HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT A GRAPHIC DESIGNER DOES? Before, I didn't like going to the plaza to buy because I had no idea how to order things;  Can you ask the fishmonger to clean your anchovies?  Is half a kilo of pumpkin a lot or a little?  Do carrots always go in bunches or will they also give them to you alone? ... Over time I have discovered that, if you ask, the people at the stalls respond delightedly. Saving the distances, something similar happens with commercial graphic design.  I find myself in confusing situations that are a consequence of the lack of information.  Many people do not know what my work consists of and do not ask.  They prefer to keep a safe distance from this professional sector (in case we bite) or to act on preconceptions.  On the other hand, the people who work in this field also tend to assume that whoever requests our services knows exactly what we do, and this is not always the case.  This leads to absurd situati...

Many of the opinions put on the air by uneducated non-members of the sector have been repeated so many times that they have become truths accepted by all, but they are not true. Today we have to fight against these myths and justify our work over and over again. Let's start! 1. GRAPHIC DESIGN IS DRAWING LITTLE PICTURES WITH THE COMPUTER  A good design takes a lot of hours of work before it takes shape on the computer. It is not new to disparage art and the creative professions. 2. EVERYTHING IS DONE BY PRESSING A KEY ON THE COMPUTER  More of the same, call it A or call it B, the best thing is to get up and put the person in question in front of the computer to press the key. The computer does not have a panic button that activates an automatic process that starts, runs, and terminates a project. If you press the c key, it will only write the letter c, and that is if you have a text editor open. 3. THE GRAPHIC DESIGNER IS A GOOD DRAFTSMAN  Nothing could be further from rea...

The graphic designer profession is one of the most punished by society, perhaps for being one of the least understood and for the ignorance of those who only seek to underestimate what is of others. These 5 myths about graphic design are not intended to be a personal opinion, many of them surely you have heard from others or have even said or thought about them. As a graphic designer I want to draw attention to the values ​​that we have and that it takes a lot for others to accept.  1. STUDYING GRAPHIC DESIGN IS VERY EASY  Of course, it is not medicine, engineering or a law degree. Perhaps the number of subjects of study is lower than that of other majors, but reaching the required objectives to finish with a university degree is quite difficult. I can tell you that there are subjects in anatomy, both animal and human, psychology, art history, technical drawing ... And these you have to brood to pass them. Of course there are others that are more practical such as sculpture, p...

They say that the  portfolio of a graphic designer   is the  best resume  that exists when looking for work.  Although it is important, the truth is that the  curriculum vitae of a graphic designer  is much more than a sample of his work and what he is capable of doing. If you are looking for a  job as a graphic designer,  your  resume  should consist of two parts: on the one hand the information and on the other the portfolio with samples of your work.  Remember, if there is something that characterizes the work of a graphic designer is  creativity , so start with your resume as it will be the first thing they see of you. What should the resume of a graphic designer look like? If you are specialized in some aspect of specific design, for example, you are good at illustrations, infographics, you have a specific style, you are an expert in typography ... you can make your CV reflect it from the first moment. However, keep i...

You probably wonder  why this design story is for children and adults?  Well, because graphic design is for everyone and has its origins in this premise.  If we go back to the Paleolithic era we would see how cavemen already communicated in the most natural way possible through paintings on rock walls. There was no language as such, so no typesetting has been found from that era, but what do you think!  representative figures of hunting scenes have bequeathed us.  It is what today we know as "Cave Paintings". Although cave painting could not be considered within the current definitions of graphic design , this type of artistic manifestation is part of its origin.  Communicating through images is something we do from a young age, as it is the simplest and most natural way of making ourselves understood.  When we are children we are beginning to discover the world and express ourselves.  Ancient man was also discovering the world and finding the wa...

If by now you are wondering what is  graphic design ?  Or would you like to better explain to your family and friends what the fascinating world of design is all about?  (without having to lie too much) stop suffering! I have taken the time and work to explain it to you in parts and in the best possible way.   What is graphic design?  Graphic design is considered to be activities aimed at communicating through images or a set of visual elements , which will transmit - from the concept - an idea or feeling to the viewer (but not to any viewer).  Within the definition of graphic design, it is established that the message produced responds to specific objectives, aimed at a particular audience to which the message is focused. Without going any further in the explanation, Graphic Design is everything that transmits something through visual composition, be it love, hate, joy or sadness, but with a particular emphasis on a specific audience and objectives.  ...
