Pushing the Brand

The goals of the campaign included the development of a brand style that pushes the dance troupe’s identity standards, incorporates real images of dancers from the classes in a way that felt unique and inspiring, and competes with rival workshop series which would often be advertising in the same spaces. For example, the postcard series shown here (delivered both at regional workshops and live performances) presents a continuity of the campaign and an image that supporters could also keep around on their bulletin boards long after the registration deadline.

Innovative, Cost-effective Solution

One key Idea in the campaign was to integrate the brochure and poster into a quad-folded promotional piece. This way, they could be provided to the different dance schools and institutions providing full schedules as well as be unfolded to hang on the walls as shown here. The piece was also printed in North Carolina to cut down on costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Services Used in Pilobolus Summer Dance Workshop Series

These services from A Great Idea include the following:

Do I need to provide the copy and images for my brochure?

While many clients provide their own text and high-resolution photos, A Great Idea offers full-service solutions. We can assist with professional copywriting, stock image curation, or custom photography to ensure your brochure is cohesive and persuasive. For the best print results, we recommend using images with at least 300 DPI (dots per inch).

What is brochure design?

Brochure design is the process of creating a visual and informative marketing tool that represents a brand, product, or service. It involves strategically arranging typography, imagery, and branding elements across a folded or multi-page layout.

What is the standard turnaround time for a brochure project?

A typical brochure design project takes between 1 to 3 weeks. This timeline includes the initial discovery phase, concept development, and rounds of revisions. If you have a tight deadline for a trade show or product launch, let us know—we offer expedited design services to ensure you never miss a marketing opportunity.

What is the difference between digital and print-ready brochure design?

A print-ready brochure is designed using the CMYK color model with specific "bleeds" and margins to ensure it looks perfect when physically printed. A digital brochure (or e-brochure) is optimized for the RGB color space, features interactive elements like clickable links, and is compressed for fast loading in emails or on your website. We can provide your final files in both formats to maximize your reach.

What kind of print and digital design do you offer?

Our team is composed of skilled designers, copywriters, and developers, meaning we can offer a range of design services! Most commonly, we offer custom brochure design services and promotional materials, annual report designs, marketing collateral design, brand design, environmental design, designs signage, and social media designs.
