Photo Collage: Family Worship 101

Last week I spent an afternoon working on some upcoming designs.

The image Pastor sent to me is from here. Someone used it for a nice looking book cover for a family worship topic. After doing the small format designs, I realized that there was no way that tiny image was going to work for the 20x30 poster we need in the ministry center, so I started pulling pieces to put together something that would work in the larger print format.

Here's the original that Pastor sent to me - nice huh? It looked blown out but after some quick level adjustments I had a base to work with.

This is the final edited version for the HD Slides and another for the 20x30 poster:

Probably could use some more shadow for the hymnal that goes onto the Bible, but I think it's effective enough to pass muster.

Wood grain texture that I tiled and color corrected for the replaced table top is here and then the great scratches for the overlay for a more realistic table is here.
Here's the cup/saucer replacement.
Here is inspiration for the text layout.

I took a photo of the Bible and hymnal - see that below - you should've seen me climbing onto the desk so I could get an aerial view. For the cup and the book replacements, I had to cut them from their backgrounds, color correct and then add realistic shadows. Did some coloring tomfoolery with the chairs and such cause I wanted a layout that was more blue than red since I ended up only being able to find a red hymnal.

Talk about fun! It took a long time, but the end result was worth it.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags.

Writing: Lena - Chapter 2

    So - thought I'd post the second chapter of Lena's story too. Let me know if you're enjoying it?  Could possibly release the first installment of this 2 novella story before the end of May. With this story, I feel like I'm flopping around outside of my comfort zone and although it's uncomfortable, I'm assuming these are 'good' growing pains especially since the gospel is a bit more central than in the last story I put out there.   .2. Picked Up Just before sunrise, clouds lumbered off to the northwest. I shivered in my damp clothing and stepped onto the glistening onyx ribbon of road to consider my options: one, follow it to civilization and risk running into Ted or his crew, or two, risk a slow death by turning from the road into the dehydrating desert. I couldn’t tell how far I was from where I had started, and didn’t want to risk meeting anyone along the road once the sun had fully risen, but before I had made a conscious choice, I heard the grave...
