GHCC December Calendar Postcards

I designed these postcards for GHCC to advertise the events for this Christmas season. The topics for each Sunday as well as all the info for the annual Christmas musical are all on one nice card for display on the fridge or bulletin board. These also make great invites for friends and relatives.

I wanted the cards to have a very classic Christmas feel but without traditional reds and greens. I went with blues and tans and let the imagery communicate Christmas.

Psalms Series

The current series at GHCC is on the book of Psalms, titled People of Praise: Blessings from the Psalter. The book of Psalms is so huge and has so many themes and subjects. That, along with the fact that the title of the series is a bit longer, made me want to keep the image simple. I really like and appreciate the musical aspect of Psalms. I decided to use an image of guitar strings and overlay it on a sky image. It creates a kind of jet stream effect that I thought made a nice texture for the title to rest on. The blue and orange colors I thought represented both the calm and the violent themes in the collection of Psalms. It has the music represented, the nature and wonder represented, and the range of calm and active themes represented.

The type I chose and designed to look musical. The "People of Praise" type is flowing and beautiful. The calligraphy type is to represent the words being handwritten by the authors of the Psalms. The horizontal lines throughout the title bring to mind a music sheet.

This is a series that will go on for a while, and the simple, yet deep meanings behind the imagery and type will allow it to be used for a long time.

Restored

Restored is the Fall theme for Kairos this year. We really wanted to show construction or a work in progress in the artwork so I went very literal with the design since we have not done anything like that for Kairos before. The type is called Roughwork, a font I have always really liked. I thought it was a great fit for this project as it was. However, I ended up drawing the letters by hand over the top of it to bring them out more with a different color. I think the effect really helps the title to stand out.

GHCC Girls' Conferences 2014

Long time no post! I'll try to get back to being more regular about posting. It's been a rough summer personally, so I haven't been putting work up here. Which means I have a nice build up of projects that I haven't shared yet, so stay tuned!

To start it off again, I am sharing one of my favorite projects that I did over the summer. Here is the poster for the recent GHCC Girls' Conferences. The theme was A Worthy Ambition.

Declutter & Delight Event Promo

Declutter & Delight is a women's event coming to GHCC. They want it to be a laid back, coffeehouse-style hang out where women can come together to relax and hear about how to abide in Christ. The brochures are printed on cardstock so that they can stand and resemble the standing chalkboard menus that you often see in a coffee shop.

Ephesians & Colossians Poster

Wow, sorry it's been so long. This summer has been abnormally busy but I hope to get more work up here soon. The projects have been happening but the posting has not!

This is the promo poster for a new class starting in August on the books of Ephesians and Colossians. Since these two books were letters written by Paul from Roman prison, I wanted the look to have a distinctive Roman feel. I used a red and earth-tone palatte along with the chiseled Roman-style text. The imagery of the suit of armor and the cross are a combination of two of the main iconic themes from these two books.

The Way of Discipleship

This is the poster for the upcoming series at Kairos. They wanted an extremely simple, text-based design with a path and creamsicle color pallette. I turned the bottom of the A into a cross to make the path lead there so that there was an added focus to the end of the path and a deeper meaning to the poster.
