¤ Recommended Alternate Designers
This WAS the definitive list of Chabad graphic designers. The complete list is now available on the ShluchimDesignBase! This list is mostly comprised of designers who primarily work with Shluchim, and only those who have their own websites (why?) so you can see several samples of their work before contacting them.
