JFlah's Blunders

This week's sermon topic is Divorce and Remarriage. Created a torn Polaroid photo. This is the toned down final version for the front of the bulletin with a subtle tear of photo. Will probably play with the text arrangement some more, but the image is done. This is the first version of the layout - dynamic tear for the photo. Boss thought it was too scary.

Reference text: Genesis 1:26  Additional Direction: Carnival Mirror, Reflections; our image is distorted because of sin but we're made in God's image and He restores that at salvation. When in the research phase of looking for images that might be useful, all of the carnival mirror images I found were goofy. Could've made my own carnival mirror image and put it into a frame for an interesting effect, but ran across the apple reflection picture and thought it had potential too. Worked that one up but over did it - pastor said both images were broken and Christ restores so we nixed the broken mirror part of the image and voila! Done. This is the first shot at the design. Constructive criticism was that "both images are broken - Christ restores" - so I removed the broken image bits and kept the original reflection for the final version and added some filters.
