“Raul Mercado at X-Y Graphics helped me develop and execute a variable data direct mail campaign. He did an outstanding job of incorporating our ideas and was responsive at each step of the process. I would heartily recommend Raul for any business printing/media project.”  June 2009

“Raul has done a couple of things for me. He created my office logo, business cards and signage. He listened to my ideas and came up with some of his own. He is easy to work with and as a client, I feel I have a say in what happens. He works off your ideas and creates something new and innovative. Recently, Raul helped me, from start to finish, to build out a new dental office from scratch in 2007. Before I even signed a lease, I wanted to make sure Raul would be able to help. That's how much I value his work. Honestly, I probably would not have done it if I knew he wouldn't be available to be my project manager for this new office. He came up with amazing concepts and designs. He was there to follow up with the city, the contractor, and the different vendors. Basically, he was my right hand man. We have been open in this new office for a year now, and I still get comments from patients and people who visit about how beautiful the office is. I owe a lot of it to Raul. I highly recommend Raul. You will not be sorry if you hire him.” -June 2009

“I recently engaged with X-Y Graphics to design and produce invitations to a celebration for my association. Raul Mercado worked with me to come up with relevant content and designed a superlative invitation within my budget constraints. He has also designed flyers for other events we have promoted. I recommend X-Y Graphics without hesitiation and will use it in the future for any graphic design needs I have.” June 2009

“Raul is a talented Designer. He did a concept and design for my Theatre company logo and two different versions of a publicity postcard for our production of Les Miserables. He is very easy to work with, and welcomes feedback. I was extremely happy with the logo; it was innovative and incorporated our name wonderfully. He takes pride in his work and it’s evident in the final product. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a Graphic Designer.”  -May 2009

"Raul is thorough and very professional, as well as personable. He takes the time to listen to what your vision is and translates that into an artwork!

The result of his designs are exceptional. With an architect background, he can assist with designing (dental) offices as he incorporates his skills and knowledge in graphic designing. He also has much experience dealing w/ contractors. I highly recommend him." July 2008

"I've worked with Raul as business partners. Where he is my Creative Director--both in concept and graphics--since he has an extensive architectural project management background, he can handle both people and graphic projects with ease.

In graphics--he has a creative sense in making the project come alive--regardless of color, photo, forms, logos, etc. Both me and my clients were able to communicate our desires to him and he would hit the "sweet spot" by bring the project into budget and on time." March 2008
