I have been out of the church graphic design business for quite a while now, but I recently had the chance to get back to my roots and create some graphics for my current church (pastored by Heidi's dad). Thanks to the opportunity I had to work with two of the top designers in the industry, I've picked up a few tricks along the way. Here are some of the highlights:
Key graphic for one of the messages of the current series, "I AM":
Standard-issue promotion slides that rotate on-screen before service:
I fully admit that this next slide is a complete plagiarism of CCV's Class 100 graphic. In the epic battle of innovation vs. duplication, duplication inevitably gets a win from time to time. I figured the gods of design would forgive me as long as I copied the best.
I am especially proud of this last graphic because its an original piece by my beautiful wife. She's come a long way in her ability to visualize and create things in Photoshop, and I felt that this design deserved some public recognition.

I let duplication slide when it comes from a friend. :) Man.. these are all SO SOLID!!! I Love the the children's and nursery slides especially... Really nice work. You should do freelance work! Oh wait... you are. :)
Unfortunately, I put the FREE in freelance. :)
Those are freakin' awesome... for realz.
You are so talented, Michael, really. I think you need to do less free freelancing.... but it just demonstrates the servant's heart that you have. Nice work.
Love them - especially the I AM slide and Heidi's Easter Egg Hunt.
CPC is so blessed to have you and Heidi!! You are both very creative and talented people! Dad and I owe you big time -- will homemade noodles help! Love you, Mom S.
I love these!!! And I must say I'm pretty proud of myself for recognizing right off the bat the "Ma Sexy" font on Heidi's!!
Very good guys!!!
Love, Dixiemama
Michael, as usual, these are GREAT. I am a little alarmed by mom's recognition of the "Ma Sexy" (???!?!?) font. Nice, mom. ;-)
Love, Erin
