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.
We recreated a variety of original graphic design elements like thee El Pachuco Zoot Suits store-front using Adobe Illustrator. We then photoshopped a picture of owners Phyllis & Ray Estrella on the back cover with an excerpt (and social media links) of El Pachuco Zoot Suits.

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.’

Hope Of All Hearts Marriage Family Counseling Center Logo
Araceli Ramirez was ‘ahead-of-the-game‘ by not only providing a detailed design brief of her vision for the Hope Of All Hearts Marriage Family Counseling Center Logo, but she also provided a sketch of what she had in-mind:
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.
