I am a co-curator for the Affinity Art Gallery in Kernersville, NC. The Affinity Gallery is a non-profit art gallery that showcases local artists’ work in a commission-free space located on Main Street in Kernersville. The gallery space is in fact donated by my church, Kernersville Community Church. We repurposed the interior hallways of the [...]
Part of the branding project for Awaken City Church included a promotional build-up to their Grand Opening in January of 2010. The whole project has used an “underground” “power to the people” kind of vibe, so instead of investing into traditional media such as radio or television ads, we saved costs by creating business card-sized [...]
Another project for my church, Kernersville Community Church (KCC). This was a business card-size promotional piece done for a long-term KCC campaign to bless the surrounding community. During the hard economic climate, we decided to do something to tangibly help people. KCC members go out and pay for random people’s needs, for example, a KCC [...]
I always enjoy designing tee shirts for screen printing because it’s such a unique process. You see, when designing for screen printing, one can’t use gradients, shadows or other “effects” in the design. The reason for this would take too long to explain; the point is that it is a fresh challenge to the designer [...]
This was a long-term use, general purpose advertisement for a local church that was meant to draw college students to attend the church’s meetings. I used extensive retouching on a photograph of college students, and used a typeface that literally connects to itself to further push the idea of “connection”. Often what college students lack [...]
This was an Islam awareness seminar that our church hosted, featuring an American who teaches English in predominantly Muslim nations. The purpose of the seminar was to inform Americans of the history and culture of modern-day Muslims and to dispel the various myths surrounding them. The event consisted of two days of teaching and presentations, [...]
This was created to be a long-term general purpose advertisement for a local church. Their congregation is primarily made up of college students and young couples, so the card needed to aim squarely for that audience. In addition, they requested that the card look like their high-traffic website.
I started from scratch instead of using the [...]
I did this for my wife, Jessica this year. For those who don’t know her, she’s very creative, and loves art that’s organic, ‘outside the box’ and colorful. I always make her birthday and Christmas cards instead of buying something, and this year I went with a messy canvas with paint splatters as a theme. [...]
A local church is hosting a large, regional creative arts event, and hired me to head up the promotion for the event. I did some printed materials, as you can see above, including a 4×6 postcard design that functions as an invite card, with map and event information, and stands alone as a promotional piece, [...]
Another marketing component to the Awaken Youth Conference, the website needed to be a simple blog format that would encourage the leaders, speakers and workshop leaders to write articles. The purpose of it is to help the leaders get to know the students before the conference begins, and to let the students start conversations with [...]
