Graphic Design Brief

Design Brief for "Christus Victor: Hymns of the Gettys" Album Artwork

Project Overview: We are commissioning the album design for PraiseCharts' upcoming project titled "Christus Victor: Hymns of the Gettys". The album will feature hymns by the Gettys, focusing on the theological theme of Christus Victor, which highlights Christ's triumph over sin, death, and evil through His death and resurrection.

Objective: The album cover should visually represent the theme of Christus Victor, emphasizing Christ's victorious role as the conqueror of darkness and the restorer of creation. It should reflect both the power and hope found in Christ's resurrection, tying into the rich lyrical tradition of the Gettys' hymns.

Key Themes to Represent:

Victory over Darkness: Illustrate Christ's triumph over sin, death, and evil. This could be symbolized through powerful imagery like a rising light, a victorious cross, or broken chains.

Hope and Resurrection: The design should evoke a sense of hope, renewal, and life, representing Christ’s resurrection. Use vibrant, uplifting colors and visuals that suggest life overcoming death.

Cosmic Battle and Triumph: Convey the cosmic nature of Christ’s victory. This can be communicated through contrasting imagery (e.g., light vs. darkness, good vs. evil) that shows Christ’s authority and power.

Traditional but Modern: The Gettys are known for blending the traditional hymn style with contemporary worship, so the design should balance classic and modern aesthetics. A timeless yet fresh approach would resonate with their audience.

Design Elements to Consider:

Symbols of Victory: Crown, cross, or throne to signify Christ’s reign and triumph.

Light Overcoming Darkness: Bright, warm light breaking through darkness, symbolizing hope and resurrection.
Subtle Biblical Imagery: Ideas such as a lion (symbolizing strength), a sunrise, or angels could be used.

Typography: Clean, modern typography that complements the Gettys’ modern hymn style, while still reflecting the gravitas of the Christus Victor theme.

Tone/Feel:
Triumphant, powerful, and hopeful.
The imagery should inspire awe and reverence, capturing the majesty and authority of Christ as Victor.
It should feel uplifting and invite the listener into worship.

Target Audience: This album will primarily be marketed to worship leaders, churches, and congregations who follow the Gettys' music. The design should resonate with an audience that values both theological depth and artistic beauty.

Deliverables:

Full album cover design (front and back).
Digital assets for streaming platforms (thumbnail-sized cover art).
A cohesive color scheme and design elements that can be extended to promotional materials.
References for Inspiration:

Previous Gettys album covers
Classic hymn imagery, especially from modern hymnals
Symbolism of light, victory, and resurrection

We need the output to work as a graphic for a square version, as well as portrait (for the choral book). I will provide examples of covers that we have had before.

We look forward to your creative interpretation of the Christus Victor theme in a way that reflects both its deep theological significance and broad worship appeal.
