1.Could you please define Graphic Design in your own words?
It is to communicate an idea as it is and how it must be, persuading people with your own point of view. If I could define it with some words I would say: Expression, solution of the problem, creativity and versatility

2. What influenced you to pursue Graphic Design?
I was influenced by art and the idea of introducing and creating things, I can express myself in a cool way, without describing things as they aren’t, everything in graphic design has a reason and this kind of art is a way of expressing very interesting.

3. Could you please describe the educational process required to become a Graphic Designer?
You will first learn compositive skills, them you will know how to handle programs on the computer, you’ll make lots of projects which will make you understand how to use the things you have closer to you to create.


4. What are the skills you need to be a good Graphic Designer?
You need to be very open minded, you have to be creative and have a great imagination, you have to think out of the box and you can’t be lazy. You will learn and you will take experience along the way

5. What job considerations were you looking for after you completed your education?
Well I was looking for some established places like magazines, newspaper companies, and publicity agencies.

6. What's something of your school life that you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed parties a lot when I was in high school. (Laughing)

7. From your perspective, what is the most difficult part of being Graphic Design student?
Well, sometimes teachers will ask you for things out of the common and you will need to fit them in a way they can make sense together.

8. What are your plans for the future?
I want to have my own publicity agency and improve my skills in a independent way, I hope to have a family too.

9. Point out your most personally gratifying moment in Graphic Design school.
When I had the presentation of my final project of degree, I was so scared, but and the end I got good qualifications.

10. Why would you recommend Graphic Design as a career?
Well, I recommend graphic design as a career because you will learn a little bit of everything, and I would say that most of the people think that it is an easy career and it is not, you need design for every little thing, all the things have to be designed before and it is a colorful and a beautiful career.

Falling in love

This is a video that my teacher showed in my class, all my partners had to say what our opinion was about it.

Fall from Lainy Voom on Vimeo.

Well, in my opinion, the video shows the girl thinking of a guy, remembering things about him and seeing a picture, the colors around her tell us that she is kind of sad because she cant see him, and then the colors change into blue and cool ones,the video show the people how deep can a person fall for another one, it shows the girl falling into the water and then into some grass, she flyes into the sky and some other things and then they see eachother and they share a love hug.
