Post 2 : Songs and Memories

When I was a little I didn't listen to a lot of music. I remember I had two or three songs in an old cellphone and I used to listen to them every once in a while. But when I grew up I started to take interest in more music and bands, and now my cellphone is full of music that I like a lot.

One of those bands was Mago de Oz. I started to listening it with my brothers when I was a 14 years old. Their song, Molinos de Viento, is very especial to me, because when I listen to it, it brings back the memories when my family and I went to the south of Chile on vacation. We used to play it on a huge speaker when we went for a walk in the countryside, so every animal could listen to the song haha. I can imagine the cows dancing to the rhythm of the music.

Another band which brings memories more recently is Low Roar, especially their song I'll keep coming. When I listen to it I got goose skin because the lyrics are very intense and reminds me of a videogame that I used to play with my brothers every weekend. I remember how excited we were to get to the end of the game and how satisfied it made us. The name of the game is Death Standing, created by Hideo kojima, and I really recommend it.

Post 5: My Future Job

Since I was child I have wanted to work in creative industries as an animator or cartoonits. My idea has always been to work drawing comics because I like to draw a lot, and then make them into animations so they can reach to more people. I guess that was the reason I decided to study graphic design, because if I studied in a career that is similar to animation I could get better tools to archieve my dream job. Fortunately I have got them. However, life takes different paths, consequently my plans divert too. Now, with my new knowledge gained, I would like to have my own studio nearby my home, and work with my partner selling t-shirts made with serigraphy. Both of us will take care of each desing (colours, layout, typography, illustration, among others) and printing (frames, textile painting, and other tools), therefore it will be original and unique. Right now that is my dream and I know that we can archieve it soon. However, it doesn't mean that I abandon...

Why did I choose this career ?

Since I was little I always liked to draw, and this was one of my dreams: be a comic artist. W hen I grew up, I discovered the animation, then i also wanted to dedicate myself to doing that. However, after finishing school I did not know if I could really do that, so I looked for carrers that were related to the drawing, discovering desing and digital animation. In the end I chose desing because I could reach more jobs and not just make animations. My experience at the university studying desing has had ups and downs, but in recent years I have learned things related to what I really want to do in the future: to able to transmit emotions. And for that reasonn I would like to be able to work in an animation studio or video game development, either designing characters or their stories.

Post 1: A Country I would like to visit

I would like to go to Japan, because I am kind of an otaku (haha) and really love that country aesthetics. I know that japanese people is very reserved and are always busy. I am also aware that schools and jobs are very time consuming and demanding. They hang out in places like karaokes, arcades, bars, and like to go drinking after work. If I went to Japan I would like to go to comics or manga shops, see the sakura trees blossom, try the food like ramen and the real sushi, go to Hashiko's memorial, and go shopping. But the thing I would like to do the most is go to a summer fest or Matsuri and see the fireworks. I don't think I would like to live there because life is very expensive, so I would just visit.
