Christian college needs new, fresh design for new program.

Elim Bible Institute & College

We are a Bible College in New York State (U.S). We offer a unique college experience for Christian young adults. Students will work on their Bible degree in an intensely focused spiritual environment where they will build a strong spiritual foundation, preparing them to fulfill their God-given calling in life.

For now, I am looking for a 7.5X5 promotion (front & back, full bleed) for one of our college programs. This promotion will be used at our display table and handed to hundreds of young adults at an upcoming Christian conference.

We are renaming a program we have had for a very long time and re-advertising it as a new & improved program (which it is) with a renewed focus. Here is the website for the program currently called "Year in the Son". It is a 1 year certificate program. http://www.elim.edu/programs/year-in-the-son/

For your reference, we are also rebuilding our website, which we hope to launch in a couple of months. It may be found at http://new.elim.edu. We have not included information about 'Launch' on the new site yet.

The new name of the program will be "Launch" and the subtitle is, "a one-year foundation building experience." The reason we chose 'Launch' is that it is more of an active word that communicates movement. The idea is that students who attend the program will be 'launched' into the world with the spiritual preparation to be a success wherever they go. We don't just want to appeal to Christians who want to go into full time ministry. We want to appeal to all young Christians.

This program is for every young Christ-follower. It will build a solid spiritual foundation in their life, preparing them to live for God with confidence wherever they go and whatever they do.

We are looking for a minimalist design - lots of whitespace and little text, at least on the front of the document. The front should attract viewers while the back gives some context and details about the value of the program. We also prefer something that includes photographs over cartoonish style.

We are open to utilizing traditional 'launch' imagery like rockets, but are not sure if that will stick with us or not. Feel free to use creative license to propose other ideas.

Attached is our primary logo. It does not have to be prominent, but should probably be visible in part as a watermark, if possible.

The promo should point readers to our website at elim.edu.

This is our first time with 99designs. Our former graphic designer has been doing designs for us for more than 20 years. We feel the need to find designers who are younger and will give us more culturally relevant designs. Our goal is to identify one or two designers with whom we can partner for future projects. We traditionally need to design between 15-30 designs or updates to designs every year.
