wordle inspired set design
a few weeks ago i blogged about wordle.net. i was certain i could find some great way to put that little piece of fun to good use. our next sermon series was perfect…more. i couldn’t actually use wordle to set it up since it doesn’t work so well with just one word. but it was really easy to execute. we ordered 4 custum gobos. i only got 2 of them installed for the first week. i just installed the other 2.
just when i start to think that the time i spend reading blogs is a waste… my time is redeemed back to me on projects like this. we were really down to the wire on artwork for this series. i got it knocked out in record time. what inspires you when you are under the gun?
free the creative chaos…

Awesome idea. I just used my first wordle in worship on Wednesday. Sometimes being under the gun makes it work. Especially if you don’t have a team of people taking on the ideation that your service may need.
I do alot of what Dorothy does…look for great ideas to shape for our context. I’m in a more traditional church, so the creative ideas are perhaps smaller scale than changing set and stage.

That is really awesome! Why I didn’t connect the “more” graphic with Wordle I don’t know. Somehow I missed it. And you’re right, it does fit very well. More mores. You and your gifts constantly amaze me!…seriously.
See ya Sunday!:)

Cool–I love wordle.
We’re taking the pastor’s sermons and doing a wordle each week on his teaching series in Proverbs. We’re printing them to 23.5×42 inch paper on our large scale printer and adhering them to thin insulation board–we’ll put them all up here a few weeks as we end the series and let people walk through a gallery of the words.
