My favorite subject of this semester

The subject that most I have like is "Procesos y Prototipos I", here we see different things that help us in the process of design and create. The first classes, the teacher talked us about the different types of printing, what was each one used for and their benefits, types of engravings, terminations post press ( this topic caught me a lot ) and typographies, the different ways of classifying them and how we can identify typographies. Then, we start a project of a fanzine about "the touch" in this quarantine, we had to plan how we would, the story, colors, typography, if it would include illustrations, pictures or collage. To make this fanzine the teacher taught us to use Adobe InDesign, a program used to make books, and some types of binding, of which we try to do 3 in a class. I found this subject very interesting and entertaining, since I liked the topics we saw and found them very useful, also the teacher is good teaching and I was very entertainin...

WhatTheFont, a useful website

I don't visit career-related websites, because most of things related with Design I see in on social networks, especially in Instagram. So, I was thinking about what I could write in this post and I remembered a website that sometimes I use. This website is MyFonts ( https://www.myfonts.com/ ) , in this site you can search and buy different typographic fonts. MyFonts has different sections: Hot New Fonts, top selling of recent fonts ; Best Sellers, best selling of the month ; What's New, new fonts of this platform ; Special Offers, here you can find discounts ; Bundles, you can buy many fonts in groups ; and WhatTheFont, the reason because I like this website, in this section you can upload an image, select a word and this site show you what fonts can be. I have used WhatTheFont for search fonts that I see and like it or find fonts of Seventeen's albums that I needed for edits and university works. This part also has a forum where you can leave queries of fon...

My quarantine hobbies...

My hobbies before quarantine that I keep now are drawing, reading a lot of manhwas, listening to music ( all day ) , playing with my cat Wonwoo, talk about Seventeen ( my favorite group ) with everybody, making edits for blogs in a team of news and receive new people in a welcome team inside a community for fans of Seventeen. But I have new hobbies, that I couldn't do before because I didn ’ t have a lot of free time. My two principal quarantine hobbies are playing Minecraft alone or with my friend/stepsister in a server called BorjaCraft and watch Karmaland, a serie of Minecraft ( Yeah, my life in quarantine is based on Minecraft xd ) where 9 gamers playing this game. Other things that I do in quarantine are cooking pancakes or cookies, because is so funny for me, rewatching the same films and anime as always like Coraline, Back to The Future and Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi, watching videos of paranormal themes and investigate strange things that catch my attention and witchcra...

The best holidays

I really love this pic. In this picture are my stepsister and I, and it was taken for me on February 20 , 2019 , while we were in a car. That day our holidays began, I really enjoyed those days. This is my favorite photo because when I see it, I realize how happy we looked and how much fun we had. Seeing this photo, I remember how beautiful those holidays were, it was only 5 days, but we made the most of them. The first 2 days we went to Pichidangui, to relax on the beach and see the sea. The third day we went to Valparaíso, we stayed in a veeeery high house. That day we ate delicious pizza. The fourth day we went out to walk, we went up and down streets and without knowing very well how, we ended up in Viña. That night we talked a lot with my stepsister. The last day we went to El Quisco to leave my stepbrother where a friend, we had lunch there and then returned to Santiago.

Things that catch my attention on the street

I'm not a person that usually go out. Before quarantine, I was going from my home to FAU and then return to my home. For this reason, streets that I see always are the same. When I go out, things that catch my attention on the street are constructions, houses or buildings, their colors, if are old or modern, if are similar or different in that sector and the environment it creates. Another thing that catch my attention are artistic interventions and graffitis. Some graffitis are really cool and have deep meanings. I think that these artistic interventions make the streets more colorful and cheerful. I also like to see the green places that are in the city, I enjoy walk for these places, see people with their dogs and listen to the sound that the wind produces with the trees.

Importance of my smartphone in my life

I'm sure that if I have that choose my favorite technology device this would be my smartphone. Main reason is because my smartphone can do a lot of things. This smartphone is a Samsung Note  9  that my father gift me in Christmas and I don ´ t stop to use it since that moment. This smartphone has a touch pen with this I can draw, white and design. This device has many internal storage and this allow me download many files, songs, images, documents, apps and another things. Also, I can customize the wallpapers and organize my apps in folders. If someday I lose my smartphone, it would hurt me so much because this device is very expensive, and I would lose all my files and creations.  In the case that I would have to live without it I would miss can listen to music and takes pics wherever I go. ( Some screenshots of my smartphone )

How did I choose to study Design?

When I was a child I want to be astronaut, because always I've loved the universe, the planets and the stars. As I got older I realized that I really liked the artistic area. As the time to choose what to study approached, I could not decide on one in particular, I just knew that I wanted it to be in the artistic area. To the last moment I couldn't choose between Illustration and Design, but after looking at the subjects of Design and a guided tour in the FAU, I decided to choose this career. Until now I've love being in the university, obviously is very stressful, but I've made good friends. I'm still not sure what I specifically want to work on when I'm done studying, but I want to focus on graphic design or illustration work and maybe start my own business.
