Anxiety

[xinie]

I've been tapped to do a cover for the order of service for the 12/7 service at our church, because the regular artist is on vacation. The sermon's theme? "Anxiety." How appropriate for me! I was actually avoiding that theme, and going for either something generic-winter or relevant to the new member welcoming. Now I am thinking maybe I should just

Or maybe I'll just write fnord on the cover in a big font. Which would be strangely appropriate in one way, for December 7...

For an anxiety-themed sermon, you should write

DON'T PANIC

in large friendly letters on the front. And then start a betting pool about how many people actually understand it.

I think most of them would get it- during an astronomy talk, the intro line was, "There's a moon in the sky. It's called the moon."- and my FSM are always a big hit. I think I'll tuck it in. I looked into putting the green-guy onto the collage, but I don't think he's public domain.

OMG that's awesome, not sure why I didn't think of that ;)

The green guy is easy enough to draw (or construct out of word/ppt shapes) if you want to take a stab at making your own.

I think a 'to do' list theme would work well with all the parties and holidays coming up in this season. Overlapping several lists on the cover would definitely convey anxiety.

Or you could do a picture of an overbooked schedule - like a google calendar or outlook format with 2-3 things booked at the same time.

Kind of the same concept as the to-do list but more visual...

I mentioned the Google calender to Ben... now that you've seconded, I think that's the way I'll go. Maybe, like sla says, with a couple of overlapping lists, too.

Can you just use this as the cover?

[xinie]

OOOO! It's public domain! And I think I've seen one with a Santa hat on it, somewhere... a-googling I will go, once the boys are a-bed.
