My Friend of graphic design


Hi there again!! Meet other friend, this is Beatriz Colina, She is twenty years old, she lives here in Maracaibo specifically in Cecilio Acosta Avenue. She studies graphic design, so we are in the same classes.

Beatriz said me that she likes to study, she likes to practice the programs that she use for her career and hear music at the same time, she likes to go to the movies and see action movies, and she likes animals very much but she likes elephants more than anything. But also she told me that she doesn’t like VALLENATOS (me neither), and hates eggplants.

Her dream is to be a very productive person in the future and make a difference with her career. She wants to learn everything she can every day. And her opinion about English is that she consider it very important if she wants to work outside her country or work with different people around the world, that's why she wants to learn it, because is a very important tool for any job.

So I hope that you know a little about my friend Beatriz, keeping around and take care!!

Check this link!

Hi people!!, How are you there!!, there is a link that I like that you check, this link is about “Making yourself likeable at work”. I think it is a very interesting article and it result convenient for the people want to keep good relationships with the people work with you.

Penelope Trunk, show you things that most of the people do bad when they work, and one of there is thinking only in work and not thinking in the other people that work with you. So, I agree with her when she says that “you get promoted in this world because people like you, not because you get work done”. I think many companies that looking for personal they interview about the knowledge of the area of work, but even that also looking for an interesting people that can offer other things like friendly, a nice people, a good humor people these things is transmit in your work.

So I hope that you read this article, and enjoy this 5 minutes that you take for that. I hope keeping around and have a nice day!

about graphic design...

1. Could you please define graphic designing in your own words?
Graphic Designing for me is re-designing old things or things that look bad, things like a logo of a product, a traffic-signal, bad advertising. Also, graphic design is about creating new things, new ways to transmit a message by graphics, maybe creating things that make the people stop, look and find them interesting.

2. What influenced you to pursue graphic designing?
The reason why I choose to study graphic design is because I like to draw. I like creating new things. I like to work with advertising, choose colors, mix colors, and everything that I can see and transmit a message.

3. Could you please describe the educational process required to become a graphic designer?
To become a graphic designer, you have to study how to draw, not perfectly, but just good enough to present ideas in a paper like a first design or sketch. You have to learn how to work with the programs of graphic design like Photoshop, Freehand and others that are used nowadays to create things and look better. Also you have to know some painting techniques, printing and others.

4. What are some of the skills that are involved when designing?
I think drawing because you have to present your first ideas, mixing of colors, study of the forms, be creative, try to think in something new, know about the programs of graphic design.

5. What job considerations were you looking for after you completed your education?
I consider work in an important magazine or newspaper, maybe I would like to build my own company with friends of my career, but definitively I would like to work in an advertising agency.

6. What's something in your student life that you enjoy the most?
I enjoy the process when you create things, I like to draw so I like to put my ideas in paper, too and then work it in the computer.

7. What is the most difficult aspect of graphic designing?
I think is the time because you need time to think, to have ideas, a good idea that surprise the people, so then you have the idea you need time to work that idea like painting or copy in the computer and change it, like the color, the forms and else, and that take time.

8. What are your plans for the future?
I think looking for a job here or in other countries in a publicity agency… I hope that I’ll find someone… and maybe I continue studying in some post-grade in advertising and marketing.

9. Point out your most personally gratifying moment in graphic designing.
I think is when you see your work done or finish this moment you see how every part of the composition become in one, how about the mixing colors, the forms, the harmony, this is when you see how much you evolve your abilities in this career.

10. Why would you recommend graphic designing as a career?
I recommend graphic designing as a career because everything that we see have design, every car, every table, every chair, every product was an idea in a paper that later become real. Also graphic designing is a vehicle to transmit and communicate ideas and thoughts by graphics.
