Design Mart's two marker series, Journeys Remembered and Thy Victory & Thy Promise are now available in the Online Monument Designer.

All designs may be viewed in various colors of granite, names and dates may be added, and designs may be modified. Users may print or email a color rendering for approval, and then send the finished CAD file straight to the granite supplier to be cut and blasted - thus eliminating the need for long waits for approval drawings.

Until now, online monument designers could only create color pictures, which must be redrawn by CAD artists at your manufacturer. Design Mart has removed the unnecessary wait for approval drawings to be returned to the retailer by allowing users to create a color image, which is actually a production-ready CAD file for cutting sandblast stencil.

Another unique feature is the ability to change and display the side and top of the monument rather than only displaying the front. These photo-realistic renderings may be changed to display polished, steeled/sawed or rock pitch tops and sides on monuments as well as bases. Polished margins may also be added to bases as seen in the image above.

Users may easily access hundreds of preformatted designs from popular Design Mart series including Precious Memories, A Closer Walk, Ties That Bind, and more.

There are also hundreds of blank monument shapes and more than 3,500 design components for users to create their own designs or edit popular preformatted designs. Monument projects may be saved and opened later if changes are required or if a user wants to access a monument again for another client. It is easy to change granite colors, background images and export a color picture which may be viewed in any web browser or photo viewer.

Journeys Remembered helps retailers and their clients select and personalize monuments without confusion and delays. Each page of the book features markers as well as carvings identified by number. This identification system, as well as a carving directory in the back and size specifications for each monument, helps with estimates and ordering. The Journeys Remembered book/catalog is an 11" x 8 1/2", soft cover, 40 page book with 79 flat/lawn level markers, bevel markers and slant markers on blue/gray, pink, red, and black granite. Each page of the book features alternate sizes for markers (usually three size options) and also contains a symbolism guide that explains the carvings found on each monument -- helping create truly meaningful memorials.

All designs are available via email or CD as well as via the Online Monument Designer. Sandblast ready files are available for all CAD and illustration applications including Gerber, Corel Draw, MonuCad, Flexisign, Signlab, Casmate, AutoCad, Illustrator and more.

Thy Victory & Thy Promise D685 - D734 also features markers as well as carvings identified by number. This identification system, as well as a carving directory in the back and size specifications for each monument, helps with estimates and ordering. The Thy Victory & Thy Promise book/catalog is an 11" x 8 1/2", soft cover, 28 page book with 45 flat/lawn level markers, bevel markers and slant markers. Each page of the book features alternate sizes for markers (usually three size options).
