DESIGN FOR THE MAINLINE
The Church needs to reach people. The Church needs to teach people.
Good visuals won’t make up for a lack of good content, but bad ones can turn people off to it. As a piece of my mission to help the mainline church reach beyond itself and proclaim the Good News, I make quality graphic design services available to churches at lower rates than you’ll find with other professional firms (though I design for individual people too!). I do everything from logos to curriculum layout to illustration to complete visual identity development. You can check out samples of my work below as well as find my pricing and how to contract with me below. And even if you decide not to hire me for design work, please take a look at some of the steps you can take to improve your visual identity.

INFOGRAPHICS
I really love infographics. They’re one of the most effective ways to communicate and help people retain information. Click on the graphics below to download any of these for free. I’ve also done a number of infographics for Forward Movement which you can purchase here.

PRICING
Portrait/Avi: $30–$50
These are pictures of you or your family (including pets!) done in my characteristic line art style. What I’ll need from you is a selfie, preferably straight on, that you want me to work from. Black and white is $30 per person in the picture and color is $50.
Logo and Visual Identity: $1000
Your church, organization, business, nonprofit, or personal brand deserves to be represented by something memorable and unique. There are plenty of places where you can get a logo pretty cheap. What you’ll get is a cheap logo. It will likely be from a template without any time or effort to communicate your particular style, needs, location, or character. On the other hand, when you work with me, what you get is a level of personalization that will yield a logo uniquely tailored to communicate the message you want in the most effective way possible. I’ll do research about the visual identities of organizations in your area, help you decide on fonts and colors that work for your visual identity, and incorporate, as possible and necessary, unique elements about your story and location. $1000 gets you one to two logo options. You will also get brand colors, typefaces (fonts) for all of your communications, and a visual identity guide that helps everyone in your organization implement your new logo and typefaces professionally. Additional options or extensive redesigns will be billed additionally at my hourly rate of $100. If you only need a logo and not a complete visual identity, you can also commission that for $750.
Custom Design: $100($150 rush)/hr
Need layout help for a devotional booklet? Want to produce your own hymnal? Need illustrations for a children’s program? Hoping to communicate to a confirmation class what different vestments are with an infographic? I’m ready and willing to do a whole range of custom graphic design, layout, and illustration work. Email me what you’re looking for below and I’ll give you a sense of whether what you need falls in my wheelhouse and then give you an estimate about how much time the job will take (and how much it will cost).
