Portraits Postcard

Just sent off the final files for the Perimeter Ladies Ministry Summer Interview Series for Young Women. They call it 1000 Portraits Paint One Picture. Each week, there will be an interview with a super cool young lady, served along with yummy desserts and coffee. As far as the design goes, we were going for stylish, inviting, comfortable, warm, yet still conveying our concept of portraits (i.e. interviews that paint a portrait).



This is a great solution for them. I'm very excited about our result. It really suits the environment and the ultimate goals of the series. Here are some of the other concepts we liked a lot but didn't feel fit the right solution.







They're young, high fashion, and magazine style. But ultimately, they don't convey the right mood. They're too glitzy-formal. Getting away from the risk of singling out particular types of women, we decided to go more abstract---more object oriented. Here are some favorites.





The apple option points to our innate common ground, sin, which started with a piece of fruit. I really enjoyed this project. Can you tell?

Perimeters Night of Worship

The past several weeks have been exciting for God's given me the opportunity to concept on several projects involving my faith. I also get to serve in the choir occasionally when I'm not traveling to shoot a wedding. These two areas of service, design and music, come together is this latest project where several worship leaders will lead the congregation in worship on Sunday evening, June 8th, while being recorded to a CD–hence "Night of Worship". Here is the design direction chosen for the CD's cover.



The textures are contemporary and the tower points to the location. As communications manager Scott Logan put it (paraphrased), "This cover is particular to Perimeter. Without it, any church could claim the design. The tower makes this design unique."

Compassion in Action

Through an organization of churches called Unite!, help is being brought to so many places across North Atlanta, crossing denominational, racial, and socio-economic lines. Hands On Atlanta helped organize this massive effort while the churches responded with volunteers, logistics, and time. Driveways were made, school yards were cleaned up, bathrooms painted, treat bags made for teachers in appreciation, houses cleaned, as well as many many more projects all across Gwinnett and Fulton counties.


At Norcross High School, teams of volunteers from all different churches worked together to lay straw, pick up trash, blow debris off sidewalks and driveways, as well as paint bathrooms.

In the cafeteria, goodie bags were made in appreciation for the teachers of Norcross High School. Many families showed up to work side by side like this little girl and her dad.



At Wellspring, a transitional house for women, a sidewalk and driveway were poured (that's hard work) while women and teens painted and deep cleaned the inside.



They didn't forget one part of the house, including the shutters!

Postcard Invite

Perimeter Church, a leading church in the Southeast, hosts a covered-dish dinner once a month to tell the basic story of where they've been as well give a tour of the facility for those unfamiliar with it. They call it Taste of Perimeter. Soon they'll be focusing each Taste of Perimeter on a target age group. The first will be the young professionals 18-35 whose ministry they call the Gathering. Here is the postcard they'll be sending out promoting the evening.



This is the mailable side.



You can check out their website at www.perimeter.org/gathering. It's real clean, geometric, and contemporary–a really good look for them.
