In this segment of Shift Worship tips, Mariah and Dale delve into the captivating world of the Illumination collection. As they show and demonstrate the various media within this collection, it becomes clear that it offers a unique and visually stunning experience. Let’s follow along!

The Illumination collection captivates congregations with an enchanting blend of visuals that make you feel as though you are floating in space. (Dale is using one of the pixelated graphics of the collection as his background). The dark palette of this collection creates a perfect backdrop for white or light-colored text. This collection can be used anytime during the year! The convenience of using white text on dark backgrounds eliminates the need to search for the perfect spot to place your text.

One of the best aspects of this collection is the variety of media it offers. With almost two variations of each backdrop, you have the choice of using motion backgrounds or still backgrounds. The pixelated media, reminiscent of a video game, incorporates a unique element to your services. Also, each file comes in multiple formats, from HD to 4K, (triple wide as well) ensuring that you can pick the one that fits your screen size as well as your desired use. This flexibility extends to the downloading process, allowing you to choose between Dropbox or a direct download to your computer.

Here at Shift Worship, we are big on making your service design and planning as easy as possible. This is why some of our collections come with pre-existing text, while others are left blank. You can use these pre-designed slides or customize them to match your needs. The font used is also linked on the right side of the collection page. Use this link to download the matching font and then upload it into Quick Editor. 

While browsing through the Illumination collection, we suggest utilizing the three countdowns! You will see a 10-minute, 5-minute, and trivia countdown. Our team regularly updates trivia countdowns with creative questions and answers to engage your congregation as they prepare for the service. These trivia sessions are a fantastic way to keep your audience engaged and interested!

Mariah, a self-proclaimed social media enthusiast, emphasizes the value of the collection’s social media resources. The fonts and styles in these assets are especially interesting. However, it’s important to note that the existing text on these resources cannot be edited. If you want to make changes or add your church’s logo and/or handle, you’ll need to utilize Quick Editor. Mariah walks us through how easy it is to customize social graphics, even for those who may not consider themselves designers!

Dale and Mariah are big fans of Quick Editor and express that it is designed to be user-friendly. There’s no need to be a professional designer to make the most of it. Quick Editor is a powerful tool that anyone can utilize with ease. The Shift Worship team is always ready to provide support and assistance if you encounter any challenges!

Shift Worship offers two subscription plans, the Pro Plan at $249 per year and the Media Plan at $149 per year. The Pro Plan provides access to Dropbox, simplifying the download and sharing of files. The Media Plan is an affordable option for members who do not require Dropbox access. Both subscriptions include unlimited access to a wide range of resources as well as weekly media additions. 

The Illumination collection is an amazing collection that churches and worship services can benefit from using. Shift Worship Tips gives us a full understanding of the unique aspects of the collection and how to utilize them in services. It’s clear that Illumination is created to cater to both design enthusiasts and novices alike. So, whether you’re planning a calm church service or an engaging social media post, the Illumination collection from Shift Worship has you covered!
