Signs

Hope Evangelical Covenant Church in Grand Forks had me design a series of 6 - 2'x3' signs they will be putting up around the church designating different areas: Hope Serves, Hope Youth, Hope Groups, and Hope Kidz.

Invite and Program

Hope Evangelical Covenant Church in Grand Forks needed an invite and program designed for a special event the church is hosting showing appreciation to people who have volunteered their time for the "Give Yourself Away" stewardship campaign. They wanted the invite and program to match and they wanted a simple, elegant look. I decided to go with a neutral background since the logo has bright colors.

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.

Bear Cat Marketing Materials

I've been working with Angie at Crary Industries in West Fargo on a series of marketing pieces they needed done in a very short amount of time for a chipper/shredder promotion they have going on. She sent me the catalog she had recently designed so I could get the feel for the look she was going for, along with images and fonts and logos she wanted included. I completed a postcard, a web ad, a hang tag, a newspaper ad (color and black and white) and a stuffer statement (two sided). The image above is the overall design for all the pieces.

Church Service Poster (Update) - Hope Church

Pastor Brad Johnson contacted me in regards to the church service poster I worked on in September. It had a fall theme and he wanted to do a winter theme so they could continue to use it thru the winter months.

Steele County Renaissance Zone Brochure

I worked with Courtnie at Steele County in Finley ND on designing a brochure highlighting their Renaissance Zone. They supplied me with all the copy and images and had a general layout in mind but left the creative up to me. They are pleased with the end result with very few revisions.

Christmas Program - HOPE Church

Hope Church contacted me to come up with a poster for their Christmas Program. The play is a modern day version of Mary and Joseph being turned away at the Inn and having to go to the stable. For the poster, they wanted an image of a run down Lucky Star Inn with a petting zoo scene right next door. I have to admit, this project has been my most challenging to date. I ended up taking about 5 different images and collaging them all together to come up with the scene. They are very happy with the result. Again, I did two different sizes, an image for their overhead projector shown during the services and an advertisement for the website.
