a bi-national family album
Each issue of the quarterly magazine of the BIC Churches of North America offered glimpses of various members at work within the organization's larger church family.

Yes!, the BIC's other magazine, sought to offer glimpses into Core Values and ongoing ministries of the Brethren in Christ Church through a friendly, full-color pictorial of the people involved with various current stories and events.
Intended for delivery to all who attended any Brethren in Christ church in North America, YES! needed to be brief and friendly to the many non-traditional readers introduced to it in its broader distribution. On the other hand, it still needed to offer new and compelling glimpses at church operations for those already invested in getting information from other church magazines like Visitor, the organization's central, more in-depth subscription-based magazine.
In addition to the more innovative layouts required by this colorful, picture-oriented piece, it also offered me good exercise in a more public relations-oriented style of copywriting for a large multi-national audience. I served as editor of the magazine for four years, and its designer for the last three of those.
