As a graphic designer, I had worked with numerous clients, but this project was unique. "Overcomers Faith Covenant Assembly" will be hosting their Gathering of Worshippers concert on 16th November, 2025, and I was tasked with designing an online flyer that will also be printed on a 3x4 feet flex banner.
The theme of the program, "Goodness and Mercy" resonated deeply with me. I knew I had to create something captivating and inspiring. After Praise Amadi had send me all the write-up and the pictures of all the Ministers the will appear on the flyer, I began by cropping the pictures to remove the original backgrounds of those pictures, I the moved the PNG format pictures to CorelDraw and began the design by selecting a soothing colour palette, shades of blue background, orange and white text and a touch of brown to convey a sense of serenity and hope.
Next, I added a beautiful image of a cross, symbolizing faith and redemption. At the center of the design, l prominently displayed the theme, "Goodness and Mercy" in bold, sky-blue font. The text was surrounded by a delicate floral pattern, adding a touch of elegance.
Below the theme, I carefully arranged the pictures of all the guest ministers including Pastor Praise Amadi who is the convener at the centre and the General Overseer at the bottom left of the design. I also included the essential event details: date, time, venue, and the church slogan.
The information was arranged in a clear, easy-to-read format, ensuring that viewers could quickly grasp the details. To add a personal touch, I incorporated a photo of Pastor Praise Amadi, the lead pastor and convener to be at the middle and a bit bigger than other ministers. This added a sense of authenticity and connection to the event.
As I finalized the design, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. The flyer was not only visually appealing, but it also effectively communicated the essence of the event. I submitted the design to Pastor Praise Amadi, and his response was overwhelming. "This is exactly what we needed" he exclaimed. "The design captures the heart of our theme, and we can't wait to share it with our Congregation." The Gathering of Worshippers will be a resounding success, knowing that the guests and attendees will be praising the event's inspiring atmosphere and uplifting message.
As for my design, it served its dual purpose perfectly - both as an online invitation and offline publicity material. I had done more than just design a flyer; I had helped create a visual representation of the assembly's message of hope and faith. And as I'm reflecting on the project, I know that this was what made my work as a designer truly fulfilling.
