Church Design Pack

One of the great things about doing church art graphics is not only the creative freedom, but also the exposure the work gets. And with an approximate attendance of over 1500 church-goers per week at my house of worship, Calvary Chapel Montebello (http://www.ccmtb.com), the feedback I get is priceless. But most importantly, I value the references I get from those who inquire to the church staff about my work.

Spiritual Warfare: This project was exciting for me to work on because of the "comic book" feel that was requested for it. Something along the lines of a Marvel or DC Comics-"sh" look. The project manager wanted the piece to communicate the "Good vs Evil" message, but to also make it fun. However, comic book character development is not a talent that I have. And after many failed attempts to draw a super hero and villain, I was stumped. I felt like I was cornered in a city alley and no where to go by the evil "graphic design mind block brigade".

I was in distress and needed my fantabulous super hero to rescue me. That super design hereo was iStockPhoto.com! (http://www.istockphoto.com).

Needless to say that iStockphoto.com saved me from the villain of comic book design block and helped me produce the graphic look that pleased the mayor and the citizens of Gotham. Thanks for viewing... (and reading my cheesy comic-themed writing).

Here is what the project package consisted of;
  1. 30x40 Posters,
  2. DVD/CD Wrap,
  3. Overhead Projector Artwork
  4. Flyers in Color and B&W and
  5. Web Art
