This semester

A subject I liked during this semester… hooo. I’ll have to go with editorial design, it's been a lot of fun, the teacher it’s really motivated, I have seen, so many books, and have people as guest at the classroom to talk about they work, it’s awesome! I had a good time at it, I only wish the class wasn’t on Friday, sometimes I felt so tired because of the rest of the week, but I attended the class anyway. The other subject that I really like this semester has to be archery, it help me relax, have a lot a of fun, laughing out loud with the people I got to knew in there, we were talking about join the competitive team, but I don’t know, part of the appeal, the reason because I like it, it's that I don’t have to be competitive, just have a good time and aim at the target so, thout I really enjoy it, I’m indecisive on what decision take, we’ll see. thanks for reading my blog uvu!

Travels.

There are some places i’d like to visit some day, I don’t know if some day i’ll be able to do it, but… yeah. First, I would like in a future travel to japan. I have seen blogger travel there, and the natural places the have show are  so beautiful and the stores to shop, so awesome, they have so many cute things!! I have heard of a studio ghibli museum, were they have frames of the movies that they have produced, I would love to visit it. I’d like to visit France, cause, like japan, through the experience of youtubers, I have heard that is a really pretty place, have really nice places to see. Finally, I’d like to visit the E.E.U.U, Disneyland, I have seen videos, and…. I don’t know, it seems cool, I have heard that it’s for the best to go when you have the age to appreciate were you are, and that the attractions on the park are really cool, or pretty, or… well, it depends on the theme of the ride. One day, I’ll do it.

who I admire

I don’t know if they are an expert on my field of work, but I really admire Rebecca Sugar and her work on cartoon network as animator and screenwriter (as a producer and songwriter too, obvious, but I guess that the two first are more near to design??)  She’s born on July 9, 1987, and it’s from Silver Spring, Maryland of the United States. She attended School of Visual Arts in New York, she has work at fist on Adventure time at first as a storyboard revisionist, but shortly after she was promoted to storyboard artist, her first episode in this position was “It came from the nightosphere “ and she stayed until one of my favorites episodes “Marcy and Simon” on the fifth season of AT (looking back, it’s funny to think that one of the episodes where she work as a storyboard artist, was the one to got me into the show in the first place). After that, she left to focus on her on show, Steven Universe, that had the last episode of the fifth season air at the beginning of the year, ...

I have to chose a photo that I like and explain thins about it, so I choose to do this one, of my little girl, Luna.  I took it, last year when a I was working on a project that was kinda big, at least for me. Cause it was the first time working with wood, and I wasn’t a fan of the idea, I didn’t feel like I was capable of doing it I was feeling down about it. Then this little fella, comes to me, asking to be pick up, as she normally does. I took her, and she went to lie down on my lap, I took the photo because she ended up been so comfortable with me, so relax, It was funny and adorable at the same time to me. I like this photo simply because I love my dog, she’s so sweet, cute, loving, and childlike, and she always is there for me, been my companion, she just makes me happy.

Tv shows

Hello there!! today I’ll talk about some TV shows I like, cause I can’t pick one. Fist one- Steven universe. It's about a boy have human half gem ( a race of aliens on the show’s universe) named Steven who is learning how to use his powers, that were inherit to him from the gem of his mother, he lives with the crystal gems, garnet, amethyst and pearl, they are gem as well, they live on earth after they left their homeworld, to be free from they   original purpose. I love this one, I have cry so many times watching it. Watching how they struggle through their insecurities, and problems, it… really hits home. ;;  Second one – Star vs the forces of evil. The protagonist is star, a princess from mewni another dimension, that is learning to use her new wand, her magic and how to become a better queen to her people, in the journey she discovers some secrets on her family and where they came from, that change her a lot. Welp, with this one was a little more di...

My favorite piece of technology

Imagen
If I have to pick one, for now, it would be my Nintendo switch. I got it last year for my 20 th birthday as a gift from my mom, she knew I wanted to have one because I was watching at the time, clips from “The legend of Zelda: breath of the wild” played on a switch and also I was hype for the release of Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee!. She though it was a cute console, especially with the blue and red joy cons and I though the same, so, that’s the one a got. I think that’s a really pretty device, comfortable, and colorful.   I don’t use it that frequently now, because I have to put priority on my studies, but sometimes I just play a little in the portable console mode, because I don’t have to set up nothing to play. My life wouldn’t have that much of a difference without it. I’d watch let’s play videos of the games, as I normally do with other game devices.

Why did I choose design?

At first, when I was a young child I really wanted to try get into medicine as a career but, as I grew older I pick up a hobby that change my life: drawing. Then the understanding that everything that I like, videogames, books, illustrations, animated movies, TV shows, came to me, all were created by people and I could be one as well, I even started to think about stories, imagine and drawing character, give them a world, a life, a personality. My first option was illustration, or animation, but that options weren’t in a traditional university, so I opted for design, because people kept telling me that it was a good option for me and that's what I did. And here I am, is my fourth year here, though my third base on my subjects, It’s been difficult sometimes, sometimes I enjoy so much this it doesn’t feel like work anymore, and my dream still with me.

1st post: To present myself.

Hi there, this is the first assignment of the semester, write down a little about me. My name is Daniela, I was born in Santiago, 20 years ago. I was the first child of my mother, and first  grandchild to my grandparents. I was a well behave girl as a child, at school I used to have good grades, but didn't think that much about it, I hated math for a while but I grew out of it with time and practice, to the point that I genuinely stated liking it, it became fun for me at least. It was difficult for me accepting the fact that school ended, I was really scared of the university and that new path of my life. I picked design as my career to study base on my principal hobby: drawing and making illustrations, it's what I love since little. My dream is, maybe one day be able to work on a cartoon or a movie, or a comic book, something of that style. Entertain people, make them happier, make them feel for the characters.
1. It´s easy for me speak to other people in English, specially when I trust the person who I am speaking to. 2. It's hard for me to make a relation between what I can communicate through a conversation vs what I write down, because, I don’t trust myself. 3. Something I want is keep the practice of my English, it’s been a while since I have the opportunity to speak and write stuff in English, that make me feel kinda rusty and insecure to be honest. 4. I learn best in classes where the teacher is friendly I guess? For mi at least, it’s when I finally feel comfortable around the teacher. 5. I participate more in class when… I just don’t. I try to ask just to the teacher, speaking I front of everyone, makes me feel like a dummy.
