Ad Artists & Designers

Although some advertisers design and create their own ads, most use the services of professional artists. Although such artists typically charge $50 or more per hour, the results are generally worth it. Not only do they free the advertiser to concentrate on managing his or her business, but their ad tends to be more effective -- and that more than pays for the cost of their fee.

Here are several small firms that have done a lot of the ads that have appeared in Skydiving over the years. We enjoy working with all, as they consistently provide us with truly plate-ready or computer-ready materials on time. They are certainly not the only good artists who know the sport, but their good track records mean we can recommend them without hesitation. (We don't know anything about their fees, as we've never hired any of them to do work for us.)

Another option is to hire Skydiving to produce your ads, especially simpler ones that might not otherwise make a fast-approaching deadline.
