About

Please allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Gary Sylvester and my company is SLYART, a full-service design agency created to promote your company’s image and message to your audience.

I am the owner and director of SLYART. I base my services on creativity, balance, and direction. When it comes to first impressions there are no second chances. Consumers make split-second decisions, which is why a first impression should be bold, unforgettable, and completely representative of the face the world sees. I have been involved in the advertising and design fields for over 30 years. I take pride in each and every project I delve into. My design experience has allowed me the opportunity to work on a wide array of diverse projects.

SLYART works with numerous associates and vendors to provide clients with the support they need for their business image and can provide any form of design, graphics, or advertising project they require.

You may be planning a marketing program. Have you considered the design and production of the collateral? Have you considered who you will entrust your image to produce it? Are you planning a logo update, advertising campaign, annual report, or brochure for services? SLYART will provide quality services to complete any project in a timely and cost-efficient manner.

SLYART will assist you in the understanding of producing your project that will target your specific audience. The promotion could be minimal or extremely extensive. My experience has created programs for large financial institutions as well as small start-up companies and everyone in between.

Business promotions survive on their branding. This is how the world sees your business and you must make a strong impression. Effective collateral design and a clear message has proven to be most effective and enhance business.

Whether you want to be trendy or traditional, simple or complex, being functional and properly branded is key. You must portray your business as confident, secure, and consistent. My goal is to provide you with concepts through completion, to fit your needs and budget to give your company the support it requires to succeed.

I will guide you through the entire process and provide you with a detailed estimate for the work to be performed to fully understand the magnitude of the project. My overhead is minimal which keeps cost in mind and beats out the competition.
