3.5"x 5.75" Full-color cover, 6-panel Gospel tract designed, laid out, and printed for the Forsyth family.

This was a complete overhaul of the same tract printed some years ago. The large photo was the only original piece used in both. The family had grown up in the years between printing and the author wanted to update it. The text was created in FreeHand, spaced so different filters could be used to the two different styles, the overlapped. EyeCandy's embossing was used for the "Triumph" section set in Balmoral. Hand-done airbrushing was dusted over areas to make it less mechanically embossed. The "Tragedy" section was set in Impact, a secondary color stroke was added, and the dodge/burn tool used to muddy the color a bit at the bottom. The background photo came from clip art. There wasn't enough image, so the handy-dandy rubber stamp tool was used to add more data. Once done, duplicate layers were merged and the lens flare was added over the text and mountains. A duplicate, grayscale version of just the mountains was used as in the interior of the tract as a background element, highly lightened and ghosted.
