FaithClipart.com Unveils Christian Design Resource Center

Leading Christian clipart provider expands its image collection and tools to empower church designers to create web images, presentations, and custom print designs.

Ashland, OR (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- FaithClipart.com, a leading Christian clipart website, unveiled a full-featured Design Resource Center for professional and non-professional Christian designers. FaithClipart.com (http://www.faithclipart.com) has provided the budget-conscious church community with the highest quality Christian clipart since 2004. The current site's improved functionality, a new Favorites feature, the addition of a new Design Resource Center, and an expanded archive of art, photos and templates give members the power to go beyond print media, create high-quality materials in house and embrace web and presentation options that have previously been the domain of high-budget Christian organizations and mega-churches.

"We noticed that our members are eager to communicate through websites and multimedia presentations," said FaithClipart.com President Jim Williams. "From experience, we know that Christians today are placing great value on excellence. They want their words and their work to be compelling, to communicate their faith using the most compelling and widespread vehicles. As a result, we have empowered members with affordable, easy-to-use tools to achieve their digital design goals, whether they are beginners or have advanced design skills."

Since the beta launch of FaithClipart.com's Design Center, members have created more than 8,000 original designs, covering every aspect of church life. About 40 percent of these designs are placed directly on websites as PDF documents, according to a FaithClipart.com survey. The site has enhanced its growing library of presentation-ready photo backgrounds, which now comprise more than 25 percent of site downloads.

Another FaithClipart.com survey indicated that more than 93 percent of members incorporate multimedia presentations in their worship service. FaithClipart.com's Design Resource Center allows presentation backgrounds to be edited to include Scripture, personalized church messages, sermons or Christian symbols.

According to Williams, members downloaded a record number of Christian clipart, photos and templates from the FaithClipart.com website in October for the creation of Fall Festival and Harvest Party flyers, plus inspirational worship slides, confirmation announcements and other promotional materials.

Williams indicated that more than 1,000 new churches sign up for the annual subscription to FaithClipart.com every month. "We're adding to our original clipart roots to become a comprehensive Christian message resource site," he explained. "There is a pent-up demand for a comprehensive art and design resource for small- to medium-sized churches. Our goal is to continually make the FaithClipart.com experience broader and easier so that we can grow with the needs of our Christian community and help them achieve excellence in their communications."
