Week 9: Blog Assignment #6
I consider myself a creative individual with a broad range of interests, knowing a little about a lot but acknowledging that I can’t know everything. I am always eager to learn and educate myself across various topics. My expertise includes graphic design, photography, fashion, interior design, makeup, music, painting, drawing, writing, and organization. I find joy in singing, dancing, and indulging in movies and TV shows. While I appreciate dark humor, I hold strong values and strive to be a better person every day. Family is at the core of my values, and I have a deep love for my country, Peru. I am enamored with our traditions, food, nature, landscapes, and communities.
My journey into the world of art began at an early age, inspired by my sister’s passion for drawing anime and cartoons and my mother’s love for singing and dancing. Growing up, I was drawn to visual aesthetics, finding beauty in posters, albums, and anything visually appealing. I strived to make everything aesthetically pleasing, from my notebooks to my handwriting and love letters. When I decided to pursue Graphic Design, it opened up an adventurous world for me. I finally grasped the essence of what makes a graphic piece visually pleasing – the color palette, composition, balanced fonts, and the interactions between elements. I acquired the technical skills to draw faces and bodies, understanding proportions for different elements. It felt like magic! I could now recognize and label every aspect that contributes to a balanced piece. This journey also led me into the realm of Photography, where, armed with my previous knowledge, I aimed to capture fleeting moments and share them with others. My thirst for learning was insatiable, finding endless possibilities with the right knowledge.
My unique perspective stems from my experiences and knowledge. It’s about the way I scrutinise details and meticulously work towards achieving the envisioned results. Each time I embark on a photo shoot or design project, I bring the ability to pinpoint what I want to convey, backed by my knowledge and understanding of the tools. If there’s something I don’t know, I’m always open to learning.
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ― Ansel Adams
