Planting the Flag Campaign

Well, seeing as how it's been over a month since I last posted, I figured I should at least throw out a quick update to all my loyal readers. Because there are so many of you.

Here goes ...

The past month has pretty much been dedicated to our church Giving Campaign. Not quite sure how, but I ended up as the one and only person responsible for all the promotional and print materials. Nice! It's been a lot of work, but it's been pretty cool to be tied in so closely with all that's going on. Our church is in the process of trying to purchase some land, so all of our literature and promo pieces focus on our theme for the campaign "Planting the Flag". Below are some of the pieces I've been working on:

Planting the Flag Logo



Planting the Flag Overview Brochure (size: 7.5" x 10" – 16 pages)



Planting the Flag Banquet Invitation & RSVP Card




Planting the Flag Magnet (party favor for our Celebration Banquet – size: 2.5" x 3.5")



Planting the Flag Commitment Card (size: 4" x 9.25")



Planting the Flag Prayer Devotional Cover (size: 8.5" x 5.5")



Planting the Flag Dessert Fellowship Postcard Invitation (size: 8.5" x 5.5")



Planting the Flag Communication Template Sheet (size: 8.5" x 11")



Along with the pieces shown above there have also been lots of other smaller things I've been working on for the campaign – stickers for the Children's Ministry collection bank project & Planting the Flag Play-doh project, graphics for DVD presentations on Planting the Flag, Commitment checks for the youth group to write out their donations for the Planting the Flag campaign...there are more, but I won't bore you with all of them. Case in point, it's been a BUSY past several weeks, but looking back it's been a great experience. I've had the opportunity to work closely with many people from our church who I didn't know all that well, and more importantly, I've been able to use my gifts and talents to glorify God as we as a church seek to further His kingdom here on earth. Can't beat that!

My "real" job has also been keeping me busy with miscellaneous projects such as business card designs, brochures, package design concepts for General Mills, etc. Always something to do ... and as I always say, never a dull moment!
