yup, that’s me

Had to pull a quick all night edit on this one. The trip was in July and I had shot all of the footage the week after they came back. Unfortunately after I shot it we had VBS, a ton of IT stuff happened, and I lead worship a week in there too. I was pleased with how it turned out, though in the version we showed in service I had misspelled Colombia (not the river . . . doh!).

The shoot itself was tough. I had to switch rooms in the middle of scheduled interviews. Unfortunately this meant for some inconsistnacy in lighting. The second room bounced way more light into the background so I had to sacrifice a little less light on the face to keep a dark background. Live and learn.

My friend, Jonathan, approached me and asked me to help him out. He needed business cards, a website, and a facebook page for his business. He wanted the design to be clear and clean. No frills, no junk, not too many colors just clean. The design of the site is done it just needs to get squeezed into wordpress and it’s all his.

His business cards were the fun part. In trying to think of a way to communicate clean, we settled on a plastic card from a company called Carderizer (www.carderizer.com). They were awesome to work with and the cards were worth every penny. The design of the cards is as you see below. Very simple but effective. Wherever there’s white there was no printing, just the clear portion of the translucent card.

And for the record, Jonathan does an amazing job. He knows how to get his windows to sparkle.

My good friend Sam approached me a while back about this idea he had. It was a big dream. He wanted to create a place where worship ministry volunteers and staff and pastors could connect, encourage each other, equip each other, and share ideas. It was a big vision. He wanted to have videos where he would share his heart for worship. Looking back it’s been great to be a part of DevelopingWorship. I respect Sam so much and have learned so much from him.

Apart from all of the videos I’ve shot and cut for him I’ve done a few little pieces of design. I put together some drop cards to help promote his website when he went to the Willowcreek arts conference. These went through quite a few iterations; different fonts, backgrounds and colors. Final result:

Developing Worship Drop Cards

Side projects being what they are, sometimes it’s hard to get to the very last stages of finalization. In this case I had a hard time integrating phpBB into wordpress. 90% of the site is the forum. But I did put together a wordpress skin (from scratch) for the site. It looks nice, not quite sure why we didn’t put it out. Check it out.
