Media Requests

This page is designed to help start the conversation of your idea for any type of design request for your ministry or department at the Sycamore Church. Please make sure you have read through the current request terms and have all your approvals and information ready. Once youve read through the terms you will be prompted to move on to the form at the bottom of the page. Please reach out to Bailey Jordan with any questions!

Approvals

All events have to be previously approved by Pastor Eric and/or the requestors ministry leader. Without approval creation of graphics will not start and advertisement or promotion to the intended audience can’t happen

Time

Our team ideally needs a weeks notice to design and execute church graphics and promotional material.

The latest we will receive requests is a 48hr notice with a simpler design delivered.

Day-of Sunday Morning requests will not be completed.

Form

Requests will not be taken in person, the online form must be filled out with all required information.

Official requests cannot be made to Pastor Eric, Kamala or any ministry leader with promise of making it to the design team. It is the requestor’s responsibility to fill out the online form to make an official request for design material.

Information

Upon requesting an event all of the below information needs to be decided on and provided:

  • Name of Event

  • Date of Event

  • Time of Event

  • Location

  • Audience (who is the event for)

  • Cost (if applicable)

  • Childcare availability

Bonus points for any other promotional details you may have together already (do attendees need to bring anything, dress code, name of speaker, etc)

Revisions

Revisions are definitely welcome and allowed but are not infinite. Aesthetic changes won’t be made 48hr before due date of material. Event details can be changed as late as needed. We understand that life happens, events times and dates change and details need to be edited and accurate. 

Preferences

The request form will have the option to list out any preferences and vision requestors have for the design. This space can be used to let us know if you have any requests for the direction of the design. This can include anything: color, specific photos/imagery, fonts, examples you’ve seen etc. We will gladly use and work with any ideas that you have! We want to bring your vision to life and want you to be happy with the end result. If no preferences  are made the designer will take this as having full creative freedom 

Its easier to include your ideas from the beginning. If vision and preferences are shared after a design has been created and presented, this usually results in a complete redesign and redirection. This could potentially effect the delivery date of your final graphic

Brand Integrity

Upon the failure to make a request for media, ministries are not allowed to skip the design team and make their own material in a time crunch. This jeopardizes the integrity of the church brand.
