Richard Forton, from Dimar Expressions, did an outstanding job on the graphics for my advertisements as well as designing my logo. He was easy to work with, and I think the best part of working with him was that he was prompt in his correspondence. Without a doubt, I would recommend him for your graphic design needs. More...

Dick is an honest man and a gifted artist who truly cares about his customers and providing a good value. I use branded folders and needed to have more printed. I asked Dick if he had any suggestions for changes, and what he came up with was significantly better than what I was using. Same thing when I ran out of letterhead, he came up with a design that was way better than what I was using. I highly recommend Dick Forton with DiMar Exressions! More...

Barbara C. Ferrer
Outstanding! Prompt! Excellent Services! I truly feel Blessed in doing business with Dimar Expression. My Order was done fast! My reason for getting rid of my former graphic designer was because it took him 3 months to work on my logo and it would have taken longer to make changes. However, Dimar Expression completed my order at a faster-expected pace :) and Wounderfully Cleaned Up My Logo. I found the right Co. & I am Thankful for Dimar's Customer Satisfaction, it was Guaranteed! More...

Dwight Gookin
I first did business with Dick Forton in 1985 and have given him all of my business ever since. Dick's 1st priority is customer satisfaction which shows in his person to person communication, getting the final product right and in the shortest time possible. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like Dick. More...

Describe your creative process.
As a full service graphic design company I am pleased to offer you a wide range of professional design and printing services.
“From Design To Finished Product” is more than just a slogan. It means that I specialize in creating a meaningful and lasting impression for your personal or business needs.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
By working closely with you and by understanding your needs and goals, I am able to create an appropriate image to represent you or your company. A professionally designed and properly executed logo or identity package can make the difference between a good and bad impression. It may include questions about your business, about your competitors, and other questions that might help me to come up with the best image for you.
What do you love most about your job?
Once I understand what the customer does and what they are trying to accomplish, I love being creative and giving the project my best for them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Ever since I was a kid I loved doing creative things. I didn't want to punch a time-card and answer to a boss as he kept most of the income so I thought by letting the customer be my boss I would have more control over what I could make. I enjoyed getting paid for doing what I love to do. Being creative is only limited by the imagination. I love it when I can design something that improves the customer's chances of success.
Why should our clients choose you?
My goal is to meet – and hopefully exceed – your expectations. Also, to help you come up with something that will: Confirm your credibility, Connect target prospects emotionally and Motivate the buyer.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Being a graphic designer I can usually provide the designs by email. If they end up being quite large files I can Zip them or use another way to provide them. I can also take care of any printing and have it shipped to the customer.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Because I deal mostly remotely, I have not had to make any changes to keep people safe from Covid-19.
