We are visual beings, drawn to things of beauty, as beauty expresses all that is beyond words.
Why your parish needs Catholic Creatives
65% of people are visual learners. That is a fact that behavioral scientists, and academics have long known to be true. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to walk into a university lecture hall, only to witness a professor giving a talk without the use of visual aids. Certainly, words can tell a story - but art and design are what draws us in, captivates us, and encourages us to explore our surroundings in order to learn more.
"From the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator," "for the author of beauty created them." - (CCC 2500, Wis 13:3, 5.)
We are faithful Catholics, above all else - our creativity flows from our faith, and desire to express the truth which reveals He Who created us.
With every design we create, and photo we take, our calling is to draw others, through beauty, to the truth of our Catholic Faith.
We are visual story tellers, who help you share The Good News
Telling someone about your parish is great - Showing someone your parish is even better!
Researchers at MIT found that humans are able to see, and process, the meaning of an image in 13 milliseconds. Another study found that online content with carefully crafted images retain 94% more viewers than content with little, or no visual content - or poorly designed images. Not only do our designs, and photos, engage, welcome, and draw people in - they also help your parish website and social media accounts receive more viewers...viewers who will not just read your message, but who will be personally drawn to understand, and appreciate, your message.
Beauty reveals truth, so why use stock photos for your parish communications?
Take a look around your parish - it's beautiful, isn't it? Each and every thing is there for a purpose - to give glory to God. Your parishioner love their spiritual home, and it fills them with joy to share it with others.
Okay, your parish website has some pictures - many of them stock photos, and pre-made graphic designs - they probably look nice, but there's a problem.. If we find truth in beauty, why do so many parish social media accounts, and websites, use stock photos of parishes other than their very own?
Perhaps it's just that grabbing a stock photo is easy. Maybe so, but properly licensed stock photos are expensive, and they can never express the love that your parishioners have for their own church - a love that your parishioners want to share with the world. Our Catholic professional photographers come to your parish, to capture it's warmth and beauty - so that through your online presence, or through direct mailing, you are certain to be sharing a window into the parish you love.
That's not our beautiful parish! That's a stock photo. :-(
Why your parish needs Fiat Lux Catholic Creatives
We create authentically Catholic graphic designs and stunning photographs that show the world the beauty and truth that is to be found at your parish. We actually come to your parish to meet you, your staff, and your parishioners - so we can learn about your parish, and then use that knowledge to create custom graphic designs, and actual photos of your parish, that will engage viewers in a way that draws them in, and welcomes them.
Our annual reports, and parish event postcards, are uniquely designed for your parish - to inform parishioners, and encourage their active participation in all aspects of parish life. We even take care of the direct mailing - whether your need is to inform current parishioners, or reach out to all people in your community.
We save you, and your parish staff, valuable time and frustration. Creating meaningful, and uniquely Catholic visual designs takes a lot of time and effort - especially if that is not your vocation. We are committed to providing your parish with visual content - for use online and in print - that will greatly enhance the way in which you share The Good News.
Catholic creative work is all we do. It is our calling, it brings us joy - it is our way sharing the story of our Salvation, to all who see our creations. Contact us today, and let us share with you our talent for shining the light on your parish.
Peace,
