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.

Became (John 1) Series

Kairos just launched a new summer series to study John 1. The series is titled Became and a lot of thought went into the artwork to match it up with many of the themes that will be explored over the course of the series. I spent a lot of time looking at the Bible text and figuring out some ways to express it visually. The final version appears simple, but there are actually some very complex hidden meanings:

The verb "to be" is similar to the "I AM" statement that God makes about Himself. The name "Became" is split up so that it could read "I AM CAME". In John 1, Jesus is described as the Word. The red letters are used in the Bible whenever Jesus talks, so the red "be" signifies that "the Word came". The flesh texture signifies that God became flesh and the red color throughout signifies the blood that the Word came to shed. Very complex ideas that definitely are not apparent upon first glance, but the goal is for these ideas and themes to be explored over the course of the series.

Men of the Master Flyer

Inspired by the campaign workbook cover I designed for The Eternal Word, this men's group asked that I create a flyer for their discipleship group that would have a similar flavor. Here's the final result! I really like this image I found of a knight holding his sword up, fitting for a Bible Study. I did some photo editing and the final result had the colors and textures I was hoping for.

Summer Squeeze Poster

 Here's a fun poster I designed for the 3rd annual Summer Squeeze. Every year I have used these fruit characters and drawn them in different humorous scenarios. It gives me a chance to go back to my first art love, cartooning. And it always gets people talking about the event, which is the goal. This family BBQ, summer hangout time for all middle school and high school families is a great time as the school year winds down. I always try to give this a light, summer feel.

Women's Bible Study Brochure 2013

This is up a few weeks late, but this is the design for GHCC's Women's Spring Bible Studies brochure and registration card. The hand holding the Bible was drawn to match the style of the art on their other print materials. The design is simple, acting as a guide calendar that can be hung on a fridge so the ladies can see what the topic is week by week. The card opens up vertically with a registration card attached.
