BLOG 6 - Postgraduates Studies

I never really thought of what I wanted to do once I finish my studies in college, since I’m just finishing my first year and still learning about the diverse areas of design. For my fortune (or misfortune…?) it’s not something that’s really of any great concern to me (yet…?), because I’m the kind of person who thinks that those things should be seen over time depending on the interests we develop and the opportunities we’re given.



I think that especially for design, there are many areas in which one can develop, and therefore many postgraduate courses to choose from.


If I do end up studying a postgraduate programme, I would do so in order to complement my knowledge, since I think it is a great tool to increase levels of employability in such a competitive and demanding labor market. I would prefer doing it right after my degree, so I don’t lose the pace of study. But unfortunately (and specially in our country), that’s easier said than done, since you don't always have the resources, or the time it takes for studying a postgraduate degree.

I know very well that our country offers several postgraduate courses in different universities, but it would be interesting to me to look for opportunities abroad.


If I decide to study a postgraduate degree, I will choose it thinking on what best suits my professional needs and my personal interests, but I’ll take my time considering it.

BLOG 4 - My dream job

Imagen
Like many kids, my dream job was to be a veterinarian, since I love animals and it would’ve made me happy to help them. This only lasted a couple of years, as I began to realize that in order to help them, you would have to deal with very sensitive situations, and I was not sure if I would be able to bear them. As I grew older and having no Idea of what I wanted to do with my life later, I came across the career called Public Administration, and soon I felt it suited my skills and preferences, so I decided to study it . Going with the idea that it was my dream job, I studied this career for a year, but then I realized that contrary to making me happy, it made me extremely anxious, so I abandoned the career.  At that time, I became aware of how much I overlooked my other abilities, which were my facility to learn languages and my artistic side. So, I thought, what’s stopping me from making a living off this? Thanks to that, I decided to take a leap of faith to start studying design.

BLOG 1 - A place i would love visiting: Japan.

Imagen
Since a very young age I was really in touch with Japan's pop culture, such as anime, manga, and music thanks to my older brother interests, so it was no surprise that the homeplace of all of this ended up grabbing my attention. Back then it was simple as that, but now there’s a lot of other reasons why I would like to go there at least once in a lifetime. The culture of this country is, in my opinion, a perfect blend of Eastern traditions and Western modernity that can be seen everywhere. Japan’s art , architecture, design, cinematography, dance, and like I mentioned before, pop culture, are reason enough to visit Japan. Japan's temples and castles are a must! There are an estimated 80,000 temples and shrines in Japan of all sizes and some of them are over 1,000 years old . In Osaka, Tokyo, Mount Fuji and almost every Japanese city you can find temples and shrines that are worth a visit. I would love to visit the Kinkakuji temple someday, just look at how magnificent it

BLOG 3 - The Role of Technology in my Profession and Life

Imagen
  In today’s world, technology has been applied in people’s lives either as socialization alternative or as a working tool , and f or as long as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by it, the most common examples being TVs, videogames consoles and telephones, or even complex computer programs (thanks to my big brother), so I could say I’m very familiarized with it. My favorite piece of technology is probably my laptop! It’s portable, comfortable and it can be used to watch movies, design graphics, or even draw a piece of art. It can even be used as a tablet if you bend the screen backwards! It’s my all-time favorite, but I’m always open and excited to learn new forms of technology!   As designers we use printers, the internet, scanners, and different design programs to produce our final products. Technology has positively affected the design industry by helping designers improve on their skills and work, and with this making their jobs much faster and certain things way easier.
