Really like this hand drawn quite feminine poster.  I love that every little bit is different and the order seems unthoughtful but yet you do read it with a hierarchy because of the different type faces.  The simple images work perfectly well together. I think this is a lovely example of type as image at its best.

What doesn't work




Gosh, I think it is obviously what these are about simply from the cheesy cliche images and frustratingly old fashioned attempt at making something modern.  I think there are just so many cliche's surrounded christianity and the way art is produced is just that, it is safe and super friendly - so much so that it becomes annoying.  It doesn't really make you think, except for the obvious and usually the colours are not particularly considered.  I think there must be a much better way of exploring a positive message in a way which is suitable for now.

FOOD




These are brilliant.  I think the simple background colour plus just the bright colours really set these pieces off with imagination.  They must of taken time to think up to get them spot on but yet they are so simple and were probably actually made in a couple of minutes.  It just shows the importance of the concept sometimes above the crafting.  Love it.
