I again had the pleasure of helping our friends over at the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches by creating the official event program for their debut solo event, The Sufficiency of Scripture 2009.
The 36-page program is printed in full color and, in addition to the standard program page template that I designed, contains a number of custom-designed ads as well (Vision Forum’s new film The Mysterious Islands, Answers in Genesis’ Creation Museum, NCFIC’s upcoming events, etc.).

Family Reformation is a recently completed project for Scott Brown, Director of the National Center for Family Integrated Churches. Family Reformation is a 336-page book on Calvin’s view on family life and is the first paperback book I have designed. Here is an excerpt of the description:
“While the doctrine of salvation was reformed during the sixteenth century, so were marriage, manhood, womanhood, courtship, child raising, fertility, and many other areas of family life. John Calvin never wrote a book on the family, but he touched off a family reformation resulting in a massive restructuring of the most fundamental institution of society.” [Click here to read more]

For the second time now, I’ve enjoyed designing a CD cover for Charlie Zahm. Charlie knew exactly what he wanted for the design — from the layout to the image selection — and that made designing the cover a real pleasure! The CD includes a great selection of classic hymns and other tunes such as Nearer My God to Thee, How Great Thou Art and more. You can listen to a few samples and purchase the album on his Web site at www.charliezahm.com.

Getting to redesign the book To Have and to Hold was particularly enjoyable for me. It not only generally brings back memories of the Jamestown Quadricentennial event, which was a special event for Melissa and me, but it is something that my wife and I discovered early on in our communication that we both loved. It was among the first of what we later discovered were a million things we had in common.
Although I was quite fond of the original Vision Forum design, I still thoroughly enjoyed getting to design the cover to one of my all-time favorite books. You can view the book online and read more details on Vision Forum’s web site.

The Little Boy Down the Road is the the third book I have had the pleasure of designing and typesetting, and I have found that I have a particular fondness for working with books!

On this, the 500th anniversary of the birth of one of the most influential men of all time, it was my great honor to design and typeset this wonderful book. The book was written originally by Philip Vollmer, but also includes new portions by Dr. Joseph Morecraft, III, a wonderful historian and beloved man almost single-handedly responsible for igniting my passion for the Reformation and the men of that time.

Fully titled The Princess Adelina: An Ancient Christian Tale of Beauty and Bravery, this is the first book I have had the pleasure of designing and typesetting. The story is centered around a young girl in 8th-century Germany who is swept into royalty when she unwittingly wins the affections of the Herzog (duke or prince) of the region known as Thuringia.
Based on a true story, this Esther-like tale recounts the deeds of the courageous “Princess” Adelina of the ancient German Culdee church as she endures and overcomes persecution, slander, exile, and the impending destruction of her people and how she is used by God to see the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ shine forth and prevail!

This Web site was created for Vision Forum, and more specifically as a blog for Joshua Phillips and a venue for posting various articles pertaining to boys’ literature. The construction of the site was a collaborative effort in which I designed the appearance of the homepage and sub-pages, coded the various sections, including the blog, image gallery and articles section, and helped in part with the “hooking up” of the site to the content management system (CMS) Moveable Type. The site utilizes CSS heavily and is written in PHP.

Accompanying the live concert DVD project, this Charlie Zahm CD design included a four-panel front insert, back cover design, disc design and inner traycard design.

This was one of a number of sites created for the Jamestown 400 treasure hunt, part of the Quadricentennial Celebration hosted by Vision Forum Ministries. Designing the site was tricky, as we had to try to make it believable and at the same time had limited time to invest in the project. Now that the hunt is over I don’t know how long the site will stay up, but clicking on the image at right will take you to that URL.
