS can work pretty much anywhere in the world. We use international carriers and have experienced crews to travel to any continent.
… any other questions just let me know. Nick Garrett
