Cultivator

Developing some concept art to go along with a theme of cultivating yourself spiritually. Some of these will be incorporated into a video I am developing.

Four Friends

A drawing of four Spanish friends hanging out. Once again I utilized my Wacom pad to draw this picture. As I drew this in Photoshop based on a photo I found on the internet, I enjoyed choosing colors to keep the Spanish feel of the people in the photo. I wanted to insure my work was true to the warmth I felt in the picture.

Converting Photo's to Drawings by Hand (Well by Wacom Pad)

In further preparation to animate people for a video about small group ministries at SFN which will be starting soon, I drew the faces of people in the congregation using photoshop. No filters were used. I drew these faces using my wacom pad and utilizing the different tools, mainly the paintbrush, color sampler, and fill. I started with the faces at the top and finished with the faces at the bottom. I experimented with different brush sizes as I drew each face.

And below is a view of them side by side with the photo I used as a model.

Connect Group Video Prebuild

Recently started work on an animated video that will be used to advertise the Connect Groups to be started at SFN Church. The image is a graphic of Pastor Brandin. It's a place marker for right now until we determine who will do the voice over, then I will animate that person and match up their audio. The bubble will contain words and symbols that relate to what is being said.

Group Connect Concept Graphic

This concept graphic is for a program to get people connected in small groups. The design borrows elements used in ad graphics from the 1950's.

SFN Seating Configuration Redesign

As SFN church had surpassed the 80% seating ration in its sanctuary, Pastor Brandin asked if I could design a new seating configuration that would maximize the space to accommodate more people. So I took some rough measurements of the room and measured the seat dimensions to be able to create this new seating arrangement. Originally they had 3 sections of seating that were long rows and all facing forward. I found that by splitting the outside rows and angling them in, I could increase seating, as well as open the seating up. This gave the appearance of more room, provided more seating in the sanctuary and actually saved seating, as people tend to sit on the outside of the rows. With the long rows, this would result in unused seating, as people tend not to want to walk over people to get to a seat. By making the rows shorter (5 seats) on the wings, this resulted in fewer seats that would remain empty and increased overall seating in the sanctuary. This current configuration will seat 267 when you include the seats on the back wall. And it would be no problem to add extra seats and bump this number up to 300 with ease.

SFN kidz Connection Logo

 

The children's ministry logo at SFN Church was dated and I needed a current one for a video advertising Wednesday night summer program. I specifically designed this logo to be kid friendly. Using bright colors, silhouettes of children having fun and being active and I used a font similar to what Nickelodeon uses as a means of highlighting that this program is for children. I outlined the silhouettes in white and shaded them to help them pop out from the graphic. The cross in the logo is part of SFN's brand and was inserted to create a connection to the overall church.
