_{CABEC 2023 Conference “Something to Crow About” Logo Identity Design}

This years CABEC Conference is set to take place in Cambria, California at the beautiful Cambria Pines Lodge. This coastal city is host to a October-month-long celebration aptly titled, “Cambria Scarecrow Festival.” It’s the celebration of, (you guessed it), Scarecrows, their creative decoration, with contests, events and much, much more.

We were tasked with incorporating all these design elements together; starting with the iconic coastal scapes of the central coasts’ shore-cliff’s, pine-tree’s (plus area-appropriate foliage), and vast Pacific Ocean views that Cambria is known for. Being that the conference takes place during the height of Cambria’s Scarecrow Festival, in-conjunction with CABEC’s 2023 Conference tag-line, “Something to Crow About;” our early design iterations included scarecrows and crows. The ‘Scary Crow’ ended up being the winning and final design…

2023 El Pachuco Zoot Suits 45th Anniversary Calendar

El Pachuco Zoot Suits provided us with professional photography for us to incorporate and format into each month of the calendar year. We designed the actual days-of-the-year from scratch with major holidays observed; in-conjunction with the birthdays of notable contributors to the Pachuco movement like Edward James Olmos, Tin-Tan, and Phyllis Estrella (Founder of El Pachuco Zoot Suits), and many more…

For the images with horizontal orientation, we left those unencumbered for the beauty of the photography to be seen uninhibited. For the images with vertical orientation, we designed custom graphics that complimented not only the image itself; but also the holiday of note of each particular month.

Ruby Rose Yepez Professional Bio Page Design

Ruby Rose Yepez (aka, “my Wife“), ‘commissioned’ Republic Design Company (aka, “told me, Rafael Yepez, to get to work“), on the design of her Professional Bio Page.

_{Ruby Rose Yepez Pro Bio Page}

Ruby Rose Yepez is a seasoned building industry professional and will be speaking at the FCA Annual Meeting 2021. She was asked to submit a Pro Bio of herself and her background to exhibit her professional accomplishments, associations, and attributes. She created the following word document with accompanying head-shot.

_{Ruby Rose Yepez Original Bio Page}

First, we started with a new head-shot taken with an iPhone 11 in Portrait mode. We took this photo in our back yard with our beautiful bougainvillea’s as our backdrop. Using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, I gently highlighted the colors and details of the photo featured below:

_{Before/After Ruby Rose Yepez Headshot}

I used graphic icons to delineate and highlight her tag-line/motto, “Service • Community • Sustainablity,” her title at SCE, her employer’s website, and her Linkedin web-link-address: www.linkedin.com/in/ladyrubyrose. Then, I collected the logo’s of the entities she’s affiliated with that I could find on the internet in vector format. The logo’s I couldn’t find in vector format, I vectored myself. Vector graphics are optimal when laying out graphics like this inside Adobe Illustrator.

The following layout is an alternate design of Ruby Rose’s Professional Bio.

As of this posting, I am happy to convey that she approves of said design(‘s) contained here-in and we are still ‘happily married.’

_{CABEC Mentorship Logo}

“Mentorship,” (as defined by Google), is, “the guidance provided by a mentor, especially an experienced person in a company or educational institution. A period of time during which a person receives guidance from a mentor.” So the idea behind this concept is a simple ‘hand-shake,’ between ‘mentor,’ and ‘mentee.’ It’s supposed-to evoke the feeling of the beginning of a relation/mentor-ship. A sort-of, “helping-hand,” if-you-will…

Hope Of All Hearts Marriage Family Counseling Center Logo

Hope Of All Hearts Marriage Family Counseling Center Original Sketch

The original sketch has several key elements that were necessary to incorporate into the logo. The outline/silhouette of the horse was one key element as Hope Of All Hearts Marriage Family Counseling Center incorporates equine assisted psychotherapy. There is also a custom monogram with the letters “A.R.” that represent Araceli Ramirez’s initials. Last subtle detail are the 7 bars protruding from the back of the neck of the horses silhouette which is representative of immediate family members.

A series of logo design variations were explored and through the natural course of the design process; new possibilities were discovered and incorporated into the final design.

Whoskie’s Barbershop Logo Design

In light of the Washington Nationals World Series Championship victory last night; I thought I’d share this recent logo design I re-imagined for my barber Ruben Soriano (ig: @barber_gang3) of Whoskie’s Barbershop in South El Monte, CA.

whoskies_barbershop_w_logo

The premise was to employ the iconic “W” of the center of the Washington Nationals logo and mold fonts to work with and around the “W,” as-well-as use the same color scheme as it’s predecessor.

whoskies_barbershop_customized_logo_lettering

The “W” is also used as a common counter-culture reference to “West Side,” or “West Coast,” most famously popularized by Westside Connection and other Hip-Hop artist of the time. This, in conjunction with the name of “Whoskies Barbershop,” makes for an amalgamation of similar tastes and shared design livery.
