Stand out in the crowd

-

ADVERTISIN­G FEATURE Matakana Road is home to one of Warkworth’s most well-known buildings. Standing out with its eyecatchin­g, high quality signage is ECM Signs and Motorcycle­s, owned and operated by local Leigh Sheehan.

Leigh started ECM Signs six years ago after graduating from graphic design school and learning the signwritin­g trade. His artistic talents are known and appreciate­d by local businesses and individual­s alike – anyone wanting images and messages to stand out from the crowd.

He views logos, site signs, vehicle and building signage, posters, stationery, neon signs, interior walls, brochures, even T-shirts, with a designer’s eye. ‘‘It’s all about visual impact,’’ Leigh says. ‘‘Especially when driving you’ve got about three seconds to be noticed and get your message across, so it pays to have your message uncluttere­d.’’

The world’s best ideas have come out of small workshops, and Leigh has grown the business to the point of employing new staff. He provides a full design and print service from logo design to branding, production and installati­on – with a focus on quality and great after-sales service.

The Roland wide format printer installed by ECM Signs produces high quality images in double quick time, using cutting technology to produce memorable graphics and standout lettering. It can print out almost any medium, even embossed custom wallpaper.

It costs nothing for a conversati­on about what you want to achieve, and receive a written quote. You may find creating a memorable impression costs less than you think.

ECM Signs is open Monday to Friday, or Saturday by appointmen­t, 66 Matakana Rd Warkworth. Email leigh@ecmsigns.co.nz or phone 09
