Testimonial:
I initially met LaMont Sledge ten years ago when we were both freelancing for a magazine. Having spent years in advertising, I was pretty familiar with graphic design and the creativity that is necessary to be successful. I was immediately impressed by LaMont's work--his creativity, use of color, and his innate ability to understand a client's needs. I started to look forward to his deadlines because I looked forward to seeing what I believed to be brilliance in creative design. When I published my own book, there was no other person that I trusted with my vision for the cover. I knew I could tell him what the book was about and give him a few 'ideas' and then get out of the way and let him work. I appreciate so much not having to hold LaMont's hand and walk him through a project (and my book was just one of many projects we've worked on together). I trust him implicitly and I believe deeply in his talent. I emailed LaMont my vision (in a very few words) and he created a beautiful artistic rendering of my beloved story. I am so proud of my book and it's cover! And I am even more proud of my brilliant friend and designer extraordinaire, LaMont Sledge!
