TV24 News Opening

TV24 News Open 2009 from Richard White on Vimeo.

Here's a News Opening I did for the local tv station WJXS TV24 here in Anniston. I really rather like the final product and am very pleased with it. It is produced in full HD and you should PLEASE watch it in full HD at this link: http://www.vimeo.com/3190744. The one above is an SD version, while good, it doesn't portray the quality that the HD does. Let me know what you think!

The River

Another design collaboration with Holly! This one is Holly almost entirely, with me throwing in some direction here and there. I'm really proud of this design, and there are the two versions, the "rapids" version and the "calm waters" version. For the official, we went with the "calm waters" version, as inspired by the River of Life in scripture and a prophecy spoken over Word Alive.

Little Book of Poems

Cover design for a forthcoming book by Beverly Mattox, featuring some poetry she has written over the years. This is an iconic looking poetry cover, but it is beautiful, no? This was a project I worked on with Tihana from Croatia. I miss her.

2008 Christmas Cards

Here's the design for Word Alive/Kent and Bev's Christmas Card design for 2008. I rather like this!

County Info Guide

The Cover to the County Info Guide Media Kit. Coming soon? Perhaps. The intention behind this design, which I feel I have accomplished, was a grungy country/modern design. Strange combo, I know, but I believe it works with the statue of Mr Noble there.

Mixed Media Logo

Here's a little logo I designed for an as yet realized company with my friend Josh.

Life Book

This is the front and back of a saddle stitched book designed for the Life Groups at Word Alive. This little book served as a directory for our seasonal life groups. Based on the old Milton Bradley Game of LIFE, I gave it a distressed look and rounded corners. The back was intended to mirror the game board and also communicate what was, at the time, our Life Track process. I was really pleased with the outcome of this project.

Brown Bagging Thanksgiving!

This was just a flyer for our Thanksgiving assistance last year in 2008. There's nothing truly spectacular about the design, I just really enjoyed the colors and the fact that it was yet another project Holly was involved in. If I had to do it over again and I had more time, I would have purposed the text on the bag with much more design in mind. However, I only had about an hour to turn it around for printing, so I stuck with the "generic" text. It was effective anyway.

The Basics

This design was for a series that ran at Word Alive during the month of July last year. We went with the "basics" at these services, without the normal hoopla of planning to give a sabbatical to the media and other areas. I wasn't overly thrilled initially with this design, so I did not post it originally. I have since received many comments on it, so I decided it should be included in this run of posts!

Glory to The Lamb

Here's a design done for a friend of mine, Robin Smyre. I didn't spend as much time with the design as I originally hoped I would be able to and I think the design suffered a little because of it. Sorry Robin! This was another project that Holly and I both did together - I know that it's not the best, but it served it's purpose.

24/7 Angel

Here's a design done a while back, a collaboration between Holly Smith, my protege and me. This was our first major project together and it came out well. Hope you enjoy!

It HAS been a while!

Well, It's been a loooong time since my last post. There've been so many projects and Holidays in between that I kind of let this blog get a little run down and out of date. I'm going to update some things today to catch up my blog with some designs. Hope you enjoy!

I Just Can't Turn and Walk Away.

This is my latest design! I'm very proud of this one. Based on Acts 26, this design is a "modern-ish" artistic retelling of Saul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. in Acts 26, Paul tells King Agrippa of his vision. the message translation says it best:

"One day on my way to Damascus, armed as always with papers from the high priests authorizing my action, right in the middle of the day a blaze of light, light outshining the sun, poured out of the sky on me and my companions. Oh, King, it was so bright! We fell flat on our faces. Then I heard a voice in Hebrew: 'Saul, Saul, why are you out to get me? Why do you insist on going against the grain?'
"I said, 'Who are you, Master?'
"The voice answered, 'I am Jesus, the One you're hunting down like an animal. But now, up on your feet—I have a job for you. I've handpicked you to be a servant and witness to what's happened today, and to what I am going to show you.
"'I'm sending you off to open the eyes of the outsiders so they can see the difference between dark and light, and choose light, see the difference between Satan and God, and choose God. I'm sending you off to present my offer of sins forgiven, and a place in the family, inviting them into the company of those who begin real living by believing in me.'
"What could I do, King Agrippa? I couldn't just walk away from a vision like that! I became an obedient believer on the spot. I started preaching this life-change—this radical turn to God and everything it meant in everyday life—right there in Damascus, went on to Jerusalem and the surrounding countryside, and from there to the whole world.

The line "I couldn't just walk away from a vision like that!" became the theme and we got the title from the Sister Hazel song "All For You". The model in the middle (heh.) is none other than my right-hand man, John Crutchfield! Enjoy!

New Oil, or a New Anointing

Here's the third and final design in this series. Note the manly arm in this design. That's my manly arm. I'll do anything to get into the shot!

New Word

The second design in the "New" Series for Pastor Kent.

New Song or Praise!

This was the first in a line of designs for a series Kent was preaching on the New in May. These designs proved to be a huge hit and I like them as well. Lesli Willingham helped me design these and I think we did a great job together. Bravo, us!

Word Alive Academy Ad

Here's an ad I created for a local "Family Friendly Directory" for Word Alive Academy. I had a lot of fun with this one and I believe it came out well.

grow green

Here's the original design for the Grow series at Word Alive. We were originally going to go for the ever-so-popular green look, but, considering that the subject was about building to grow and centered on construction, I found it a conflict of interest. I still think this is a cool design, though.

Michael Waters' Program Ad

Here's a design I did for some friends of mine. Their son was inducted into the National Honor Society, so they took out an ad in the local football program to recognize his accomplishments. Here is said ad!

Growchure - the Grow Brochure

Whoa. Once again, it has been many moons since I have posted on this here blog. This is a design done for Word Alive for a brochure for our Grow campaign. This has been an instrumental tool in communicating the vision of Our Connection at Word Alive.

Haggai: Zerubbabel, God's Signet Ring

This is my latest design for a message at Word Alive... when I heard that the message was on Haggai, I read the book and the last thing God says to Zerubbabel really struck a chord with me. He said that God would make him His signet ring. After a little digging, I found that was significant because God had cursed Zerubbabel's grandfather Jeconiah years earlier that denied his offspring a kingly blessing and rule. It was very interesting how, 70 years later, God forgave Zerubbabel through his obedience. So, this design was the direct influence of scripture and I'm quite fond of it!

A Resurrected Spirit

Here's the design for this year's Resurrection Day services. The service centers around the 7 sayings of Christ on the cross and how they correlate to the 7 gifts of the spirit. I wasn't sure about this design in the beginning, but it has grown on me a bit. Let me know if'n ya likes.

Cultivating Community

Here's a design for a future campaign here at Word Alive. This series was supposed to begin after Resurrection Day, but has been postponed to a later date. I had finished the design a few weeks ago, so I thought I would share it with all two of you who visit this blog ;). Tell me if you like it, Andrew.

Gold Fever Part 3!

Here's the final episode of Gold Fever. This one's my favorite for obvious reasons. I hope you like it. All one of you.
