Faithful in Prayer

This is my 4th year designing the church-wide campaign devotional book covers for GHCC (see 2011 and 2010) and the books are printed and ready to go.

This year's theme, Faithful in Prayer, is focused on learning more about why we pray and how to pray the way Jesus intended. The key image I chose for the cover is of this elderly man in intense prayer. I really liked this image because who the man is could be left open to interpretation. Is he a grandfather? A prophet? A homeless man? A priest? The point is that it does not matter WHO we think he is, but that he is intimately speaking to God. The image is cropped really close on the man's face and hands to try to capture the intimacy of this time the man is having with his Heavenly Father.

Verge Ministries Identity

This post is a few months overdue, but with the launch of the new Verge website, I thought this might be an appropriate time for a second chance to get this out there.

Verge Ministries is a new organization that exists to help students become world-changers. They accomplish this through three main areas: missions, resources, and ministry consultation.

I developed the Verge logo as well as the three icons used to represent what Verge does. I will be posting some of the other materials I have developed for Verge, but first just wanted to share the main logo and icons that represent what Verge is all about.

Seek: Kairos Winter Retreat 2012 Flyer

Here's a new registration flyer for the Kairos Winter Retreat coming in January. The theme is Seek, based on Psalm 27:8 — My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "Lord, I am coming." The visual concept I developed is based around the idea of Psalm 19:1 — The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. If someone is seeking after God, they will plainly see His glory in His creation, and for me that is especially true of the night sky. So that's how I kind of tied those two concepts together.

I found a beautiful image of the sky with long, time-elapsed star trails and I adjusted the color, added the telescope, and used the typography to make the sky feel large and stretched out over the whole flyer.

The Crash: GHCC Winter Camp 2012

Here's the logo for GHCC's Middle School and High School Winter Camps coming in February 2012. The theme of "The Crash" is one I am very excited about and looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. To create the logo, I created the words to form the shape of a rhino head, since a word for a group of rhinos is a "crash". I should have more designs to show for camp including brochure, apparel, etc. in the next month or two, but I wanted to get the logo posted up here as soon as I could.

I Am He

Here's the theme art for GHCC's Middle School and High School for 2011–2012. The idea follows the passage of John 18:5 where Jesus is being arrested, and when he says "I am he", all the guards who were there to arrest him fall down.

I created the logo as a custom illustration and made the icon to accompany it on the promotion materials.
