DWC Work: Pure Dental Spa is Open!

I am slowly getting back on track still, and my posts are backed up with follow-up projects that I need to share with you all. So wedding, photography and inspirational posts are going to be on hold for a bit as I share some good stuff. This particular post is an expansion from an older post on an identity & brand system that I created for Pure Dental Spa. (To read older post, click here.) I love graphic design, but I also love decorating interiors from the finishes to the furniture to the colors on the wall, and of course, the accessories, too! I had a good time working with my client, Dr. Rajul Patel, DDS, in developing the look of her new dental office.

I tried to document the dramatic progression of her office. You can see the raw concrete stage, the framing, 1st coats of paint, and the end product totally furnished with equipment, seating, art and plants. What a project and what an accomplishment. The Pure Dental Spa office is officially open, and there are great new incentives for new clients. One in particular is a $199 Zoom teeth whitening in office (a $600 retail value), and 25% off all procedures. Remember, these are limited time offers. See contact info below if you are interested.

Design w/Chon: Hasana

Just right before I went on vacation to Aruba, my schedule was swamped with new work for a new client – The Apareció Foundation. The foundation's mission is to provide mentoring, academic support, and scholarship programs for high-potential, low-income women in Chicago Public High Schools. It's all about empowering young women of today to become leaders and impact changes in their lives and future. I think it's a great cause, and I am very honored to work on a new project that The Apareció Foundation has developed, Hasana Inc.

Hasana represents a luxury, lifestyle brand with great accessories and handbag designs for the fun, classic and feminine girl of today. The Hasana Collection has clean, happy and bright colors, inspired by the Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao.

And guess what is sooo wonderful about the Hasana line?... You don't have to feel guilty about splurging on great, designer jewelry, because 100% of the proceeds of the sales from the Hasana collection directly benefits The Apareció Foundation (a nonprofit organization that raises funds towards educational grants and program for low-income, high-potential Chicago Public High School female students). Every penny. Every dollar. Benefiting education.

There were several projects that I got to oversee, design and guide the overall art direction to Hasana's marketing materials are seen below. A 16-page Look Book highlighting nine different collections of jewelry, the website which is live, but pages are still in development, three Event Posters for the launch party, and 9 different informational cards defining the inspiration and designer for each collection of Hasana. I wish I could take credit for the photography, too, but these stunning images were taken by Amaris Granado.

So don't be shy everyone, if you love what you see in the Hasana Collection, visit HasanaCollection.com. Hasana is perfect for any occasion and can be enjoyed all season long! The website and purchasing of products is still in development, but you can contact them at inquiries@hasanacollection.com or just email me, and I can certainly get you in touch with the right people. ;)

Featured Photography: Design w/Chon

I am back and trying to get back on track again to my blog feeds. It's Friday! and usually I feature a new photographer, but today I have decided to change it up and feature myself. I want to share with you all some of my latest portrait studies since I got my new camera – the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1, a micro four-thirds format camera. All these portraits were shot on the 20mm f/1.7 lens (equivalent to 40mm on a 35mm film camera). I just love this lens, because it allows me to shoot stunning close-up subjects with a beautiful, soft focus background.

There is something about a child and their big, wide eyes as they look out into the vast world that make these shots memorable and so innocent. Someday, I soon hope to take this hobby into a more professional side job as part of Design with Chon. :)

Aruba, here we come!

Hi and bye everyone! It's been a long, hectic, and at times overwhelming past 3 weeks – basically work overload. Hence, my lack in blog posts. :(

However, I loved every moment of work these past weeks, but I seriously need a mental and physical break. I am off to Aruba with my husband for a week. I will update you all with my new and past projects. I have some good stuff to share with you all and ways that you can give back to the community while splurging on yourself. Have a good week everyone, I will. ;)
