LifeSpring’s Weekly Church Bulletin

By Keith

Project:

Design the bulletin booklet that is handed to guests during Sunday morning worship service

This is an ongoing project, a new bulletin is created each Sunday. The bulletin is a first impression, a connecting point, a compass, and a notebook. It introduces you to the topic. First visually, then through words. It guides you through worship service, it informs you of future events. It goes home with you and gives you the opportunity to reflect, dig deeper, and apply the message to your life.

First Impression:

We wanted it to feel unique right from the point it reached your hand. We choose to print it on Legal size (8.5×14) to separate it from the usual and often used Letter size (8.5×11) page.

Introduction:

The sermon image starts you on your journey. It communicates where you are headed with text and visual to represent the topic of the sermon. Below are a few more samples of sermon images that have been used for the cover.

 Interior design:

I wanted the bulletin booklet to have an elegant open feel to it, with breathing room and consistency throughout. I created a slight wave to the line rules to connect conceptually with the water swirl of the LifeSpring logo and for added depth of detail. I also illustrated and added a lightly screened flourish to add another touch of elegance to the background. Below is a interior page spread.

Background cover spread:

The front and back cover has a wrap around lightly screened image that echos the cover/sermon image. This is one of my favorite features of the design conceptually. Each time there is a new concept for a new series it becomes the foreground of the screened image, while past concepts can still be seen as they fade further and further into the background. This gives a sense of history and of time.
Below you can see the progression, finishing with the current cover spread.
