Once Upon A Time I Owned A Sign Shop…

…in a Galaxy far, far away… well, more like: from 1995 to 2000. During that time, I owned and operated a sign shop. I called the business Art Industries.

Signs and graphics, the Art Industries mystery machine

With Art Industries, I carved a niche with clients who demanded high-quality product with attention-grabbing designs.

During those years, we produced graphics for entire vehicle fleets. For most of these, I usually designed the graphics to complement the client’s marketing or identity. In some instances, I produced these designs from concepts I created. The execution of these designs required complex logistics, as these vehicles were normally operating as part of a fleet.

Knowledge of materials was critical to offering a product capable of withstanding the harsh conditions vehicle graphics encounter.

Some of the work included tradeshow displays and informational kiosks.

I did a lot more than shown here over the roughly five year adventure that was Art Industries. If you would like to know more about it, please contact me using the link to the right.

    nando's avatarHi, I’m Nando, and this is a collection of my work. I'm the kind of designer that concerns himself with the practicalities of execution, while pushing for innovation. Creative left-brainer, pragmatic right-brainer, I believe complex problems benefit from simple solutions, and clear communication. I use my attention to detail, empathy, and graphic design skills to help businesses define their brand and engage their target audience.
