Exterior Interior Design

This wall is going up at our house right now. It's not actual brick,
but it sure looks like it. I'll post another pic after it's finished.

featured project: kids small groups


I just finished up this project last month and wanted to share a few different facets of the overall design, starting today with the curriculum notebook covers. There are eight books in total with the age o the user ranging from Pre-K to 6th Grade. The style was broken up into two sections with a younger design feel and older design feel. The younger covers were a more illustrative concept based around "local adventure" and were all created in Illustrator. The older covers were more image-driven and based around "global adventure". More to come from the KSG design project!

featured project: bff

The Children's Ministry at Saddleback are going through a church-wide campaign called 40 Days of Love. They retooled the kid's curriculum to be called BFF (which I love!) I had the privilege of working through the design of this series based on a cell phone screen. The challenge with this design was featuring the BFF so that it was the prominent part of the design, without just looking like a hunking huge Zac Morris cell-phone as the entire design! I think it was balanced out great by the boy and contrasted well with the brick wall and slick blue floor (of the Refinery building).

Some Design Inspiration

I love opening up a cold "hecho in Mexico" glass bottle of Coke before
tackling a new creative idea!

back from blogcation


I just returned from a little vacation to Australia for a family wedding... lovely trip... my kids were the cutest ever as pageboy and flowergirl... I even managed a few work days with a client in Australia touring their factory (see picture above, a prize for what the machine is making!).
I'll be posting some new projects and photos in the coming week as I get back in the swing of things!

featured project: simply amazing

I have been working on another multi-church event in Visalia, CA much like this event.
For this project I needed to create a poster with a totally different feel, but still utilizing the same main image of the featured entertainer Danny Ray... the differentiation came through the font choices and the vibrant red background.

featured project: FUEL Bulletin

I have been working on some "bulletin shells" for South Charleston First Church of the Nazarene (how's that for a long church name?!)
Working from the colors and energy of the FUEL logo (that i had designed previously) the goal of this design was something that continued the branding effort for FUEL, utilizing aspects of the current logo and expanding that with pictures, new texture and reformatted ministry information.

Need something similar for your ministry?! Let me know!
