Design: Vision Wall Wrap

Pastor's decided he wants an accent wall that includes all of the "new" ministry direction information. Between working on Easter and other designs, it took about two days to simply wrap my head around how to best organize the pieces he wanted to include. I dropped all the necessary pieces onto a page in Illustrator and did around 15 versions of the layout before even beginning to figure out the background. At that point we hadn't decided what media we were going to use - cut vinyl or printed vinyl so I started with the idea that we may be doing cut vinyl and then expanded the strongest iterations of that for a printed vinyl application since that was likely to cost less and be easier to have installed.

Here are three of the more cohesive layouts and then a small sampling of the background exploration versions in a mockup I did in Photoshop.

When I started working with this one I realized that the only thing I liked about it was the "Truth" square
at the top right and that we really did need our logo included in the design somehow.

I liked the combination of the shapes and the fonts here but the logo looked awkward.

This is the one I ended up doing the most work with because it felt a bit better.
This is at the point where I wished I had some other like-minded designers around who
I could show this to and get feedback.
This was one of the first mockups. The layout wasn't quite as strong as I wanted
so I switched to the one in following versions.
All of the background images I'm working with were found at unsplash.com.






Here's a photo of the wall after they installed it

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.

AI Narrated Audio Books Coming!

  I'm so excited to share that I'm fast working towards having AI narrated books available for those of you who prefer to listen to books. They will be available through Google Play to begin with. I haven't decided where else I'll be making them available. Here's the first one.  Books one and two will be available starting January 31, 2023.
