Hi, it’s Tara.

I wanted to drop in this quarter and tell you about something that will likely affect our trade in the future. In light of the growing discussions about AI and its impact on various industries, many have asked how it will influence Pro Image Design. While AI can’t manufacture or install signs, it does have applications in graphic design. This brings to mind a personal question: with my daughter and nephew both aspiring to careers in graphic design, what does the future hold for such roles?

Let me share my thoughts on the contrast between AI and the personalized touch of our family-owned Northern Michigan sign shop.

  1. Personal Touch and Customization: While AI tools can generate designs quickly, they often lack the personal touch and nuanced understanding of your brand. Our face-to-face consultations allow us to grasp your unique vision, values, and goals, resulting in a truly customized and meaningful design. It’s helpful when designing to know what different mediums will be used in reproduction; signs, print material, vehicle graphics, etc.
  2. Professional Expertise: Our team consists of experienced designers who bring years of industry knowledge and artistic skill to the table. We can offer insights, suggestions, and creative ideas that an AI tool might overlook, ensuring your design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also strategically effective.
  3. Quality Control: We are committed to high-quality standards. By working with us directly, you benefit from our rigorous quality control processes, ensuring your signage is not only beautiful but also durable and professional. AI-generated designs may not meet these quality benchmarks.
  4. Human Intuition and Creativity: Human designers can think outside the box and adapt to your feedback dynamically. Our creative process involves intuition and emotional intelligence, allowing us to capture the essence of your brand in ways an algorithm cannot.
  5. Relationship and Trust: Building a relationship with our sign business fosters trust and reliability. We are dedicated to your success and are here to support you throughout the entire process, from initial concept to final installation and beyond.
  6. Holistic Approach: We offer a comprehensive approach that includes not just logo design but also the integration of your logo into various sign formats, ensuring consistency and coherence across all your branding materials.
  7. Local Support and Service: Being a local business, we provide immediate and personalized support. If any adjustments or maintenance are needed, we are readily available to assist you, offering a level of service that remote AI tools simply cannot match.

Choosing to work with us ensures you receive a design that is not only visually stunning but also deeply aligned with your brand’s identity, crafted by professionals who care about your success.
