The Witness (Study of John)

Here's the theme art for the new study at Kairos. It is called The Witness and is a study of the book of John, chapters 1–12. When discussing the look we wanted for this series, we wanted to play on iconic witness themes from movies and TV. One specific movie that came up was The Usual Suspects and the famous line-up scene. I found these great silhouettes of people and I drew modifications on them to make them appear to be wearing clothing from Bible times and be specific Bible characters (ie. John the Baptist, the woman at the well). Putting these characters in a modern day setting was a lot of fun to explore.

Girls' Conference 2013 Promo

This is the poster and brochure design for the GHCC High School and Middle School Girls' Conferences this year. This is the first year we decided to go with the theme as a part of the design process (rather than just making a general Girls' Conference brochure) so I wanted to share it. The theme is Return to the Source and sessions will be about "what it looks like to really abide in Christ and to have a daily relationship with God that does not dry out". I created the imagery by combining a handful of different pictures to get the desired scene: a dry desert with footprints walking away from a well. This was a fun project and hopefully the imagery conveys the theme idea in an interesting way!

Children's Ministry Sticky Poster

This is the poster for this year's Fall recruitment for GHCC Children's Ministries. The idea is that GHCC wants volunteers who will live out their faith in such a way that it will "stick" to the kids they encounter. Much of their promotion will use sticky notes, so it was natural to also include a design using sticky notes on the poster to tie it all together.

Simply Women Logo

This is a logo I designed some time ago, but never got around to posting. Simply Women is a monthly gathering of women who pray, worship, and talk together. The idea behind the group was to keep it simple and just be about gathering together and spending time with God and each other. The logo went through a fun design process and this is the end result. The pink logomark resembles a flower (a common symbol for beauty) but also is stylized to be arrows pointing towards each other, to emphasize the goal of the women gathering together. The two words join in a cool way to give the image of support and a close-knit group.

1 John Sermon Series

The new series at GHCC is about 1 John, called Living with Certainty. In development for this series, it involved trying to find images of things that are certain, unchanging, and constant. Given that 1 John also spends some time talking about the importance of walking in light, the solution I ended up with is showing an image of the sunrise/sunset — something that we are all certain of to take place tonight and tomorrow morning. We are so certain of it, in fact, that most of us do not even think about it happening, and when we do think about it happening it is so we can set our schedules around it. I thought it was a very fitting analogy to pair with the title of this series.

Hebrews Series Poster

This is a poster for an upcoming series on the book of Hebrews. The main theme of Hebrews is that Christ and his work is above every other thing, every other way to God. And one of the examples is how Christ is above the tabernacle and all the religious tradition. I chose to simplify this idea into a set of illustrations. The cross represents Christ's work on the cross and there is a grouping of traditional religious symbols, including the tabernacle that are all lumped together as less than Christ.
