Sherri of Surreal Graphics brought a wealth of knowledge to my project of self-publishing a children’s book. I honestly don’t think the project would have happened without her expertise and patience. She took the time to walk me through every step of the process and paid attention to the littlest detail. Above and beyond being a qualified professional, Sherri was an absolute delight to work with. She was immensely supportive. Her good nature and authentic, charismatic nature came through even though we only communicated via email. I will use Surreal Graphics for all my future graphic design needs. Thank you, Sherri!

Sherri is a master of her craft. She designed the logo for a new company that I was starting. I had no idea what I wanted. She came in with a few options that were out of the box with details and expression. I am so happy with her work. I get compliments all the time on how creative my logo is. Her ability to grasp our vision — designing logos and specialty graphics — is a tricky business and we need our graphic designer to understand what we are looking for without a plethora of revisions.

1 STAR?!?! WHAT?!!
Why are they putting a review for 1 star on their Home page?
That’s easy! We wanted you to stop and read this part … When you work with us, YOU are the boss!
We have never been given a one-star, but if we had, you can bet we would work really hard to fix it!
And we will work hard to earn your FIVE STARS!

I asked Sherri at Surreal Graphics for help to design ticket jackets, or document holders for my travel business. She was very quick to understand what I had in mind and to put together a couple of suggestions for me. We took it from there, she was able to use almost all my own travel photos in the design, and we were done! The result is beautiful and I could not have asked for better service. I highly recommend Surreal Graphics for your project.

I contacted Sherri at Surreal Graphics for help creating a new logo and image for my business. Sherri took the time to get to know exactly what I was looking for so I could represent myself the way I wanted to but did not know how. She is a joy to work with, very patient and has lots of wonderful ideas and insights to share. I am extremely happy with my new logo and business cards she designed too. I have suggested her to my collogues for the same and would highly recommend her services

Sherri has done several graphic design projects for me over the past few years. She most recently designed my email signature and made technical suggestions on how to link several of my service websites to it. It looks and works great! I enjoy Sherri’s expertise and her talent shines! She is a pleasure to work with.

Things you didn’t ask, but we’ll answer

Over the years, we get asked many questions, so here are our answers — even though you didn’t ask, you are probably thinking about it!

First off, congrats on your new adventure! It is scary to start a new business — and a lot of work — but we hope some of the information we provide you here will help you out. 
Obviously, you have already given your business name a lot of thought, and if not, do THAT first.
We’re going to put a link here that will direct you to the Government of Canada’s website that provides steps to starting a business LINK.

We are going to give you some “heads up” stuff that we have provided too many people who we have helped get their business going.

  • Purchase your domain name through a registrar and NOT a website host provider (we recommend Namespro).
  • If you want to look professional, purchase a Business Gmail Account! This will allow you to have an email with your business name — people want to feel like their are in the hands of a professional … and emailing “janedoe@hotmail.com” doesn’t make you look professional. So purchase a professional email!!
  • Set-up a Google My Business Profile account! If you don’t have one, you are invisible to potential clients. It is free! It does take a bit to set-up, but a Google My Business Profile will allow you to get clients to give YOU five stars on your Google page!

Those a just a few things you should do, but a VERY IMPORTANT thing you need to do is remember to take some “me time!” It can get overwhelming when you are a small business owner, so please remember to be mindful of your time — make sure you take self-care time!

Depends when this question is asked! LOL
Creative time can be early in the morning (after coffee … several cups of coffee) or it can be early in the afternoon (after dipping into the secret stash of chocolate in the filing cabinet) … or at 2:20 a.m. when Ryan Reynolds is about to propose to our senior designer and a design pops into the dream and she has to get up and sketch out the idea (that’s the only reason she hasn’t accept Ryan’s proposal … because, she gets woken up … yep, that’s the only reason …)
Joking aside, it can take a couple of weeks of creative doodling, then drawing out mockups, then narrowing down the final design! So make sure you give enough time to allow the creativity to work its magic!

  • Make sure you are on the social media platforms that your potential clients use. 
  • Facebook posts should educate; Instagram posts/reels show behind the scene of your business; TikTok is to entertain and showcase YOU.
  • Ask friends and family to like and share your posts! Remind them you are a small business owner and them “liking and sharing” your social media posts will help get you free exposure!
  • Ask your clients for REVIEWS! That is why it is important to have a Google My Business Profile! You can send a link to your clients after they have purchased your product/service and they can leave their reviews! And THAT is the best way to get your name out there!

Well, depends on the project! We recommend you reach out to us with what you are looking for, and we will provide you with a flat rate for the project.

How long have ya got?
You name it — we do it! If by chance we don’t do it, we will tell you and we have been known to offer up suggestions where you can get it done!
All you have to do is ask!
