In a recent newsletter, the AIGA (the American Institute of Graphic Arts) had a wonderful article about how the RISO is becoming the darling of art schools!
I must admit, I was just astounded by some of the work being done with the humble digital duplicator, but it proves what I have often said that the quality of communications has so much less to do with the latest and greatest technology and has everything to do with the imagination and skills of the person working on it. Artists around the world are doing incredible things with the printers and their low-cost and versatility make it perfect for printing in the church.
Below is the link to the article, and then after that, some quotes from it and then some examples of images on sites that specialize in RISOGRAPH (aka the RISO Digital Duplicator). It really is inspiring! [Read more...]
Many churches do incredible things to communicate and I saw a fantastic one a few days ago I couldn't wait to share with you--this is a church information kiosk at New Life Community Church In Pismo Beach, CA. My husband and I attended the Global Leadership Summit at that site. To the left is what it looks like.
You'll be able to see right away what a great set-up it is because it is a revolving rack with the different topics on each side:
The racks on each side are attached with velcro so they can be moved or positioned as needed.
The best place to post church communications is the refrigerator. No matter how glued we are to our phones, the refrigerator is still communication central for every home because it's the place where we post the schedules, reminders, all the stuff that actually gets us to activities and ministries at church.
The second best place is the church bathroom.
Seriously.
Think about it, especially for the ladies. You have people's undivided attention, for a least a minute or so.
In the past I recommended this and got some great responses, both in terms of ingenuity and in how successful they can be. The one I remember most was the Stall Street Journal, a great summary of key church events that was published each week and posted in the bathrooms.
This last week my husband and I were at the Global Leadership Conference put on by Willow Creek. We were at the site at the New Life Community Church in Pismo Beach. My first stop after the drive from Ventura and a quick registration was of course the bathroom and there I saw the GREAT bathroom communication reminder posted here. [Read more...]
I needed this today--it's from our archives, but I thought you all might enjoy it.....
We all get exhausted and stressed in our work of church communications. What should we do? Isaiah gives us the answer and the 2 minute video below will help make it practical. Watch and be refreshed!
Isaiah 58:10 Feed the hungry,
and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually,
giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength.
