I'm a total sucker for using yellow/shades of grey/white in design! I don't doubt there was much deliberation over wording. I find that kind of thing a great challenge to do well. Not because there isn't lots of great adjectives and meaning-laden descriptors to choose from... but the balance between using words to describe what we are now and what we hope to become. I've pressed buttons on this here at church in regards to advertising because you want to create a bit of hype/vibe... but are new people coming in expecting an experience that lives up to the advertising when you are describing who you are becoming or hope to become... but in all honesty not who you yet are. So what do these people experience? Most won't worry about it if they still have a positive experience... but will others feel a tinge of false advertising? How do you then give people more than they were expecting if you've already set their expectations to maximum by using all the uber-words? No doubt that talented folks like Dean and flowerdust and others more versed in the world of ads/marketing/communication have more wisdom than I in this. Hopefully others will share their thoughts because I need more wisdom in this area! nooc flyer looks great. I’m a total sucker for using yellow/shades of grey/white in design!

The colours go well together too! I think the yellow adds brightness, but the grey mellows the yellow...ha ha mellow yellow. Getting more and more excited about our trip there!

Great stuff. Dean, what a fabulous trip. I'm so jealous. I am the road trip queen! I wish I could go to one of the conferences but I'm flat broke; next time! I'll be praying for safe travels and God to do his will with the conferences and meetings. :-) -Mel Sam, Love the flyer. Great stuff.

Busy, busy, busy. You know, Alex and Niza have been staying with us for weeks now (it's been great to have them around) and we're approaching the home stretch to get them to Orlando. Michael and Erica are headed to Brazil in a couple of weeks. Niza and Lucas are flying to Orlando to find an apartment. Alex and I leave L.A. on the 30th of this month to drive their car cross-country (5 days) to Orlando. Yes, we'll be posting the "VOXing Across the American South" road trip. Once we're there, I get a day's rest then spend two days coordinating with Northland Community Church facilities director concerning HUMANA 2.0 for February '07. Then, Alex and I fly out of Orlando to Atlanta to begin a solid month of the '06 Makers of Fire Tour. Atlanta, Chattanooga, Detroit, Montreal, Chicago, Kansas City, Providence, home. It will be great, but long. We'll be traveling all of September. I'm really looking forward to it, but I'll miss my beautiful Tina. You guys will have to keep her busy with posts so she won't get too lonely. One great thing though is that in-between Chicago and Kansas City she's going to fly out and meet me in Manhattan for four days to do nothing but celebrate our anniversary. So, whew, fun huh? Pray for us, we make most of this up as we go along. Thanks, we’re great. Busy, busy, busy.

I think we've probably got the wording on the back right now. And I like the additional yellow flowers. Liking it all lots. Good work honey This is my favourite thing we’ve done so far!
