I love design, and one of the more recent things I’ve been fascinated with are kinetic type videos. Type is very communicative, there’s a lot you can do with just type and motion. Here are a couple of videos that illustrate it

Related Posts:A while back, I was on Pilgrim’s newsletter committee. I was on it to specifically do some design and layout stuff. I spent a little time and came up with the following design. It was meant to be printed and photocopied in black and white, and mailed out to some of our members. Pilgrim has always been a place that was proud of it’s history and tradition, but also was friendly and open, so I tried to capture both in the design, and keep it relatively light.
It was never used partially because of some wierdness that I’ve never completely figured out, and partially because I was the only person with InDesign, so nobody else could edit it. (Plus I never got any actual articles to be laid out). Anyway, enjoy the pics. Let me know if you have any critiques. Click to make the images bigger.
The front page. My plan was to have the masthead image be an image of the featured ministry that month/quarter
This was a pain to figure out. I still do't like the use of space here, but there are some things I really do like (like that baseline)
The back page: I actually really liked the back page.
edit: And now that I’m seeing this on my blog, I’m definitely noticing some design similarities here.
