Identity Shirt

This is part of a larger event Promotion Package for Swift Creek's Disciple Now. Original Design is handling every type of promotion and design for the event. The theme for the event is "Identity," so we're going with a retro spy look. Here's a look at the shirt we just finished up:

Hickory Withe / D-Now Shirt

Got a frantic call last night from Daniel, the concerned Student Pastor at FBC Hickory Withe. He needed a shirt design within 24 hours for his upcoming Disciple Now and every door was being shut in his face. Ever since our days as colleagues, Daniel has been an admirer (maybe) of my work...so much so that, once he became a Student Pastor, he (with my approval) has continued to "borrow" my designs for his Student Ministry.

Anyway, I was glad I could help out. Here's the finished product. Start-to-finish: 3 hours.

Here are the final four concepts:

Identity Brochure

This blog post will self-destruct in 2 minutes...

This brochure is part of a larger promotion package for an event for Swift Creek. This was a really fun project inspired by mid-century spy design (Get Smart, James Bond, etc.). The thumbprint within the logo works really well on two levels: 1) Fits with the whole espionage theme, and 2) Conveys meaning for the word "Identity."

Check back for updates on what's next in the Identity Promotion Package project...

Business Cards!

There's always overwhelming pressure on a designer when he has to design something for himself or his business. This pressure has always haunted me. However, it recently came to my attention that I was in desperate need of Original Design business cards. So I embarked on the treacherous design journey of creating a graphic designer's graphic design.

The result:
Created with care and hand-cut (each card!) with love!

Next time you see me, ask for one! Or, if you really want to be a pal, click this, print it out, and cut some up yourself to pass out to your friends:
