ALBUM COVER ART and PAMPHLET DESIGN

Inspiration: taken from the original hymn writers of timeless classics sung today. The cover art and pamphlet tells the story of returning back to the original songs of the early Christian church.

The texturized feather art hints at the weathering of time and the ancient quill inspired by the divine. The primary color used along with ivory and black is the color red, which is symbolic of the blood of Christ, the main source of inspiration and subject matter for most of the hymns.

Gospel At Work is an annual conference that serves more than 500 men and women professionals and entrepreneurs in the D.C. Metropolitan area. The branding and supporting graphics were designed to appeal to those in the corporate setting and have a workplace vibe.

The 2011 Vision/Financial Report was the first of its kind and served as a full report of stats and helpful information gathered from the previous year, reflecting how the church had grown and the stories of lives that had been affected by the church's outreach. With the challenge of more information than space to place it all, a succinct design strategy with efficient use of space and effective infographics while aesthetically warm and inviting was the goal.
