Hi everyone, today I'm going to speak about my dream job. For sure It will be in relation with animation/motion/VFX design and logo design, those both are my favorite areas about design, But I'm not sure yet about what exactly the job will be, It would be as animator or logo designer, or maybe both. Also I would like to work indoors, in a modern office with the best and most updated computers, ergonomic and comfortable seats, relaxed and funny environment, in conclusion a nice place where all workers will cooperate, teach and learn with and from each other, without hierarchies and in the future my dream is to get my own studio of graphic design.  I have always liked drawing since I was a child, then I wanted be cartoonist, but It was socially disapproved, so I never toke into consideration, later when I was 14 I learned the animation posibilities and I liked it too, in spite of everything finally I am currently studyng graphic design and It is my dream career, in the future I w...

Hi everyone! today in this post I'm going to speak about the my enviroment practices. I don't consider myself a green person, but I am in agreement with the enviromently care ideas, unfortunatily I don't have many green practices (like a green person) but I try to don't consume so much plastic products. I remember when I was a child was normal for the people threw their trash to the ground and nobody question that, but had a moment since everything come to change and today is less common that. I don't remember where or how I lernt about the green practices, maybe the all society was come more conscious and started to be informed about that with the new generations. In my primary school for example, I remember that they taught and promoted the enviroment care, they asked us do drawing about the enviroment pollutions and also there were a green squad. Also, I remembrer that always hate pollution, I didn't like the polution emitted by the buses and cars, neither th...

  Hi everyone! On this day I'm go to speak about The Simpsons, my favorite cartoon ever. I have watch the Simpsons since I was a child, about 8 years old I think, so I remember me watching It on the T.V family. But It wasn't until I was about 11-13 y.o that I turned into a really fan of the show. ¿The reason? Its absurd and irreverent sence of humor in addition of Its particular family and characters captivated my mind.  The show is about a peculiar American yellow family and their daily problems. Among the family characters We can find: The Dad Homer, He is an average father with some alcohol problems (He is addicted to "Duff" Beer) and uncertain intelligency hahaha, Marge, the Mom with her characteristic blue hair, who adds the rational perspective, Lisa the daughter, the smarter of the family and school, Bart, the son and problematic boy and finally Maggie, the baby Who never says any word. Also the other characters of the show are memorable and good too, for examp...

  Hi , today I'm going to speak about songs that bring me memories about events of my life. The first one is a classic piece, "Canon in D" of Johann Pachelbel ( You probably are thinking "Oh a man of culture", but no hahaha) this song reminds me to my graduation of the primary school and brings me a very nice memories, because the primary school was a very nice part of my life, I was together with my primary class mates from my 1st school year (Kinder) to 8th grade, those are 9 years of my life, so the end of this stage in my life was very emotional and important, and why this song? because It is the song wich was played in the ceremony and not just that, I was part of the team who played the song with flutes, guided by the music teacher, We had the responsability to musicalize the ceremony and that was a nice experience too, because We spent so much time practicing in order to be perfect and also the flute that I used was bought by my Grand Father Gaston (I s...

Hi everyone, today I'm going to speak about a country that I would like to visit.  When I was about 11 years old, I had the idea to visit The   United States , I think in part, because the most of our culture of consume comes from this place: movies, videogames, music, series, cartoons, technology, cloth, etc. We have a big cultural influence from It. A lot of famous persons lived there too: Albert Einstein, Chaplin, Bruce Lee, big designers: Paula Scher, Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Milton Glasser, etc.  In my case I remember watching the super-hero movies like Spiderman with Tobey Maguire, where the story takes place in New York (or almost looks similar) with the peculiar yellow taxis, or the videogames, for example: GTA Vice City (Grand Theft Auto) where the game is inspired by the country. So United State was an example of trends for me, I had the sensation that world happened in that place. All of that caused in Me a big interesting in learn English when I was in 8th degree...

 Hi! On this post I want to speak about the subject that We studied at the last class "Free Education".  I personally believe in Education as a important thing to growth and also an important factor for the humanity progress, consequently I consider the education don't should be a privilege, on the contrary should be accessible for everyone, doesn't matter if someone is poor or rich, should exist the opportunity for study. For it reason I think is very important of implement Free Education, so that all people have the right for study what they want. Actually is very sad think what the education is a still a privilege, especially the good one. On the education context I very agree with José Maza, a very intelligent chilean astronomer, who thinks: The most important thing to the national progress is not copper, is the brain of all 17 millions of chileans!, he also says: Maybe the reason why the chilean education is so bad is because it is convenient for t...

  Hi everyone! today, I want to speak you about "ForoAlfa": a webpage platform community about design in spanish. On this web page you can find a lot of articles made by experts, about different areas of design, with the main purpose of build discussion arround the discipline.   One of my favourite experts on this page is Norberto Chaves: an argentinian communication specialist based in Spain, also theorist, teacher, and corporative identity expert, he has wrote many books like "La imagen Corporativa", "El diseño invisible", "El oficio de diseñar" among others.  If you are interested in branding, Norberto Chaves is an author that you will should read!  Other interesting although I think controversial author on the ForoAlfa's page is Luciano Cassisi, He has published articles like "Marcas y significados del color", in it article He speaks about the really utility of colors in Brands, refuting the color psychology t...

Hi everyone! Today, I'm going to write about John Wick: actually, one of my favourite saga movies. John Wick is a contemporany action movie that arrived to change the action genre for its elegant aesthetic and its perfect coreographies. Personally, the reason why I like this movie is because the coreography moves are based on martial arts techniques, principally Judo and Jiujitsu ( I wrote in a last post that I practice Judo): my favourite martial arts. Then, when I knew that this movie has those martial art techniques, I really wanted to watch the movie (at that moment John Wick 1). And besides,  I think that I love it because it is completely full of action in all of its length, practically there isn't any script more than John Wick killing ninjas hahaha, but the plot starts with the principal character, John Wick, an ex mafia hitman, who quitted all of it for a quiet life with her wife. Unfortunately, she got sick and died. His only memory about her is her dog. Bu...

Hi everyone, today I want to show you this photograph,   It was taken 13 years ago when I was 13 in 2006 , t his picture brings me back to my childhood and nice moments when I started in judo ,  in it you can see me to apply a judo technique named U de hishigi Juji Gatame  (better knows like armbar in english)  to my uncle Andrés,   this technique is one of my favoritied since i learn it, also is part of a fighting mode in judo called Newaza . I love newaza, it is a fight mode focused in the fight ground, this mode are compund be armlocks, shouldlocks, immobilizations, chokes and  asphyxias among others.  In this mode doesn't matters the stronge, it's all of  take advantage of  the rival force.  In the period of the image, me and my Uncle training in a homemade Tatami; Tatami is the superfice where judo is practice, this is very good absorving impacts of throws and avoid wounds. Before build that we tried to train...

Hi everyone, in this post i tell about my pastimes and hobbies;  when i have some of free time, i really love watch some audiovisual  piece , like a movie , serie , or japonese animation better known as anime . The reason why i like it, is because relaxes me and entertains me, also it is very related with graphic design so that i also learn watch its.  As usual i prefer watch anime, because has a shorter duration( a chapter of anime is 20 minutes in lenght) c onsequently spends less time.   In respect to my hobbies, i really like martial arts, i practice Judo  since i was a kid because my uncle teach it to me, nowaday i'm 3rd kyu or green belt, actually i'm part of the universitary team and compete for them, the last year i achieve win the national university tournament, that was very exciting and a great memory of 2018.  By last, graphic design may be it's for me a pastime too, because i enjoy design even when dont have to work for university....

I think that my favourity piece of technology has been the computer (PC) for its multifaceted functions, since i was a child i felt fascinated for this technology and it filled me with curiosity, back then i did use the pc for funny, things like play games or draw in paint, watch movies, sometimes discover what happened if i moved somethings, just to learn how it worked. For other way i think that pc its a great invention because since it was created, has allowed make a multiple task more easly, in lees time and requiring lees effort, in general lines, it has made our life more easly, things like connectivity, social networks, office work, advanzed calculations among others could not be possible with out this technology.  To end, thanks to the computer multiple areas have been developed or seen new opportunities as in the case of graphic design where the computer has become an great ally.

After that i finished the school, I dont have a clear idea about what career i should to choose or what will want to do in the future, but it wasn't always like this. When i was a child i really love drawing, it was my principal activity all days, then i thought that i wanna be a cartoonist, but my family said that was a poorly paid career, reason why i descarded the idea and  i did'nt think about that posibility again. However i continued drawing and doing comics for funny, as well thinks that involved creativity, because i discovered Animation and tried to make one and also like me. But at the moment to i have to choose a career i was not sure wich one, and went for computer engineering because i thought that career was the future and also was moneymaking. But this was a bad decisions because it was not my passion, so i come out and i did the psu again for enter to Graphic Design (a career related with draw and creativity) but still whitout total security. Now I look ...
