LOS ANGELES, CA—May 17, 2011 –
A Natural Beauty MakeOver fundraising event for Green Lifestyle TV, offering chemically safe, green beauty makeovers and educational presentations
Every day the average woman, man and child is exposed to potentially damaging chemicals in skincare, hair, dental and beauty products, including parabens, phthalates, and toluene. By switching to eco-conscious, natural beauty and hygiene alternatives, however, it is possible to look gorgeous and be healthy without poisoning ourselves and the planet all at the same time.
On June 14, 2011, nonprofit Green Lifestyle TV will team up with a very eco-conscious salon: in Silverlake ( Natural Mind Beauty,) to offer “A Day of Green Beauty” fundraiser. All proceeds from the event will benefit future Green Lifestyle TV’s educational programming.
· For a $150 suggested donation, participants will receive a complete makeover using natural and organic beauty products (style and blow out, makeup application lesson, organic facial, and a hand reflexology session etc). Each makeover also includes a choice of educational programmes: a diet makeover for natural beauty or an exercise consultation with a certified movement analyst.
· Make Up applications and lessons are with our Celebrity Green Make Up Artist Paige Padgett (presently the make up artist for Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser TV Show).
· Gen Anderson, host of the TV Show The Guiltless Gourmet will be giving a talk on Eating For Beauty.
· Foot baths, massage and hand reflexology by Genuine HoBo Bodi-Sense International, LLc
“Our makeover participants will leave feeling healthy and glamorous while sustaining their own health as well as that of the planet,” said Dorit, green living expert and founder of Green Lifestyle (web) TV.

ABOUT GREEN LIFESTYLE TV (GLTV)
Green Lifestyle TV will launch in summer 2011 as a web TV channel, providing educational & entertaining programming that emphasizes daily living from a green perspective.
Green Lifestyle TV is a production of the Green Lifestyle Film Festival, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. For more information, visit www.greenlifestyles.org.
After our event on Tuesday, June 14, the design team will begin our work and main focus on the website design. Right now, the main focus is the organization of information which is difficult to navigate at the moment. Dorit wants a clean design but there is so much information that they want included on the site we will need to seriously organize it all. Lindsay and I were discussing ideas at our meeting and we seemed to have similar tastes in style and design. Right now, we both threw around ideas of using a yellow/green background color and having white vines growing out in the background while remaining subtle and light. Also, we both decided to incorporate burnt orange into the site information.
Green Printing
Something else that excites me about the organization, is our use of a completely green printing company. The company is called Design Printing and is located in Los Angeles. They use all green and recycled products which is perfect for GL and the message they are trying to develop. I am looking forward to taking a tour of the shop and seeing their procuess and materials they use. Since I work in a print shop in Milwaukee, it will be interesting to see how they vary from other print shops.
Another design that I am starting some sketches and word maps for ideas, is the Breath of Life Awards and Boat Trip Posters for Breathe L.A. As I had stated above, Breathe L.A focuses on greening the ports of L.A and improving the horrible conditions and pollutions problems. Dorit has suggested creating some form of nautical imagery, such as a boat or harbor and likes the idea of incorporating lungs into the design. I am going to start some sketches and ideas, possibly trying the lungs out as the actual sails to focus on the “breathe” component of the organization.
One of my first tasks is designing the banner that will be featured at the top of the website. The logo needs to be placed within text that states, “Green Lifestyles” and the main components of the organization such as Green Lifestyle T.V and Green Lifestyle Film Festival. Dorit would like a font that is flowing and appears as if it is “dancing” around the logo. The website name should also be placed below this logo and move along the curve of the circle, not static. Right now I need to find a handful of fonts and play with the placement of the logo and have Dorit decide what she likes best.
Few previous ideas that incorporate the logo and text. My main challenge is having the logo be large enough so you can see all the details. It is a very detail oriented logo, which they want to keep, and it is a struggle to work with since it doesn't necessarily work on large and small scales.
This internship is my first experience working with a client and exploring ways to incorporate my personal design style along with theirs. Dorit loves color, especially bright warm colors! Right now, she prefers burnt oranges, reds and blends of yellows and oranges as well as incorporating green for the Green Lifestyles message. She described the style she is searching for as a Zen theme with clean colors and a dominating white palette. Another quality she likes to include with informational posters is borders around different components to emphasize their importance. Incorporating preferred colors and borders should not be a difficult challenge. One challenging aspect will be the actual design. Most designers tend to believe that less is more in terms of maintaining a clean design, but clients may not always believe that. Dorit is one of those clients that likes lots of information on their posters and website while shying away from white space. Hopefully once I start doing more design we can compromise to develop something we both enjoy.
Along with myself, there are three other summer design interns and we will all be working as a collective design team. As always when working with a group of people, especially those with varying creative views, there will need to be compromise. Two of the interns, Nick and Lindsay, are both from New York but attend Boston University and Catherine is a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. They all seem great so far and hopefully we can work together collaboratively by combining and highlighting eachothers skills. Nick and Catherine both excel in web design work and are skilled in Flash so I am hoping to learn more in both those areas this summer.

The offices for Green Lifestyles, are located in the Breathe L.A building. Breathe L.A is an organization that works alongside GL in and right now is in pursuit of “greening” the ports and harbors around the L.A County area. I hope to learn more about this organiz
ation this summer and plan on attending the boat outing and tour of the ports in July. Dorit, the CEO of GL, describes the ports around L.A as horrible and polluted.
