Brochure Design : J. Richard Liston, PhD Pre-College Mentoring

Dr. Richard Liston, President of Sphere College, needed a brochure quickly for his college mentoring services. Liston, a seasoned educator, is offering pre-college mentoring for prospective college students in order to help them craft application letters, find volunteer opportunities, and do other things that will get them higher on the application process for quality educational institutions.

The client required a brochure as soon as possible, as he is trying to go full forth with marketing efforts of this unique service. I was able to turn this around in an evening.

If I can create a quality brochure in a few hours, imagine the designs I can do for your business with a more flexible schedule. Ed Roper Photo & Design provides full-service design and photography services for small to medium-sized businesses as well as non-profits.

Got my name in the paper, for good reasons

For those who don’t know me, I’ve been getting quite involved locally in the revitalization movement of Phoenixville. There are many who feel, myself included, that the revitalization progress has stalled. So I’ve been quite active in trying to help motivate people and getting everybody talking again. Phoenixville, like most small towns, has an existing and established political machine that also like many small towns, has worn some people the wrong way. I believe, like with anything, time and communication can heal most wounds.

A better Phoenixville in the long run is better for my business, the business of my customers, and the community overall. It would be something I’d be spiriting behind even if I wasn’t a “businessman”.

Also, a funny side note, they misquoted the business name as “Ed Roper Creative Services”. While that was once an earlier business name, it’s been Ed Roper Photo & Design for a little while now.

Logo Design: Unfiltered Phoenixville News

The Unfiltered Phoenixville News, a small but growing community facebook  news group, needed a logo for it’s page. The design incorporates a glyph of the old water tower that can be seen from downtown, and which at night is illuminated with a star.

The font chosen for the typeface is “Franchise Bold”, designed by Derek Weathersbee.

Your brand may be hurting your business.

There’s no question that we live in a hyper-visual world. With the prevalence of multimedia capable phones in every pocket, HD-TV’s in many homes, and the internet on every desktop consumers are exposed to brands all the time.

Not having a powerful visual presence in this day in age is not only a poor business move in regards to attracting customers, but may in fact be repelling them. Click the link to find out more…
