Because good design matters.
When Robyn Hepker was fresh out of kindergarten for the summer, she stole away to the bathroom with her parents' unread copy of The West Liberty Index (the local weekly newspaper), some leftover paste from school, and construction paper. Fascinated with how the newsprint tore pretty much between the columns of text, she happily ripped up the pages and pasted the strips onto the sheets of construction paper. Pleased with her work, she presented the newly redesigned publication to her parents, who swiftly taught her the importance of developing a thick skin as a designer.
Never losing that love of taking words and images and reimagining how they can be accessed, Benson & Hepker Design has helped its clients tell their stories in compelling and authentic ways for 30 years. Starting with a poster and brochure for a small conference hosted by the University of Iowa Department of English ("You and Robyn do brochures, right?" the panic-stricken conference co-chair asked Joan Benson, then a Rhetoric TA), the studio's portfolio has expanded to include online graphics, street banners, vehicle wraps, data visualizations, branding systems, exhibit graphics, maps, presentations, and a bit of illustration. A bit. That's in addition to magazine and report design, book design, and brochure and other printed collateral design. Come to think of it, there was even a Herky statue wrap thrown in there for good measure.
