Graphic Designer Portfolio
My name is Scott Greer and I have been a professional graphic designer for 20 years. The scrolling images above reveal a small taste of the work I've been involved in and the experience I've developed in that time.
Everything from Business Owner, Signage, Web Design, Vehicle Graphics, Print Media, CAD Drawings, Advertising, Installation, Logo Designs, Sales, Custom Work and more.
I currently split my time working for Verizon to help set blocks up in the New York area with FIOS. I take photos, measurements and even contact people of the locations still in need. I then draw them up on the computer in CAD formats. The installers then use that information and are able to finally help these blocks get access to FIOS.
I also work as a freelance graphic designer, focusing mostly on book cover designs. As a writer myself, looking to publish my own first novel, I recently became interested in book covers which helped in the creation of this site. Helping other young authors is a great feeling and a quality book cover is proven to help it sell.
Below is a full gallery of my work, a link to my former business www.Signtificsign.com which I helped create and was partner of for a decade and my official resume.

I have been studying the art of Graphic Design since I was as child. This photo shows me working on the Hofstra University Scoreboard for the Football Field. I was also a student at Hofstra and created signage across campus.
After graduating college, I started this business with my partner Nick and ran the company for a decade. It is still in operation today and has done work for Hofstra, Chase Bank, Nissan, Ford, Kia, Volvo and much more. Visit SigntificSign.com for more information.
In addition to graphic design work, I have spent several years helping Verizon FIOS get set up throughout all of New York City with detailed CAD drawings. The drawings and measurements are a key step in Verizon's mission to improve their available service cables for all of New York.
I have also written a novel which is still in the process of finalizing. What began as a hobby has slowly grown into my new passion. Writing and book cover designs are enjoyable and bring two of my greatest skills together. I now offer custom and pre-made cover designs while I work on writing my own novels.

Raised Letters & Panels
Signage with Raised Letters and Layered Panels helps gives an extra dimension to the design and stand out among the rest of the competition. Whether with gold letters, digital graphics, metal panels and more, each design was different.
