“This is the series graphic for our summer series - a 4 week look at sacred cows the church is often afraid to discuss - divorce, alcohol, sexual orientation, people dying who’ve never heard the gospel, etc. You know, all the good stuff. Should be fun. And since it’s gonna be pretty heavy content, we wanted to lighten the mood with the art, while still keeping it dark and a little foreboding. Inspired by art from Dia de Los Muertos and the Jack Daniels logo (how fitting…)”

For a community so stoked on loving their zip code, it’s rad to see the urban + local photography throughout their website.
Especially rad is the large image above the fold on their homepage: nothing says “this is where we live” more than an prominently placed photo of said neighbourhood

After taking a break from things, Vaux returned in 2008 with this simple 3 column Wordpress powered blog. From the state of things today though, it seems the site went back on break last September…
From their About page:
The core members of Vaux are still very much in touch. Distributed, but networked. Dormant, maybe; dead, certainly not.
There are rumours of projects and counter-rumours of jobs. There are babies to birth and children to spend time with.
Some time, some where, with some people, at some time, the same Spirit will doubtless breath life into some new thing. We’ll let you know when we perceive it. Until then, enjoy the site, the archives, the memories.

Site: Salvation Army (Canada) on Virb

Created as part of Virb’s Do Good + Look Good series, this treatment of the (Canadian) Salvation Army is spot on: straightforward, uncluttered, interactive, and dang good looking.
All the most important pieces (Donate, Emergency Relief, and Thrift Store links) are placed above the fold and just below a series of powerful (ie. not cliché) images that rotate everytime you revisit the site.
Kudos to Sally Ann for allowing the treatment, and good on Simmy for keeping it so simple.

Pixelight’s work on College Park Church’s website really does a great job of organizing a whole lot of information in a pretty clear and concise manner with a strong grid layout and use of a great muted colour palette to keep all the information calm.
