Now I'm in my first year in the career of design and I have five subjects in total, three of them are theoretical and the other two are more practical, but my favorite one is Project. Project is the subject that have more hours that the others. In this class we work with many different types of materials, from cardboard to plaster of ceramic. From the start of the course we have been working in a tour that is going to be a representation under our individual perspective of Yungay, that is a chilean patrimonial neighbourhood. For this project we had to create a concept, that in design if you are in first year like me is super difficult and stressful; also we have to design a fanzine where we are going to explain to the user our tour, and a iconography that shows in a image our concept of the tour. Now we are working our iconography, we have to sculpt it in wood; the first time that we did it we have to use gouges but now we are using machines which are special for ...

Since that I knew that I wanted to study design I started to following a lot of Instagram accounts of designers and pages that upload posts related to design, but my favorite is Dezeen. Dezeen originally is a online magazine that published projects and news of architecture, interiors and design from all around the world; in the Instagram account they upload a brief description of the news or project that are post in the website. When you are on the website you can see two big sections, which are highlights and magazine, in highlights are the most popular or the most read post, and in magazine are all the post that are uploaded during the day; and there are also other eleven sections in the upper part that you can visit, three of them are architecture, design and interior that in there you can read specific posts about those topics. I visit the Instagram account every day when I'm bored or not doing something, because I like to see what is actually happen in the design wor...

When I was a child I never had a Playstation or a Wii because my mom never bought me one, she says that this types of games consoles don't let the children be children, at the time I was so angry with her but now that I'm older I'm very grateful to have had a normal childhood, to have played typical and old games like hide and seek or run and touch and a lot of board games. My favorite board game was (and still is) "La gran capital" , that it is like the actual Monopoly but the chilean version. When I was 6 or 7 years old my mom bought me this game when we went to a store that had a lot of board games of different types. I remember have played this game in summer with my mom and my cousin every day all day long, and that is the reason why I like it, for this kind of beautiful memories that I have playing it. Now, I would like to play the actual Monopoly, because I have never played it before, and I would like to know if it is the same to La gran cap...

Well, in this post I am going to talk about one of my favorites photos. I took this photo when I went to the march of the woman with some friends at the beginning of March of this year.  In the march there were many groups of people dancing and wearing costumes but this photo shows a woman that was doing a performance. She was dancing with other people wearing super pretty and artistic costumes and masks, at the time I thought that was so cool so I decided to take a picture of that.  This photo is one of my favorites because I like the way that she looks in it (and also I love photos in black and white) but mostly I like what represent to my, a woman who is free and confident with her body and it feels pretty with herself no matter what the people or the society in general says.

For hanging out in my free time I like to do two things: read and watch series or movies. I have seen so many series during my life of all types, like series of mystery and criminology, teenage dramas, series of superheroes, series of science fiction, among others, but my favorites series of all times are "The Walking Dead", "Game of Thrones" and "Breaking Bad", really this series are so good so I totally recommend you to watch them. Like I said before I enjoy different types of series, the history behind have to be good and continues and the main characters have to be interesting and also cooler to catch me, and that is why I love the three series that I mentioned before. When I start to watch a serie I become obsessed with that and I can't stop until I finish all the seasons or all the chapters that are available on Netflix or on the random website that I'm using. Lately I have been watching "Money Heist" (the original ...

In this post I´m gonna talk about my favourite piece of technology. Well, I´m not a huge fan of technology but the first thing that come to my mind is my phone. The first phone I had was in 2011 when I was eleven years old, and if I honest I never used properly. Now I have a phone and it is way much better that my first phone, and I used for almost everything, like call people, wach some videos in youtube, take photos, listen music, etc.; but I´m not that kind of person who use his phone all the time and all day, and personally I don´t like when people do that, especially when you are talking to them. However, I like my phone because is more easy find information on internet and keep in touch with closer people, but I can live without it. So if you have a phone don´t use it like if you depend of that, be more moderate and share with your closer people.
