Design Brief

To create a new website with a specialised landing page for their youth program. The youth program had an established social media presence, so that was to inform the color dicrection and look and feel of the main website. 

It was also requested that the website include external links to other ministries which the church is in partnership with around the world. 

Logo

Colors & Fonts 

The client requested that the color scheme be drawn from the their youth programs Instagram page which already has traction within the community. 

Photography & Visuals
