A dangerous request

The junior high ministry is generally a challenge to design for. They often want juvenile without the wit, or just plain ol' nineties grunge. Ick. But I convinced the ministry leader to let me have a little fun with this Spring Retreat look. The weekend was called "Play with Fire" and my idea was to show these little monsters actually playing with fire. Fun huh? I thought so too. I particularly love the musical pair—his tambourine is hilarious!

I think that the "Play with Fire" banner is really successful as well—it adds a nice sense of comic book sophistication and makes the illustrations a little more mature. The following is the cover of the retreat registration brochure and then the interior. The crossing lines help create a little more depth to the fairly 2-dimensional design.
