DES 505 Journal

     As I was watching and listening to this interview with Bridget and Allison, I found it hard to retain all the information that they were saying with the visual steps up on the screen. By no means am I trying to say that these designers were wrong in how they were working as designers, it was the visual graphics that did not strongly complement the talk until later in the interview. I think what was missing was a more in-depth process of how the team handles a project. I liked how they showed the final pieces of the illustrations and what the end product became.           Growing up, reading books was hard and hard to sit through. So, I mostly went to reading more comics and "picture" books. My favorite books that I tend to go towards are ones with illustrations with a fictional story that has an enriching world-building element to it. I do think every publisher and author needs to have a website and collateral web-based designs that can ...

     During Omar Sosa Tzec's presentation, I thought that he was very thorough and detailed in what his focus is on as a designer. He shares his love for the design world by exploring and working on the semiotics and rhetoric of designs. The work he has conducted is shown to be very bright and vivid and also has a sense of complexity and structure. His study on delightful experiences is a very interesting topic that will help one's well-being.      As a student, I had the opportunity to learn and listen to Omar so I don't think I would have any questions for Omar. Actually, I would rather work alongside Omar and gain more of a perspective on what Omar works and looks for while designing. His enthusiasm for design is inspiring and I always look forward to receiving feedback from Omar because he helps new designers to think about the causes and effects of what is designed.

       During  Titan Vicencio interview, he explains what brought him into graphic design and how he got to the SF Coalition. Throughout his journey, he shares that you need to take the strides and initiative to prove your capabilities. He details how his exploration brought him from skateboard magazines to the tech industry to the design space. His passion for creative freedom drove him to try out design which is showcased in the projects throughout the interview. What I got from Titan's personality is that it's okay to be in a position of learning and not knowing everything right from the get-go. It was his openness to learning and gain experience that got Titan to fit into the role he is in now. Another trait that I recognized that got him to be in the role he is in now is trying to relate and draw near to his past.  In the interview, Titan displayed a lot of his work process that followed brand guidelines that were simple but showed a deep understanding...
