Wonder Why? redesign project – drawing stages

(click on image to enlarge)

We're in the final stages of redesigning the evangelistic booklet, Do You Wonder Why – Answers to Tough Questions.  This 16-page booklet is distributed immediately following a natural disaster or tragic event.  With the booklet now being used globally, the illustrations and design will need revised to suit a wider range of cultures and regions of the world.  The dimensions will need adjusted for printing outside the US and the graphics need to allow room for translations that require more lines than English.

Pray that we can create a layout and visuals that will reflect what the children are going through, illustrated in a way that addresses wide cultural differences and can be applied to any tragedy.  Millions of copies have already been distributed over the past 10 years and we hope with the redesign more countries can make use of this evangelistic tool, printing them in advance, ready to distribute before a tragedy or natural disaster strikes.  We have partnered with a Christian printing ministry in Europe willing to print large quantities for free.
