A flyer to help us attract micro-enterprisers with promise

Sunshine Gospel Ministries

Sunshine Gospel Ministries is an organization doing work in inner city Chicago. It exists to seek renewal in the city through ministries of discipleship, mercy, and justice. We do this through building relationships, teaching and mentoring, developing life skills, care and advocacy in our community.

Our three main areas of service are (1) Youth Outreach, (2) Leadership Development and (3) Entrepreneurship

SEBLA Flyer
Sunshine Gospel Ministries offers a program geared towards local entrepreneurs, known as Sunshine Enterprises Business Leadership Academy (SEBLA). The Academy is an 8 week course designed to get aspiring entrepreneurs up and running quickly with their business.

It covers basic business fundamentals, such as business planning, finance and accounting, and marketing, as well as incorporates the use of business model canvassing --- identifying key partners and key supplier/distributor relationships, value proposition, etc.

SEBLA needs an updated flyer available for printing and distributing to key areas across the communities we serve. Our primary clientele are minorities--African Americans between the ages of 21-50 with low-to-moderate household incomes.

Who we look for:
We look for aspiring and newly-established entrepreneurs (those in startup mode) with potential for high-impact. Through starting and growing businesses in low-income communities, we help creates jobs, mitigate acts of violence, and increase responsible social and civic engagement.

Color Palette
We can provide hex codes or RGD codes, as well as .ase files for color swatches in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Our essential color palette is in keeping with the tone and color of "sunshine" (sun, clouds, bright orange, yellow, and blue).

Fonts/Typography
We can provide a few font files that we've used for some logos, though there are some we no longer have. Our current website relies heavily on sans serif type fonts in both copy and headers, side navigation, etc. For print materials, we're open to different font styles.

Graphics
As an inner-city urban ministry, graphics that incorporate urban, metro, city themes are helpful (especially ones that integrate Chicago landmarks and sites). Also, use of graphics that exhibit young urban professionals in a business environment.

Copy/Text
Writing copy for the brochure is helpful, though not necessary.

It may be of help to understand our vision. However it's not necessary to incorporate aspects of faith or religion for the purposes of the flyer design.

This is just intended to add context into who we are.

Theology/Faith
A consistent concept we adopt in our thought process is the biblical notion of Shalom. It is a vision that goes beyond the notion of merely improving or remedying existing societal problems, yet rather calls us to contemplate the world as it ought to be. It is a vision of full, holistic renewal--social, physical, mental, and spiritual. Our work is meant to exemplify the world as it should be, whether it is instilling faith in our children and young people, challenging stereotypes or existing conceptions of poverty, or ascribing dignity and worth through economic revitalization. We seek the renewal of the city (and the world).
