Ignite Church

Ignite Church in Pekin came on as a subscription client. The lead pastor handled vision for sermon series art. The office manager handled the steady drumbeat of event slides, flyers, and announcement graphics.

The work

Across the engagement, shipped work includes sermon series packages, fall-themed livestream slides, Newcomer's Lunch and Quick Connect templates designed to be reused across the year, Flashpoint Youth Ministry graphics, holiday slides, and the Fall Kickoff banner. Most requests came in with multiple sizes: a 1920x1080 for projection, a 4.43" x 2.25" flyer cut, and sometimes a banner crop. The standing approach was to produce the design once, get approval, and then size it out so nothing got duplicated mid-revision.

Projector color was a real conversation early on. The fall slides were pulled up on the sanctuary projector and the yellow tones were reading differently than on the design monitor. Revised palettes were sent and a color set was agreed on for the projector before committing the rest of the fall designs. That kind of calibration is part of what a subscription relationship buys that one-off projects do not.

The Newcomer's Lunch and Quick Connect templates were the longest-tail piece of work. The ask was two related templates reusable across the ministry year by swapping only the dates. After locking the look, both print sizes and working AI files were handed back so the team could update dates themselves going forward. Good subscription work should leave the client able to keep using the system on their own schedule.

In their words

"We're so appreciative of the work that you've done for us (you've been great to work with)."
