AWARD RECOGNITIONS
Building on CJM's Brand Foundation
A Great Idea's multi-year brand partnership with Creation Justice Ministries gave the 2026 annual resource a strong editorial foundation to build from. AGI elevated the existing visual identity into an editorially sophisticated publication with its own distinct presence—without abandoning the brand equity the ministry had already built. This ability to deepen and extend client brands over time reflects a core strength of the agency: long-term creative relationships that grow more powerful and impactful with every project.
Spiritual Formation and Contemplative Practice
A Great Idea designed a rich spiritual formation track that extended the resource well beyond a single Sunday service. We created and laid out contemplative practice sections—"Cracking Open," "Teacher Tree," and "Lectio Terra"—guiding readers through scripture, reflection, and embodied experience in nature. Our design made these practices immediately accessible for congregational leaders without specialized training, demonstrating AGI's skill in creating content that is both theologically rich and practically usable for communities of any size.
Worship Resources for Congregational Leaders
A Great Idea designed the Canopy of Creation to function as a complete, ready-to-use worship toolkit. We structured and laid out sermon starters from Ezekiel 47 and Acts 10, a full suite of congregational prayers—a Call to Worship, a Prayer of Gratitude, a Confession, and a Lament—and curated hymn selections including "Like a Tree" and "O Cross of Christ Immortal Tree." Every element was formatted for immediate use in the pew, requiring no additional preparation from worship leaders.
Why is brand identity important?
A strong brand identity makes you stand out from others, makes it easy for people to recognize you, and builds trust. It shows what you stand for, what you’re trying to do, and how you’re going about that in a way that connects with your community.
What type of awareness campaigns do you handle?
We work on a wide variety of awareness campaigns! We most often work with nonprofit, community, education, and healthcare organizations. For example, we have developed campaigns for our clients on topics like social justice awareness, public health awareness, advocacy, community resource awareness, and stigma reduction.
What are the key components of a brand identity?
- Logo: The visual representation of your brand
- Color Palette: The specific colors used to represent your brand
- Typography: The fonts and styles used in your brand communications
- Imagery & Graphics: The style of images and graphics that complement your brand
- Brand Voice and Messaging: The language and tone used in your communications
- Brand Guidelines: The document that codifies and ensures consistency across all brand collateral
Do I need to provide the copy and images for my brochure?
While many clients provide their own text and high-resolution photos, A Great Idea offers full-service solutions. We can assist with professional copywriting, stock image curation, or custom photography to ensure your brochure is cohesive and persuasive. For the best print results, we recommend using images with at least 300 DPI (dots per inch).
What is the difference between digital and print-ready brochure design?
A print-ready brochure is designed using the CMYK color model with specific "bleeds" and margins to ensure it looks perfect when physically printed. A digital brochure (or e-brochure) is optimized for the RGB color space, features interactive elements like clickable links, and is compressed for fast loading in emails or on your website. We can provide your final files in both formats to maximize your reach.
