The next series we’re doing here at CCV is called Bankrupt.  Pretty good timing for a financial series considering the current state of the economy.  The static artwork was done by my coworker Kyle.  I love how we were able to parody the board game look for this one… I think Kyle did a great job of changing things up to make it work.

This is the motion graphics that our video team put together.  I’m stoked about what they were able to produce for this series, they worked it out this time around!!

Great example of our Graphics and Video team working together to produce some top notch work!  Cheers fellas!

It seems as though the networking gods have shined upon me and I’m humbled to say the least. CreativeMYK is a website that allows Christian designers to post their work, get critiques, discuss topics and create their own “Artist Space” to showcase their work. As it turns out, they decided to use me as one of their “Featured Space” artists for the next few weeks. This is humbling because I know there are so many other VERY talented designers in this network, one of which is my coworker Kyle!

It’s a privilege to be recognized amongst such a talented group of artists!

“If before choosing a course of action; you look around, look within, look ahead and look up, you will make much better choices and achieve much greater results.”

This is another short excerpt from The Samson Syndrome. It’s a very challenging thought on many levels.  It speaks to the element of patience which I’ve already talked about a couple of times here on my blog, and I’m still working on that.  It also speaks to the issue of integrity, looking around and looking within before you choose a particular course of action.  But most importantly, it speaks to the issue of spiritual character. When you “look up” before you choose your course of action, you then make the decision to continue on or choose a different course based on what you’ve seen in God. “Looking up“ is about acknowledging the beauty of God and making your decisions based on what you’ve seen. It’s the author’s contention, and mine as well, that if we look up and truly see the beauty and heart of God, it will or should change our course of action for the better.

Challenging thoughts for those of us who follow Christ:  Look around, look within, look ahead and LOOK UP!

I’m always stoked to a church come out with a redesign of their website and a rebranding scheme as well.  Newspring just launched their new site - pretty cool stuff.  I love their new look.  Check it out if you have a minute.

Makes me excited to see the launch of our new web design coming up at the end of the summer!  Can’t wait!!
