The whole idea of my maximum wellness health book is to encourage families to think about their spine and understand the importance of good health. I want to encourage them to eat healthy to live a productive life style. I want them to obtain their maximum health wellness in life.

While brainstorming for ideas for my ad I thought of showing people three different activities maximum wellness will help people accomplish. The activities might seem easy to most people but when their backs in pain, their unable to accomplish different things in life. So I'm thinking of using either typography or images to demonstrate the concept.

my maximum wellness mailer

Ideas....for my mailer

So I'm thinking about creating a mailer for Maximum Wellness that will inform patients of their monthly chiropractic visits as well as extended information about chiropractics.
I want patients to keep the mailer so I want to incorporate a perferated calendar.
I thought about making the mailer into a shape of a butterfly, so when patients open it up they'll be suprised to see a butterfly. I also thought of making the mailer a pamphlet but I dont want to waste acess paper. Right now im contemplating the shape of my mailer. I want it to be clever and unique but still functional in the mail.

creative brief for maximum wellness

Creative Brief:
My inspiration for the Maximum Wellness design came from the feeling that one gets after visiting a chiropractor. Chiropractic’s is natural ways to re- align the spine and release energy to the rest of the body. To portray this release of energy, I used green and to portray the serenity one feels, I used blue. The butterfly represents liberation, and reincarnation. After being adjusted by the chiropractor, one feels renewed and pain free. The body operates with more energy and is increasingly flexible. While studying more about butterflies, I realized their source of food is plants. Plants feed butterflies, just like chiropractics soothes our body. I incorporated the plant motif through utilizing the antennas from the butterfly. I wanted to show the spread of energy that’s released through the body by showing the plant continuing on off the page. I used the one envelope which includes the letterhead to represent the eco friendliness of chiropractics. They don’t use medicine or drugs, but rely on their hands and aligning tools which are harmless to the environment but nurturing to the patient. Maximum Wellness is a beneficial way to take care of one’s body. My goal for my design was to incorporate the relaxation, energy, soothing feel that’s witnessed when one visit’s Maximum Wellness.

new logo

My inspiration for this logo is butterflies and their liberal nature. I want to portray the feeling after visiting the chiropractor. One feels free and pain free.

logo

Okay, so I decided to take my logo in a different direction. I received feed back that the other logo resembled pills, so I plan to use a butterfly to show the liberation one obtains after visiting the chiropractor. Chiropractors release the energy back into people's body, so a butterfly resembles the flexibility one experiences.

Maximum Wellness Logo Process

Creative Process: I'm thinking of an image to incorporate into the logo. The competitors logo's mostly contained Health Symbols, spines, and people. The chiropractor mainly foccuses on famlies and pregnant women. I want to incorporate my buzz words as well as a family friendly logo thats appropriate for children and adults. So I decided to incorporate fingers into my design to spell out the logo and then I'm playing with the letter M and W to portray my buzz words.

History: Chiropractic creates TONE so all cells vibrate at a proper frequency which eliminates pain in the spine or in a person's neck.

- Vetebral subluxation: creates an interferance of information translated. (bones are out of place) The chiropractor fixes this problem.

- Stress causes subluxations: physical, chemical, and emotional

- Lines of communication through the spine after the adjustment and energy is releases through out the body.

- The nervous system is the center of your thoughts and memory.

Some images I took to inspire a possible design
