Praise

I've been trying my hand at graphic design lately and found that I have a knack for it. (I think) So after showing some of my work off my friend Sharron asked if I could do her a favor. She and a few other people from our worship team are putting together books with all of the lead sheets used for the worship services at OBCC. Knowing that I'm dabbling in graphics she asked me to design a cover for the binder. I love jobs like this because I learn so much about Photoshop every time I do one of these. It seems to be great way to develop my skills. she gave me a brief description of her vision and told me the verse that they wanted on the cover. Psalm 66:8 "Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard!"

I found the graphic of the hands on line, but I took a picture of some sheet music for the top of the page. The music is Prelude in C Major from the Well Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach, taken with my Canon SD1100 point and shoot. The idea here is that our praise is rising to heaven, or up to God.

After a little debate about the color, we eventually agreed on the original shown here. I'll upload the alternate color scheme too.
