Misfits Graphic Theme

I developed a graphic for FCC's Misfits (Christmas) series, using Blender 3D. I don't usually do characters, so this was a novel project for me.

Series Graphic in 3D: No Guts, No Glory

I've been learning bits and pieces of 3D design over the past year, and I recently picked it back up to create some series graphics for FCC.

For the series "No Guts, No Glory" (which starts on Memorial Day weekend and includes Father's Day as well), I used dog tags to give it a US Army vibe. I wanted something with edge, and something that piques every guy's interest. The blood gave it that final punch - that final idea of sacrifice and bravery for something better.

Making a Billboard

I love tackling projects that require expanding into new territory, so I was glad when Foothills Community Church asked me to create content for a billboard campaign called "Could This Be Church." The desire was for it to catch attention, spark curiosity, and direct passers-by to a site (CouldThisBeChurch.com), which would be a landing page to invite people to FCC's services and website.

The team decided that the graphics should convey some of the best unique features of the church in a way that people could notice in the time it takes to drive by. Here's what I put together:
CTBC6 24x12
I had a big desire to show so many more pictures - kids enjoying church, teenagers greeting newcomers, small groups meeting, members doing service projects in the community... I could go on. But after sifting through tons of billboard images - good and bad - it became obvious that the best billboards are optimized for the GLANCE. So I kept it to three dominant elements and composed it for clarity and cohesion. Oh, and I adapted the style from a Conan O'Brien billboard I found online:

Finally, different boards require different formats. You can see the last, massive one driving from Seneca to Clemson. I call it the "double-wide." er... double-tall? I don't know...
