Co-Founder – Professor

Relationships are one of our core values at Cross and Crown. We find that getting to know someone is the best way to further a relationship. With this thought at the forefront of our thinking, we would like to share some more information on Trevor Roberts, Cross and Crown’s co-founder. One of Trevor’s passions is to be a life long learner; he finds himself content with the knowledge he has, but also strives to gain more knowledge.

In September of 2008, Trevor was approached and asked to teach an advanced graphics course at Kaplan College in Hagerstown, MD. After much thought, he accepted the position for classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Trevor brings many new ideas and energy to the classroom, both of which his students acknowledge and enjoy.

After having a positive experience in the fall, Trevor agreed to continue and teach during the winter semester. Currently, Trevor is teaching an “Intro to Photoshop Class” and an “Intro to Illustrator class”. Trevor continues to commit over 50 hours a week to Cross and Crown and C and C Coffee as they continue to grow.

Stay tuned to more updates from your friends at Cross and Crown.

Cute Is What We Aim For

Good afternoon blog readers!

Thanks to our new friends at Fueled By Ramen, we were able to design a couple of shirts for national recording artist, Cute Is What We Aim For. This was an exciting project for us not only because we love to design merch, but also because we are big fans of Fueled By Ramen and their artists. There is nothing like getting to be a part of the music we listen to everyday.

Keep staying tuned in for the latest and greatest!

Kamran Yaraei's new book, Food For The Heart

Kamran Yaraei's new book, Food For The Heart

Cross and Crown has released our project for the week: full book cover for Kamran Yaraei’s new book, Food For The Heart.  Kamran had a great enthusiasm and vision for his book – after a few different versions and revisions, he chose a cover and we helped him develop it from there.  Want to know more about Kamran?  You can read more about him and his passion with Project Call Out.

We are continuing to tackle an increasing workload including work for Christina Sanders, Paramore, Cute Is What We Aim For, The Glorious Unseen, Jonny Diaz (DIE-AZ), Belinda Jane, Future Shirts, King Street Church, Cross Inc. and much, much more.  So stay tuned for updates on our work, and some possible sneak previews coming up!

In other news and updates, as one of our employees went out to their vehicle this morning, they noticed the temperature reading was 3º.  Now that is cold.

Physical Therapy ETC

We have released one of our latest creations, Phsyical Therapy Etc. Based in Chambersburg, PA, Physical Therapy Etc has been serving Chambersburg and the local community since 1981.  We were contacted last month about updating and revamping their website, and after a few meetings and slight revisions, we were good to go.

Continue to stay tuned as we are going to be releasing new projects in the coming weeks!

New Cross and Crown website!

New Cross and Crown website!

Hello faithful readers!   Happy New Year to all of you.  Welcome to the very first blog post of 2009!  We would also like to welcome all the new readers to the Cross and Crown blog.  We had a wonderful year in 2008; over 50 new clients, a new office building and 4 great interns.  We enjoyed last year’s success and are ready for a new and exciting year at Cross and Crown – we already have some new and exciting projects lined up.  What better way to get it started than to release our new website?

After a couple weeks of brainstorming, designing, updating, coding and testing, we have released the next version of our website (a much better version).  The new website has some cool new features:

• simpler, faster loading interface
• revamped and updated portfolio of our work
• client list of who we have done (and are doing) work for
• a services page that tells you everything we can do and offer
• “quick quote” form making it easier to contact us with what you want

We encourage you to spend some time on the new site looking around.  We plan on keeping our portfolio and blog as updated as often as possible.  This will be a challenge as we already have a busy January planned – so we ask you to be patient!

We’ve also listed below a few sites below that we’ve done that we didn’t have the chance to share with you yet.  Call it your New Year’s treat.

Stay tuned!
