Creative Boards

Creative boards changed my life.

We made our own--six of them actually for about $200.

Thanks Jayne, Dave and Allie for sewing 18 yards of fabric into River Park Community Church's creative boards.

We are a church plant that will be launching services in September 2008 . . . that takes a lot of creativity.

Our first project is to design what each of our environments is going to look like (worship experience, guest services, signs on the street, children's check in, kidstuf, bathrooms, resource tables etc . . . )

So yesterday I took 90 pictures of Rio Vista Middle School--our current facility.

I arranged the pictures of the school around the site map.  Our goal is to get a feel for the school--the layout of the facility, flow from street, to parking entrance, to gate to building, to children's ministry rooms.

I also took pictures of the color and textures used in the school facility.

These creative boards will be on display at tonight's launch team meeting.

When we have our creative meeting we will be cutting pictures out of magazines that represent what we want each area to look like.  We will make a collage of pictures around the photographs I took.

These collages will become the inspiration for what we will purchase to create our environments.

That's just one way of using a creative board.  Check out my friend Carlos at Buckhead Church for what they do with creative boards by clicking here.
