The Family Works Series Design
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at 02:50PM We just started a new series this past weekend titled "THE FAMILY WORKS". We wanted something fresh and fun that would carry over 8 weeks.
A few days before going to print we had a change of direction along with a new series title. The whole process was stretching but also came with a great sense of accomplishment when finished.
I have to give some props to the team members here at PVC that helped me push through the design. I love that these guys aren't impressed with my bag of tricks but can tell it like it is.
I'm sure it would have been easier to create this using some sort of 3D software but I can't use what I don't have. I created the basic shapes in Illustrator and apply the 3D bevel effect. After bringing the pieces into photoshop I adjusted colors, and added textures. I also used some blurring effects to give it some depth.
One of the things we like to do every quarter is switch up the worship guide layout. This is a pretty basic layout nothing fancy just cut to bleed and folded in half. The simplicity of the layout helped give more real estate for body copy. I was able to bump up our normal body text up one point. (very exciting stuff, well at least for those with reading glasses)
The production team came up with a sick stage design. Thank God for volunteers, air guns & spandex. They were able to transform the stage in 2 days. They built a 14ft x 7ft screen for the middle and mounted a old projector to splash stills and video.
