My name is Chanel Smith and I'm a Jamaican visual artist living and working in Florida.
I hold a BA in Visual Arts Management and a minor in Digital Media as well as completed three years of theological and ministry studies.
Having lived a devoted Christian life for over 8 years coupled with close to a decade of experience in design, I am equipped both academically and spiritually to execute impactful designs for your business.
As a Christian business owner, I understand the weight of a sacred vocation. Therefore, I create meaningful visuals for the glory of God, keeping the Scriptures as the foundation of my design process.
Understanding God's heart in creation is crucial as an artist. It is important for me to design from a place of grounded biblical understanding of the Holy Trinity and Their divine role and importance in creation.
Our businesses should worship Him.
My favourite thing to design are logos!
Your logo will remain the most defining and memorable visual aspect of your business. As seasons and marketing campaigns come and go, so will your style and interests.
For this reason, it is important to me that your logo, the face of your brand, represents your testimony, why God has called you into this business endeavour and/or symbolisms that are rich in history and sentimental to you. Envisage your logo as message.
This is what will last!
Scripture application in logos
Here, I'm using my logo as an example to briefly show the treatment of Scripture in the design as well as sentimental and personal value. My heart behind Beth Autumn is for it to be a place where the Lord dwells due to the fragrance of using my gifts as worship unto Him. I wanted to use symbols that testified of Jesus which ultimately attracts the Holy Spirit. In Hebrew, 'beth' means house, which unites the narrative of a place for the Lord. One could assume that my business conducts architectural services because of the house symbol. And that's what makes a logo unique, it can be an indirect representation. It doesn't have to be literal. It was important for me to retain the imperfect hand-drawn appeal of the logo, recurring themes of 3 to represent the Trinity as well as having the wings of the dove outstretched referencing a personal encounter I had with God. This attention to detail is what makes a logo not only special but powerful.
Our businesses should worship Him.
