Frozen

Frozen is the name of the theme for GHCC's Middle School Summer. The name itself is interesting, given that California summers do not have any association with the word "frozen". However, the name is more of a play on words for the spiritual state of the students during the summer months — routines change, programs die down, and their interest in keeping up with their spiritual walk takes a backseat to summer activities. Their walk with God is frozen. The theme aims to help students realize this problem and give them tools to help correct it. Below is a full version of the logo as well as some poster designs to promote the theme that use imagery centered around the frozen idea, with the tagline "don't let it be you".

Bethesda Village

Bethesda Village is a recovery house that offers help to people seeking freedom from life-controlling issues by facilitating the work of God in their lives through personal discipleship and life skills development. While still in development and not yet open, Bethesda asked me to create their logo for their promotional materials. I created the custom illustration of the main chapel facility with a hand-sketched look in order to help give the logo a home-like, country feel. I am excited to see what happens with this facility as it aims to help many people get their lives in the right direction.

If you are interested in learning more about Bethesda Village for yourself or someone you know, you can visit their website when it is completed.

King's Kids Shirts 2011

I just finished this design for King's Kids, a choir for children K–2nd Grade. They have their Spring performance coming up and wanted a new, colorful & fun shirt for the kids to wear. I made the custom illustrations tailored to their requests. I don't do a lot of illustration anymore, and cartooning is my preferred style, so any chance I get to draw some characters is a lot of fun for me.

Identity Design: Cheryl Hammond

Here is a logo I was hired to create for a dear friend of my family's. Cheryl is a well-known realtor in our area (and a great one too) and helped my wife and me find our current home. When she asked me to develop a logo for her to use on her website, I was happy to be a part of it. The final solution uses her initials to create a house and help identify who she is and what she does. I hope the logo helps introduce Cheryl to many people that will be as happy with her help as we were.

Easter Flyers

Easter is coming up and so that means new Easter flyers for GHCC. I found this image of a tomb, where the viewer is looking out into the sunlight. I thought the image was perfect for Easter and so I have been saving it to use for this flyer.

CONVERGE Men's Retreat 2K11

I meant to upload this a few weeks ago, but this is the promo brochure and poster for a Men's Retreat I did recently. Originally, the theme for the retreat was "Stand Firm". I proposed that they change the name to something a little different since the "Stand Firm" idea (at least to me) seems to be a bit overused for men's gatherings. I pitched "Hold Your Ground" because it was a different way of saying the same thing. The idea is that if Jesus is the Rock you're standing on, than you can hold on to Him during the storms of life. They ran with the theme, and I ran with the design.
