The Story of Image Graphics

Mark Averitt

I’ve spent my entire adult life continually learning and keeping up with design and visual marketing. I’m primarily self-taught through hours of training videos, online courses, design books, etc. 

A longtime member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals), I have also attended Signlab University (advanced training classes for sign software) and completed PDAA training (Professional Decal Application Association). I am certified as an approved installer for warranty purposes by these vinyl manufacturers; 3M, Avery, Arlon, Mactac, and Oracal. Officially endorsed by 3M as a vehicle graphics installer, I have achieved level 4 (of 4), meaning I’m certified for the most difficult vehicle wrap installations. I also attended a formal wrap installation school at 3M in Minnesota.

My hobbies including marketing, advertising, motorcycle touring, kayaking, fishing, and camping, but most of all, I enjoy spending time with my wife Betty Jo and trying my best to deliver the best customer service possible each day. 

Betty Jo Averitt

Betty Jo is the force that drives Image Graphics. Her duties include day to day accounting, inventory control, writing estimates and bids, answering the phone, installing graphics, running both a 60″ plotter as well as a 60″ laminator, cutting all vinyl, and above all keeping Mark on track (which alone is a full-time job). Betty Jo has also been certified by PDAA as an approved installer for all brands of vinyl. Most importantly, she greets everyone with a smile and always works to get every detail correct.

Allison Averitt

Allison graduated from Fayetteville State University (two years early) with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Marketing. She designed her first website for a paying client at 14 and has worked as a graphic designer for several small companies in N.C. Allison was also a marketing intern for the Small Business Technology & Development Center. She has experience designing logos, websites, brochures, posters, mailers, vehicle wraps, and more. She infuses her unique design magic into every marketing piece she creates! I think she’s amazingly talented, and not just because she is my daughter!

Kramer Averitt

Carrying on the tradition of Cyrus, the original company mascot who was a 203-pound English mastiff, Kramer has big shoes to fill but is a great presence at the shop. If you pet him, or even better throw a tennis ball for him, you’ll make a friend for life. (Allison’s pitching arm sometimes needs a rest from throwing all the balls and she needs that arm to work on her designs). Kramer doesn’t do any installations but mainly focuses on customer service with a smile and a wag. 

Donnie Parker

Donnie has over 20 years of experience running his own sign shop and brings an excellent work ethic, a thorough knowledge of SignLab, and a very keen eye for design. He helps us offer sandblasted redwood signs as well as on-site sign installation. Donnie is also helps us keep our backlog of work to manageable levels.

Donnie is also a well-known professional wrestler under the name Timber the Insane Lumberjack. He has wrestled with the WWE and was the CWA heavyweight champion. (We thought about putting Donnie in charge of collecting past due accounts).
