"White Christmas" Ryan Johns
Ryan looked me up a few weeks back and told me about this single he was working on for Christmas. He sent me a preview of the music, and since I'm a sucker for smooth holiday jams, I had to jump on the project. The best part is he featured his 85 year old grandfather on the track. Go to itunes now and download this single to add to your Christmas playlist.

"Can You See It" Poster Design Screenlapse
I had the opportunity to design a poster and keyart for Southeaster Spanish District's 2012 Youth Convention. In talking with the director, he wanted artwork to show something big coming. The type was created in Cinema 4D with some compositing, texturing and color treatment in photoshop to finish it off. Below is a screen-lapse recording of the design process from beginning to end.

Impact Sermon Series
This past weekend we launched a new sermon series at PVC. The series is primarily based on the idea of the positive impact we should have and how those experiences connect to others.
The design itself was pretty simple, a image with some vector connection orbs and a bit curves color toning. The haziness of the image and how it focused not on the person but the action of touching something is what I wanted to communicate.
Once the artwork was approved the idea of making it into a bumper video came up. This was a challenge our team quickly jumped on.
The frosted galss look was accomplished by sitcking a window treatment film, we purchased at Home Depot for $20, over a normal piece of plexiglass. The rest was editing magic by my brother Oz.
