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.

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.

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
