DIY design 1 - introduction
26 March 2008 Jeff Gill
This is the start of a series of articles about practical things that will be useful to people in small creative churches (and sometimes business).
For those of you who don’t know, I am not just one of the pastors at my church, I am also a *world-famous graphic designer.
See the holy light of creativity shining from my mind? That’s why I’m world-famous.
If your church is anything like mine, you produce all or almost all of your leaflets, posters, handouts, ads, etc. in house. But, unlike my church, your’s probably doesn’t have a world-famous graphic designer to design all those pieces of communication. That’s why I am writing this series.
I am here to Save The Day.
At no charge to you.
In less than 600 steps I am going to help you create effective communications materials for your church (or small business).
For Free.
You should tell everyone you know who does a bit of DIY design for their church or business about this series. They may find it Very Useful. Before you decide not to tell anyone, please consider this true story: A man in County Cork Ireland didn’t email anyone about an article I wrote. He died three days later.**
*I live in Wales and my mother in Tucson, Arizona is very proud of me.
**It is probably illegal for me not to tell you that the man’s death was very likely not connected to my article. He didn’t know I had written it. But still…
