Post 8: A subject I have enjoyed studying this semester


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 sculpt.

I like this subject because is so unique, even though there are days that I don't sleep. I enjoy work with all kinds of materials, and also do things that I never thought that I was capable to do, like cut wood with a power saw.

Post 6: My favorite board game

Imagen
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...

Post 3: My favourite piece of technology

Imagen
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.

Post 2: Why did I choose the career of design?

When I was a child I wanted to be a dancer or a chef, but I never dreamed and less thought about a serious profession. In high school when someone asked me about what I wanted to study I always responded "anything that involves art and math", so when I applied for the university I was between architecture and design, but thinking in what I like and what I want to be in the future I choose design. Now I can tell that the career of design is hard, because the methodology of the classes or rather the classes in general are so different of the classes that I was familiar in school, but I still happy with the choose that I made. In the future I imagine myself working like an independ industrial designer and having my own workshop.
