Church Service Poster - HOPE Church

Hope Church in Grand Forks contacted me to come up with a poster to advertise their new Sunday evening contemporary service geared toward the younger generation. I worked with Pastor Brad Johnson who had very specific ideas in mind. We went through quite a few revisions until finally ending up with exactly what he had envisioned. If you look closely you will see the tree trunk is 'the cross'. I ended up doing two different sizes of the poster and with different color schemes. I also did an image for their overhead projector shown in their church services and also an advertisement for the website.

Tailgating Banner - HOPE Church

Hope Church in Grand Forks had a tailgating event held on September 11th. I created a 4 foot banner for the event as well as an image for the overhead projector shown during the service and also a web advertisement that went on the website.

Finley, ND Brochure

I am again working with Suzanne Halvorson, Economic Development Coordinator from Finley on a new brochure for the city to bring in new families and businesses. She and I are both really excited about this new design. It's probably my favorite piece as of late. She really wanted to draw the reader in and the way to do that is with photos, 17 to be exact! Which is alot of photos, but I think the layout I chose creates a nice balance of photos and information. It doesnt appear to be too congested.

Driving Nails Poster

I designed this poster last year as well (you can see it by clicking on the older posts at the bottom of the page). They approached me this year with a totally different idea. A cemetery scene - I did two versions, one was more like a drawing (which is the one they chose) and the other was very abstract (the yellow and brown version). They also needed a postcard done, an ad done for their overhead projector shown during church services and an ad for their website which is currently running for a few more weeks at http://www.gfhope.org/.

Ihry Insurance Folder

Ihry Insurance in Grand Forks needed a folder designed for handing out materials to their clients. They had ideas of what images they wanted to represent. I'm very happy with how it turned out. It's very colorful, especially the inside, it has a panoramic feel and the side flap that opens with the additional information is a very creative way to add more information without disrupting the photo.

End of 2010 Miscellaneous

Wow I cant believe it has been 9 months since my last post. I have been busy moving to a new town and all the fun that goes along with that! But I still have been keeping up with my design. I've attached a few of the projects I did the last part of 2010 for your viewing enjoyment. The first is a two-fold brochure for the business center in Hannaford, ND. The second is a wall calendar for North Dakota Mill. I designed the top header for it. And the last is a series of advertisements I designed for an embroidery business in Grand Forks. I took all the photos of the clothing as well and just changed out the backgrounds to create different looks for the specific events they were advertising for.

Nelson Business Forms Website

Well in the month of June I did a few small jobs for Randy at Nelson Business Forms - a proposal form for Sterling Carpet One and some logo edits for TOOP but the major project that I finished for him was their new look for the website. Check it out - www.nelsonbusinessforms.com He already had a concept that he was looking for so I just went with it- it matches the business card that I designed for them a few months back. We had a few tweeks but for the most part it is exactly like the layout that he was envisioning.
