May 15, 2006
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – Fifth Letter, a graphic design studio focusing on nonprofits, publishing, educational institutions, and emerging businesses, has moved into a larger and more collaborative office environment. The new office is located at 924 Burke Street in downtown Winston-Salem.
In addition to design and marketing services, Fifth Letter offers strategic planning to help organizations and businesses focus their purpose and message for select audiences. This enables clients to communicate effectively when considering projects which are wide-ranging coordinated efforts that may span multiple media.
Elliot Strunk, founder and Creative Director of Fifth Letter, brings over a decade of experience to the business. His client history ranges from large companies including Weyerhaeuser, Krispy Kreme, Sara Lee, and VF Corporation to educational institutions and not-for-profits such as The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, 88.5 WFDD, Reynolda House Museum of American Art, and Habitat for Humanity.
“As business picked up since our founding last year, I realized that our space considerations were evolving and needed to be addressed,” says Strunk. “I look forward to welcoming current and future clients in our new Burke Street location.”
Strunk’s work has won local, regional, and national awards from, among others, 10×10: 100 Specimens of Fine Paper, the Addys, AIGA (The American Institute of Graphic Arts), CASE (The Council for Advancement and Support of Education), Graphic Design USA, Graphis, HOW, Print, Step Inside Design, and Type Directors Club, as well as appearing in articles published in Communication Arts, Dynamic Graphics, and Graphic Arts Monthly magazines. His work has also appeared in seven graphic design compendiums and is included in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress.
In addition to his work, Strunk has taught graphic design at Salem College. Strunk graduated cum laude from Ohio University with a BFA in Graphic Design.
