kol shofar fall program guide

Fresh from the print-house!
One of my favorite parts of being a graphic designer is getting material back from the printer. In this case, it’s the new Fall Program Guide for Congregation Kol Shofar.
Lots of great new programs, with good imagery to work with, and I was able to use some of my own Judaica images [...]

earthy spirited graphics

Fresh from the bakers oven….

coming to the idra

logo on the move

Congregation Kol Shofar is getting ready for a temporary move to a variety of locations while they undergo construction. It was fun “reconstructing” their logo by adding to the original design by Matt Haligman, and creating this graphic mascot to escort all the move-related news updates.
This new logo is used in a new section of [...]

kol shofar community website & reblog
