Objective: To design a monthly newsletter that shares church updates, devotionals, event announcements, and community stories in a format that is warm, approachable, and easy to read. The goal was to build a consistent communication piece that would strengthen connection among parish members and reflect the welcoming spirit of the church’s mission; both in print and digital formats.
Role: I led the full design process, from concept to final delivery each month. Working closely with church leadership and content contributors, I helped define a visual tone that aligned with the church’s identity; respectful, faith-centered and community-driven.
Key responsibilities included:
• Creating a clean, inviting layout for readability and structure
• Establishing a typographic system for consistency across sections
• Selecting imagery and design accents that supported a faithful and uplifting tone
• Managing ongoing production timelines to ensure on-time distribution
