Who said churches are boring?
Illustration and book design for St J’s Group of churches
/ Services
Creative concepts, illustration, book design
Rob Doble Design partnered with The St Js Group, a network of churches based near Bath, to design and produce a beautifully crafted sermon series book titled Transforming Wisdom. Each year, the group develops a creatively presented teaching series for its congregation, and this edition focused on 44 life lessons designed to challenge and deepen spiritual growth.
For this project, I delivered:
Editorial book design and layout
Custom illustration integration
Typography and visual identity development
Print-ready artwork and production support
The book combined original illustrations created by Rob Doble Design alongside artwork contributed by talented members of the church community. The visual style was intentionally diverse — ranging from textured ripped-paper compositions to abstract and conceptual illustrations — all carefully crafted to communicate each lesson’s core message with clarity and impact.
