A subjet i liked this semester

This semester i have to sign up on differents electives that i think that will be usefull on my development as a designer. So the different electives were: Infography, photography and editorial design. And mi favorite subject was editorial design were we had to make a book for our own. I enjoyed very much this project because i hope to work on editorial design someday, and i learn sou much about different things like, the parts of the book, the material, tipography, and how to use this tools to harmonize them with the content of the book and have finaly a good book.  Other things that i enjoyed about this subject is that many people that works on this world of books came and give a talk of what they do, and how they make it to be where they are.  The teacher, who is a nice person, bring from her personal library many many books, all differents between them, all beautiful and amazings. I have the pleassure to know thing that i don't know about books, how is the process b...

My favorite career-related website

As a student of design, i need to search for inspiration and references all the time when i'm doing a project, and that's why my favorite career-related website is  Pinterest .  This website is also an app for the phone, so you can visit it, when ever o where ever you want to, this is one of the reasons of why i like this site so much. It is very comfortable to use, because its layout it's very simple: The mean section is the "home" where you can see many pictures related to the images you already have save (or pined) on the carpets you can make to save the pictures by topic.  I use this website when i need inspiration for a new project, on graphic and industrial design, you can see what have others do and get inspired or use them  as a reference. Sometimes i use it for reference in drawing, like body postures and animals. And occasinally i look for new palettes of colors to my new designs. Sometime i just look up for images that i like and save them for ...

Travels i would like to make

I would love to travel around the world, and learn about many countries and their cultures as possible, but if i have to choose only a few places in the world, i would choose Barcelona because this city have many beauty landmarks with history like the "Sagrada familia".  Chichén Itzá is another place i would like to visit, because i wouldlove to know about the Mayas, i think that the pyramids are amazing, and how they were built. This place and others like Machu Picchu are very important to know more about the beginning of big civilizations in latinamerica.  Finally i would love to travel to Tokio because it's completely another culture. The mixture of tradition and techology is something i would like to know. Also the Japanese food is something i would love to try in the country that were made originaly. The list could go and never stop, but these are my favorite candidates to travel when finally have the money to spend on this jaja.
I choose this photo because means a lot to me. This photo was taken in the end of 2017 when a friend get graduated from school. He is the youngest of our friend group so he was the last to go out from school and all of us went to the ceremony to see him. The photo shows a moment after the ceremony when we gave him a gift and a big hug from all of us and it was taken by the mom of him. All of us were so happy in that moment even when i  had to stay awake all the night before the graduation for a university project, that wasn't matter in that moment. This picture means a lot to me because represents an end of a phase in life in the school we all grew up and the value of friendships that last longer than just "friends from school".

My favorite movie

In the first post i mentioned that i love the serie of  "Game of thrones", but now i'm going to talk about my favorite movie "Mulan" "Mulan" was released in 1998 and it's the story about a woman who enters to the army of China, as a man, to fight in war against the hunos,in the place of her father, who is too old for the war.  I love this movie because Mulan isn't like the other princesses who waits for a man who saves them. Mulan is a strong woman who cares a lot about her family and will do anything to protect her loved ones.  In my childhood i saw this movie a lot of times with my grandfather and we enjoyed every time. I know almost every line and song on this movie and i can't get bored of it. We still have the old VHS and sometimes we dust off it and see it like the first time.

My favorite piece of technology

My favorite piece of technology is my camera. I always loved to take photos, but in my family there were only basic digital cameras, so even if i took a lot of pictures with it, i coudn't have the freedom to play with the commands (the light, focus, speed, etc) and the liberty to take it anywhere i want it to.  So, five o six years ago, my dad gave me to my birthday my first reflex camera, i was so happy because now i was going to learn much more about photogaphy. In my daily routine i don't use very much the camera, but, for example, when i travel, the camera is the first thing i put in my backpack or just a work for university is so much better when i have to take pictures.  Maybe this object isn't vital for my daily life but if i lose it, it would be so sad for me. 

Why did i choose the career i'm studying?

Since i was little i loved to paint, i always wanted to be a great artist, but i knew (and everybody told me) that as an artist i wasn't going to make much money to live from it. In school i started to like the subject of biology, because it was easy to me. In some point i began to want to study medicine, but also knew that it wasn't easy and i didn't like it so much like arts. I wanted to study something that were usefull and creative, so i started to research, and i found that design have some of it. And i choose it, not knowing where i was entering to. Even when everyone told me that was i going to starve in that career. I began to learn about design and i fall in love with the career, even if sometimes makes me ask why i choose it.
