What is a sign maker?

A sign maker works to design, create, and erect signs that advertise a business. As a sign maker, you could work for shops, billboard companies, and any other entity that needs visual advertising. Some sign makers still work with paint, but most rely on graphic design programs on a computer to create and print the images and text for the sign. Your duties as a sign maker are to meet with the client, assess their needs, and produce a sign to their specifications. You can work as a freelancer or for a graphic design firm.
