One of my favorite things to design are sermon series. I guess in my thoughts I almost feel like I am designing a movie poster. I don't know if it is the feeling of newness or expectation or wonder the audience feels when they see it for the first time, but it is definitely fun!

Here is a new sermon series design for Christ Fellowship. Check out our church pixels portfolio for more sermon series designs.

They are going to be using all three color options.

Two months ago I had the privilege to design the cover for Kelley Varner's new and final book, I Am Not Afraid of My Future. It was his first book for young people. You can order his final book and find out more information at www.kelleyvarner.org.

Eugene Strite served as President and C.E.O. of L & S Stone Inc., with branches in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida. He is the pioneer of World Harvest Outreach, a non-denominational, multi-cultural church. Eugene is also the founder of Sent Forth Ministries which trains and equips individuals to serve on short-term mission teams in the nations. 

Last month Eugene asked me to design the cover to his new book, Coins Left Over, Practical Steps to Financial Freedom. They sent me over the first three chapters and I got hooked. Informative and straight to the point. Eugene told a story of a homeless artist, that saw other homeless people and gave them the coins that he had. Later that day someone purchased a piece of art the homeless man painted, and that was the start of the mans exit out of poverty. One of the keys to gaining is giving.

Below is the process options and final cover.

I am always interested in the History of logos and design. Here are two articles that I find very interesting.

Destiny World new Affecting Destiny Conference theme for 2009. Here is the branding and the advertising design we created to spark interest and expectation.

Total Abandonment is a youth conference held in Atlanta, Georgia. Destiny World Outreach hired us to design and make this youth conference attractive to a broad audience. During a long brainstorming meeting, we got inspired by this picture below.

huAs per my previous post. Here is another sermon series design.

Being in Church Marketing for quite some time, and going to many conferences, it is hard to ignore the way some ministries market and brand themselves. Trying to reach a "today" culture with "yesterdays" material. I still see audio tapes being sold, cheezy graphics and starbursts. Don't get me wrong, the Word they teach is an amazing Word, I can never deny that, but the method of production and branding is way under par. Our heart is to help these ministries reach the people they should be reaching by creating great design that works. Design that speaks to the consumer to GRAB ME because this can change your life!

Every year Southeast Toyota has an incentive trip to congratulate the best Dealers in the south. This year they are going to New York and on elite, high class tours in the city. They asked to create a classy package that will include all their material. I made a custom parcel that fits 5 custom luggage tags, and many other printed collateral. The program opens like an accordion and has a custom emboss on the cover. To close it all, a simple label to add a touch of class.

I work with the JM Family Enterprises Creative Services Department as a freelance designer on special projects. Today I had a very interesting and fun job. Every year Scion has a car show, and every year it has a different theme. This year they are having the show in an airplane hangar. I thought that was kind of cool, but still a little boring. So I searched and searched and found a picture of an old abandoned hangar, and a good dynamic pic of a plane. I mixed them together with some very cool Scion cars, added a little Photoshop and Illustrator magic, and Vualah! These are banners placed throughout the event.
