For these banners, the challenge was to represent “Life-Sharing Community” and “Life-Giving Mission” with a single graphic for each phrase. It was difficult to convey these abstract ideas with a strong graphic that is universally appealing, simple, and not cliché.

The idea of holding hands was an idea that came to me early on, but I thought it was creatively too simple. Exploring that idea further, I decided to use many handprints that come together to form the holding hands. This represents the idea of many people coming together to create a community.

This was more challenging because was it difficult to think of ways to not only represent “life” and “missions” individually, but to also connect them. I wanted to avoid using plants and a globe to represent life and missions since they tend to be very cliché.
