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.

He That Wears the Crown

Sorry for not posting much lately. I have been working on a ton, but just have not had the time to share it! This is the new theme for Kairos for the fall. Going through the stories of 1 and 2 Samuel, we wanted to give this poster a real heroic vibe. These are two of my favorite books of the Bible and I'm really excited for how the theme art turned out.

Sherwood Electric

I recently designed a new logo for Sherwood Electric, Inc., a local company. I used the identifying lightning bolt to help potential customers easily identify what Sherwood Electric can do for them, but I also made the icon the initials of the company to help give it some identity and individuality.

Inspiration: Top 25 Movie Posters

I recently watched "Buried" because I am a huge Hitchcock fan and heard it was a film in a style that would make Hitch proud (and I agree). Seeing the film reminded me that I absolutely love the poster for this movie. I think the concept and typography are so excellent and really portray the feeling of the film. Looking at this poster again inspired me to share some of my favorite movie posters. All of these are on this list for either their typography, concept, and/or iconic imagery.

So many movie posters are just cut and paste jobs that all blend together. But some stand out. These are the Top 25 (in no particular order) that stood out to me over the years. I am not necessarily saying these are great films, but in my opinion they are great posters.

Let me know some of your favorites too that aren't on the list!

Buried
Beautiful Typography that really captured the claustrophobic feeling of the film. 

Ezra+Nehemiah Poster

Here's a poster for an upcoming class at GHCC going through the books of Ezra & Nehemiah. These historical biblical books document the return of the Jewish people from exile and the rebuilding of the temple and walls in Jerusalem. Since the main emphasis of the book is rebuilding (both literally and spiritually) I decided to use the bricks to keep the concept super simple and let the use of negative space really make the poster stand out.

Andrews Consulting Logo

Andrews Consulting helps businesses run better. The company helps other businesses achieve their goals and develop strategies to improve production. Andrews Consulting contacted me to give a facelift to their logo and brand identity. The new look updates their old "A" logo and I incorporated the red color throughout their new marketing materials (which I will hopefully show soon). I also changed the typography to be bold and simple and did away with the script type they had used previously in an effort to make the logo more legible and modern.

Impact Church Identity

Here is a logo I created recently for a new church in my area. This was the logo they chose out of a few options (click "read more" or view below to see some of them). The logo emphasizes the church's desire to "go out" and reach all people with the gospel. They also really wanted the cross to be a part of their logo. I combined the starting point and arrows in all directions, and the cross, with the "I" to get this point across. A lot of things going on at once, but I think that is also the hope for the church— that they will stay busy with their mission.
