Driving Nails Poster

For the third year in a row, I was asked to do the Driving Nails poster for Hope Evangelical Covenant Church in Grand Forks, ND. Like every year, they want a very dark look with reds and browns and blacks. For imagery, they wanted a close up shot of the hand on the cross with another hand with the nail and hammer, making it appear like it's just about to hammer the nail into the hand. The original image of the hand had blood and a hole already so I had to do some blending magic to make the hand appear clean. Both hands and the hammer are three separate images. The background is two separate images that I blended together and the "Driving Nails" title actually has an image applied to appear texturized. I did 8.5x11 and 11x17 posters, a web ad, a postcard and an image for the churchs projector.
