Event Photography
If you are organizing an event or having people come to campus, please reach out. Permissions can be included as part of event registrations, but must be in place to use photos of events.
Please let us know about future events during your event planning phase so that we can secure permissions and highlight your work. If minors are involved, significant lead time is required.
Design and Marketing
We design a wide range of promotional materials and can help you find vendors for gifts and giveaways.
Shown here are some examples of custom print pieces, but we can also help with t-shirts, mugs, and other items.
Program Flyers
Program Flyers are 5.5" x 8.5" and two-sided.
Work with our team to get concise, marketing language and to highlight your desired facts.
Banners
Custom stand-up banners are valuable for events and tabling.
There are college banners available for reservation in the Dean's Office.
Posters and Bookmarks
We work to create custom pieces people will love and that show Hawkeye Pride.
Die-cuts and Stickers
Stickers and die-cuts can be eye-catching pieces that get saved, shared, or used as decoration- all good ways to get our information in the hands of future students, partners, and the community.
QR Codes and Metrics
Wondering if anyone reads these flyers or signs?
We use google analytics, custom urls, and QR codes so that we can track and measure engagement metrics. Work with us to develop focused calls-to-action and strategize digital conversions.
