Design
Expertise and Giant Graphics for Signage
You
need signage. You want it with style. You want full-service
design consultation and expertise. Do you want full-color
graphics as well? You need to talk to Garside Display.
Garside
Displays designs and manufactures signs, posters and displays
of all sizes. Their specialty is award-winning large format
graphics that show a flare for design. For 45 years they've
been pleasing customers around Victoria, and they're always
happy to help someone new.
Garside
Displays can make signage and display materials for almost
any purpose. They frequently do work for government, private
businesses, property management companies, and advertising
and design firms. Some of their clients have included the
Royal BC Museum, BC Ferries, Pacific Coast Savings and Copeland
Communications.
Owner George Anderson is candid on Garside's strengths.
"We're noted for high quality work at a fair price,"
says Anderson. "When you see us, you can see you're
getting the best product possible. We have experienced staff
with real design expertise, and we use the best technology."
Their
technology included large format, 54 inch wide full-color
printer, laminator to match, and the latest in vinyl-cutting
equipment for creating signs, banners, posters, displays,
decals, vehicle lettering and more. They also have equipment
for making sandblasted wooden signs and three-dimensional
lettering.
"Many people imagine sign makers as people who are
painting lettering and images by hand," says Anderson,
"But it's virtually not done anymore. Just about everything
is automated and computerized, and innovations such as vinyl
lettering have made for more durable signage."
Garside
Displays provides customers with full-service on every project.
They discuss the customer's signage needs with them and
how their signage fits into their overall communication
plan or image. Then they confirm the specific mediums or
signage products that will be employed.
When the customer requires design services, Garside also
creates drafts and develops them to the client's satisfaction.
Garside tries to address every customer concern and question
before the signage is sent to production. "No one wants
to be disappointed," says Anderson, "We want happy
customers who leave with the quality sign or poster they
expected."Scanning
and typesetting are both part of Garside's services.
"Only
a few sign shops are heading in the direction of scanning
and full-color imaging," says Anderson. "It requires
a tremendous investment in computers and equipment, as well
as staff and training. Most of the new technologies have
steep learning curves to master them. That's where we excel
at Garside Displays - our staff are technically proficient,
and our equipment is on the cutting edge."
By being a leader in quality, expertise and technology,
Garside has been chosen to create some of the most widely
seen signage around Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island.
Garside signs and lettering appear throughout both the BC
super ferries, and the Royal BC Museum's Leonardo da Vinci
and Whales exhibits both used Garside's signage. Garside
signs also provided signage for the Commonwealth Games in
1994.
In the shop, Garside employs six designers and sign makers.
Two of them are second generation sign makers, and all of
them have worked their way up the signage business to become
multi-skilled.
The
demands of our business require that everyone in the shop
can do everything, explains Anderson. "So when a customer
talks to us, they get experienced advice and service no
matter who they meet with."
Garside's design expertise has been officially recognized
by the Graphic Designers of Canada. In 1995, the GDC presented
Garside displays with a Creative Award for signage.
"We have a big emphasis on design in our shop,"
says Anderson. "we have experienced designers who are
designers and sign makers first, computer people second.
They enjoy injecting fresh ideas into any project they're
allowed to, so many of our customers have looked to them
for direction at times."
Garside commands the niche in graphic design and production
technology, and Anderson/s goal is to stay true to their
strongest suits as they move into the new millennium. "We're
not the only sign shop in Victoria, so we want to make ourselves
the preferred choice for customers. We'll create that preferred
status by continuing to show our creativity and by staying
current with the best of the new technologies."
