Design

At 1 Hour Signs we design our layouts daily for our customers. We use state of the art graphic design software programs like Flexisign, Abode Illustrator and Photoshop to create these custom layouts. With some signs the cost of the layout is included in the cost of the sign but if there are more details to the layouts that we do we will charge a set labour fee an hour for this extra artwork. We can create the most simple of layouts to extremely detailed designs with graphic logos, colours, shading, shape and much more. With 25 years in design experience we have designed and created logos, artwork, package design, displays and many different signs for our customers. To show our customer’s different layouts of what their final product will look, working on the layout process with the customer before we go into production.
