Bankrupt.

The next series we’re doing here at CCV is called Bankrupt.  Pretty good timing for a financial series considering the current state of the economy.  The static artwork was done by my coworker Kyle.  I love how we were able to parody the board game look for this one… I think Kyle did a great job of changing things up to make it work.

This is the motion graphics that our video team put together.  I’m stoked about what they were able to produce for this series, they worked it out this time around!!

Great example of our Graphics and Video team working together to produce some top notch work!  Cheers fellas!

Simple Christmas.

This is the final artwork for our upcoming Christmas series.  Oddly enough, we are doing our Christmas series in November…. and not extending it into the month of December.  The thinking behind that was actually pretty logical.  The series is about getting back to the heart and simplicity of Christmas; slowing down our busy, consumer minded lives and bring it back to the birth of a Savior.  We figured that if we did this series in December, it would be too late to get people to rethink the Christmas season, because most people’s Christmas season begins in November.

Also, I thought it would be fun to show a screenshot of the layers from the working file for this design.  There were close to 100 layers on this one, which is probably higher than normal.  I think my average layer count is in the 70’s.
