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

Sculpture: Man's Face and a Hand

     I've been watching a lot of Ace of Clay on Youtube recently and really wanted to try some of his techniques but I wasn't at home that day.  Dad has some super soft stanky clay that he uses to work out some of his carvings and so I got into that this week. Maybe it's time to pull out my sculpture stuff again. Really do miss it - I enjoy that more than I do writing or drawing or... probably even eating LOL  Anyway... this clay was really soft stuff and it was hard to keep from smashing it or doing any real detail work - I mean, look at those ears HA!
