Reese made this in Probe. The scan turned out more blue/yellow as opposed to the actual purple/yellow. I could correct this, but it’s just fine.

This is one of a series of images that I created for Ferguson Christian Church. I’m the volunteer web developer and this year, I’ve been concentrating a bit more on graphics to help divide the page and direct the eye. I’m not a graphical designer, but I’m learning. For an upcoming sermon series (called “It’s Time to Check Your Pulse”), I wanted a graphic that would convey the idea of checking a pulse, and was stark enough to grab attention. This graphic was created from a Creative Commons image found at saramax, although this link is no longer valid. I cropped it and added text. Thank you for using Creative Commons, but I wish the link had stayed available.

For an upcoming sermon series (called “That’s Gonna Leave a Mark!”), I wanted to use an action photo of someone getting an injury or crashing in a semi-comical way. As it turned out, I had taken a photo the previous summer of Josh (Joni’s son) diving into the Edwards’ pool with some wild abandon, resulting in this great shot. Thanks Josh! I cropped it in Photoshop and added the text with an off color drop shadow.

This is one of a series of images that I created for Ferguson Christian Church. I’m the volunteer web developer and this year, I’ve been concentrating a bit more on graphics to help divide the page and direct the eye. I’m not a graphical designer, but I’m learning. This image I did for practice and to convey the power and relevancy of prayer. In usage, above the image, I added a text header that asks simply “Does God Answer Prayer?” The Bible answers this clearly: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7 NIV I admit that this image is originally taken from the collection of “Sample Pictures” that come with Windows Vista. As such, it is a derivative work based on another copyrighted work.

I edited it entirely in Paint.net. I cropped it and added a radiant blur effect centered on the sun in the background. I played with the color just a bit and then added the text of the Bible verse.

In this case, I wanted a small graphic to use as a background image behind an Easter “call-to-action” invitation. I created this by scratch in Paint.net. In usage, I placed this behind the invitation for any would-be Choir members to come to practice for the Easter Cantata -which was a success. In the code for this section I added a mid-sized heading and one small paragraph of black text. I will probably reuse this someday.

Socialthing! was featured on del.icio.us home page today. This was most likely due to an article at TechCrunch as well as publicity at SXSW. Congratulations Matt!
