Church bulletin design goals

When considering the design (or more likely redesign) of a church worship bulletin, we need to keep several goals in mind. These goals are the basis for specific objectives that will make a worship bulletin more “welcoming” to members and visitors alike.
  • Design Goal 1: Make items easily to find fast
  • Design Goal 2. Make text an easy read
  • Design Goal 3. Make it easy for people to speak in unison during unison readings
  • Design Goal 4. Make the electronic version "modern", not "old style"
  • Design Goal 5. Eliminate distracting elements
Use established principles and techniques to accomplish the objectives. Most publishing industry principles and methods apply directly (or with slight adjustment) to church publications.

In the coming weeks, we'll address each of the above goals.
