What They Say

Like a mad scientist concocting devious potions and elixirs in his underground hideaway, Joel at The Graphics Laboratory, mixes together the essence of design with the eye of newt to capture the curious mind of the innocent passerby. One glance at his artwork, and one is instantly compelled to draw closer. Before they know it, they simply can't look away, and it is in that instant that they hear the sinister laugh of the creator, and they know they've been a victim of... The Graphics Lab.

I have been working with Joel and The Graphics Lab for about 18 months now. Joel does great work, is very creative in his recommendations, and is quick to turn around the jobs. He has not only simplified my design and print process, but has saved me money along the way. Joel is my "go to" guy for designs and printing. I highly recommend The Graphics Lab!

I’ve known Joel for years and have collaborated with him on many branding projects. I have entrepreneurial vision and branding ideas and Joel makes them happen in a creative and professionally-designed way every time.

The Graphics Lab has the ability to take the vision in my head and make it an attractive reality. I gave some examples of logos that I liked, and then my vision for my company, and The Graphics Lab truly captured the heart and identity of my business.

Joel is more than a graphic designer, he is a strategic business partner. He listens to understand my needs and then collaborates to help find the best solution. He thinks outside the box, creates custom images as needed, and the end result is a professional high quality product. Very happy with the many print, web, and marketing material he has produced for Herring Gas over the years.

The creative output of Joel and The Graphics Lab never ceases to amaze and thrill me. I’ve used The Graphics Lab multiple times over the years, and designs are consistently on-time and delightful. I highly recommend Joel for your branding needs.
