Design · Marketing · Content Production

John S. Eldridge, Jr.

Bold visual identities, campaigns that convert, and a steady stream of polished content — one creative who can take a brand from concept to finished, on-message deliverable.

About

I'm a multimedia creative who takes raw concepts through to finished, professional work — from brand identity systems to broadcast show openers and product photography. Some of that has been under my own design business, Inkboard Design, on contract client by client; some under my own name in roles for other businesses, including directing a four-person design team through a full brand rollout.

I work across the whole stack of a brand's visual presence: identity systems, print and digital advertising, signage and environmental graphics, social content, photography, and motion design. Because I cover design, marketing, and production, a business gets a single point of contact instead of juggling three vendors — and a look that stays consistent everywhere it shows up.

Whether it's launching a campaign, refreshing an identity, building out event visuals, or keeping a content calendar full, I deliver work that is both visually striking and strategically sound — tied to a real goal, not just a pretty file.

◆

Brand Identity

Logos, color, type, and usage rules built into a system a team can actually apply — so the brand looks like itself on every channel.

✦

Ad & Campaign Design

Print and digital advertising built around a clear offer and call to action — designed to capture attention and convert.

❖

Print & Promotional

Flyers, posters, packaging, menus, decks, and one-sheets — production-ready files with consistent polish.

▣

Signage & Environmental

Wayfinding, window and wall graphics, trade-show and event builds, and digital screen content that shapes how a space feels.

▶

Video & Motion Graphics

Openers, logo stings, animated graphics, and short-form edits for social, web, and in-house displays that stop the scroll.

◉

Photography

Product, team, and location photography with professional lighting — shot and retouched for web, print, and social.

What I Bring to the Table

Concrete ways design, marketing, and content production move the needle for a business.

01

Build a Brand People Remember

Define or sharpen the identity — logo, palette, typography, voice, and the guidelines that hold it together — so the business reads as established and trustworthy instead of improvised.

02

Launch Campaigns That Convert

Take a promotion, product launch, or seasonal push from concept to full asset set: print, digital ads, email, landing visuals, and social cuts — all sized, on-brand, and pointed at one clear call to action.

03

Keep the Content Pipeline Full

Produce a steady stream of photography, motion graphics, and short-form video so the social calendar never runs dry. Because I shoot, design, and edit, one shoot turns into weeks of on-brand content instead of a single post.

04

Elevate the Customer Experience

Signage, wayfinding, packaging, menus, and digital screen content that make a physical space or storefront feel intentional and premium — and make it easier for customers to find what they came for.

05

Make Complex Things Clear

Infographics, explainer video, onboarding guides, and sales collateral that turn technical or unfamiliar information into something a customer can grasp at a glance — education that sells without feeling like a pitch.

06

Own Events End to End

Booth and stage graphics, banners, printed programs, themed promo art, and the social teasers that build anticipation beforehand — plus recap content afterward that keeps the momentum going.

03
