A subject you enjoyed studying

Photograph 

This semester took the field of "Language and photographic composition for design", it was a very interesting subject. The first classes learned the structures and the various tools that the camera has, in turn configure it for the various scenarios that are presented to us. 

Then we move on to the composition of the photograph itself, framing in the photographs so that the image is in harmony. Then we move on to approaches and depth of field.

Further forward we learned to play with the speeds of the camera, from which we learned to take photographs in frozen, flou or with sweep, with their respective speeds. 

Finally, we have been working on decontextualization, which, in simple words, is to get the essence of an object lost, making this seeming thing something else. An example of this is photographer Edward Weston, who manages to make a pepper look like a human figure.

Photography is a class very relaxed, which I really enjoy, which more than pass area, is a class open to dialog, where discusses the work of others, either said good things such as those that can be improved.

Kuler

Is a web site that allows us to create color ranges based on multiple parameters, so that the colors we use in a project are the most coordinated possible. We can choose a color and have a chromatic range based on analogous colors, monochrome, Triad, complementary, compounds, shadows or according to our own preferences.

Each one of them has some parameters that make the range has some concordance. 

If we bring this program to a design, is a tool quite useful because it allows you to visually that the colors of draft are in harmony and at the same time reflect a feeling, idea or thought.

Kuler is ideal for designers looking for inspiration in their projects. Create custom color themes from scratch which can later be shared on the website. On the same website you also see all the available palettes created by other users: so, one can download the palettes and edit them according to the designer's taste and at the same time looking to stream for his project.

What's your favourite TV show/film?

A dog's way home

This is a film that I am excited enough, during the entire movie from beginning to end, perhaps it is because of the affection that I taking to animals and dogs, above all.

This film is about a little dog named Bella. The story begins when Lucas (the protagonist) goes to feed some cats in an abandoned house, and they discover a dog who has survived thanks to the help of the cats, after her mother Pitbull and her brothers were caught by animal control. Lucas decides to adopt the puppy and takes her to his mother's house. For a while it is all joy for Bella until Gunter (the antagonist), the owner of the land of the abandoned house, appears, and because of Lucas' intervention to protect the cats living in the abandoned house, it is that Gunter gets Bella to be listed as Pitbull l, a dangerous race to the city, so if you leave Lucas' house it can be confiscated and sacrificed.

So, Lucas decides to take Bella to a city where the Pitbull’s are not forbidden. Leave a beautiful one where a relative of that city, while he looks for a house to move in and live quietly with Bella. However, Bella misses Lucas and escapes from her temporary caregivers, beginning a long and exhausting journey of approximately 600 kilometers, where she will create strong ties with other humans and animals.

This is a film with many teachings and emotions, thanks to the charm of Bella and the beautiful landscapes that are the scene of her long adventure. A family movie.

Personally I liked the whole movie, but one of the scenes I framed was with Bella already almost without energy, because of everything that had happened is with Lucas and this one tells him that he finally came home.

A photograph and its story

With this photo presented officially to my dog Simona. This photo was taken at the beginning of November, exactly the day of 4 November.

In the photo you can see a puppy as young as two months old. The story behind the photo begins like this, before the Simona I had adopted a cat which was my first pet, I had become very fond of him and my brothers the same, we took great care of him and we were very fond of him, until one day He escaped , with my brothers we went out to look for him, but we never found him. My dad saw us very sad looking out the window waiting for the cat to come back. Until one day while we were having dinner he saw an ad that they gave away puppies, he contacted the owner and we barely finished eating we went to look for the Simona.

And good when we arrived, it was night, so first I did was to bring it to my bed to sleep and it was there where I took this picture, including makes me company while doing the work of the University.

Why did you choose this carrer?

To begin with the truth in my childhood I never thought or was clear about what I wanted to be when I was big, all I knew was that I liked to draw. As a child I had many notebooks with drawings, and more than inventing drawings I liked to draw what I drew, and well over time those notebooks were lost.

Later when I was by graduate from college, I started to take awareness on what I had to study, even I liked to draw, only that now it is added the mathematics. That's why the ideal option was an architecture, but I did not want because Chile is a very seismic country and he was feeling that it was a lot of responsibility. Another option I liked was to study veterinary, I would have had the faculty next to my house, but because of the affection I have taken to animals, I feel that I had felt very sad that I could not help all the animals.

Finally take the decision to study design for a convention of institutes and universities to which one can find out information, clarify doubts and speak with persons who are already studying. Being that it was the best decision regarding studies, although there are stressful times of equal form there are moments that you enjoy, unlike the college here one finds people with the same tastes and interests.

When it comes to the university my idea was to work for any magazine, editorial or something, now I would like to start doing notebooks and notepads and someday have a small printing.

What are some of your favourite hobbies / pastimes?

Since I started the University, it has become more difficult to dedicate time even pastime, but before, when I had free time and not so many homework, I liked to pain in my free time, was not draw precisely, more than anything was painting playing with the color of the pencils, making gradients and mixing colors.

When I was a child I had many notebooks with drawings, mainly drawing objects that looked, like for example flowers, toys, ornaments, etc., before going to the University, toward a drawing to the week.

I liked to collect pencils of different year in the Collage, because I felt that each pencil had a different tone, even if it seemed the same color. At present, I have a box full of pencil without using.
