How to Choose the Right Image

I love designing for Christian songs and hymns. Well, I love it now – in the beginning it was tough. How do you visually communicate hope or transformation or second chances or hitting rock bottom?

I design best when I can clear my mind, sit and listen to a new song – letting it flow over me. But those opportunities are rare in our busy world. So I create the slides weekly and tuck that song in the back of my mind. I often listen to it in a car or while working on another project – often an image will rise – and the next time we sing that song the visuals are spot on.

Below are some images that work marvelously for some of these tough concepts to visualize.  One of my favorites is the energized cross - amazing.
