Chinita's Fair Campaing

Good afternoon people, welcome back again to my blog...Today it's time to talk about traditions, here in my country, specifictly Maracaibo, we celebrate something call "Chinita's fair", it's a celebration of 3 days from November 17th to November 19th, and is the most important celebration of the year.


For the final project of English, we have to create in group, a campaing for the Fair and put it on Second Life to let everyone in the world see it. We decide to create 5 pieces: 3 posters, 1 Logo and a Bridge that will be use as a non-conventional publicity and exhibition of our products.



This is the fisrt one. It's our logo to invite people to the fair,
This was made by my partner Arnaldo Lugo.


 The logo was made very simple but attractive to indicate the persons from another countries what it's going to be celebrating.

This is the poster made by Arnaldo Lugo too.
The concept was to bring the musical aspect of the fair that are
the ''Gaitas'' (Traditional music).
 The gaitas are our traditional music, we hear it 24 hours, 7 days of the week, is our identity, our culture, they bring the festivity, color and joy of the celebration to the fair, hearing the cuatro (small version of a guitar), maracas and drums.


Well, now It's my turn to show you what I've made:

This is a Poster made by me, Patz Eltic, in honor to our virgin.
 
I made this poster based on the crafts that are always selling in front of the church where the image of Chiquinquira's Virgin is. It's very minimalist, a geometric sinthesis with cheerful a vivid colors to represent the hopes and believes of our people for our patroness. I also made an index card about the poster, because the teacher tell us, to indicate what is the piece that we created.



Now we have another poster created by my other partner Maria Marcano (Mahoureta), It's also a poster in honor to our virgin, but a little more elaborated than mine:

''This poster highlights the most important and attractive icons of the chinita's virgin, using symmetry to order the planes on which are the images and other elements.'' she explained.

Next, we have what we can call a "Non-Conventional publicity" (As the name speaks explain it, it's a publicity very unique, extravagance about a product that is trying to attract persons to see what it is).

This is the Bridge of Maracaibo, a very turistic monument, where
are always cars passing by, and is the pride and glory of every
zuliano.This bridge was also made by Arnaldo Lugo.
My partner made this bridge at Second Life using the tools for building and I ask him to send me a screenshot, It's amazing what you can do at that place, I mean look at it, It's perfect!, I thank my teacher to show us this fantastic world and a way to show our work to the people outside.

This is meee! I'm in Second Life...We are just like twins jah?
xD jajaja!

 It was kind of funny make the avatar look exactly like me, specially for my best friend Gabriel, who was always teasing me and make fun when the avatar was getting a little amorphous xD jajaja even I was laughing!...

And Finally the last picture, It's a picture that was taken in our classroom, those are all my classmates and their avatars (some of them) at Second Life, I finally get to see the picture after 2 months.


OMG I look so bad! x'( I didn't know and I was awake last night trying to
finish a work and I didn't even make-up x(.
So...To finish this post, I'll let you a mind map about what you should do to make a campaing for a product:




Well, that's all for today and I hope you can join us and celebrate with us our most important festivity of the year, we'll have an open exhibition this weekend, so join us to celebrate our Chinita...Happy Holidays!.

See you around,

Job Interview

Good night bloggerholics! what's up with your lifes? mine it's getting better! :)...today I'm going to talk you about job interviews and how to handle it to get the job that you're aspiring to get!..

First! I watched this video, I recommended to you: http://www.videojug.com/interview/the-job-interview, and this is what I learn:

1.- Not every interview are equals, in some of then start with a couple of minutes of small talks to get to know the interviewers, and then, they can ask you about your education, experiences, benefits for the company, etc. and others can ask you more about your habilities or how to handle some kind of situations. Remember that you must have your personal stuffs like the briefcase or folders next to you or in you knees, because the desk of your future boss is their own space, and you need to respect that, and also be pacient.

2.- Sometimes you getting interview with one person, and in others its A GROUP of persons. When this happens just relax, and remember that you have to adapt your answers for every people in the group, if you get interviewer by a male and female, you must remember that females tend to ask more about feelings and stories kind of stuffs, while the males tend to ask more directly.

3.- Always dress nice for sucess. You must dress nice, sophisticated, formal, professional, clean, that depends of the job you're applying to. And try not to over-react, don't make the impression that you're trying to hard like wearing too much make-up, or wearing too much accesories, always make it simple.

4.- Always make eye contact, pay attetion of what they're saying, be respectful, enthusiastic, energetic, positive, always smile, and give a nice firm handshake when you're with your interviewer. They have to see your positive attitude but also be aware of your personality, the 80% of your job opportunity depends on that.

5.- In a coffe/restaurant interview, there are always tricks. They're not only going to see if you have experience or a great education, they're also going to see you reaction of any kind of situation and your eating manners. Make sure to have a dinning etiquette, being focus even when you have too much distractions in the place of work and talk in a audible level.

6.- If you see that your interview it's poor, don't be sad, just ask your interviewer where you went wrong and take note on what you need to get better, and always be energetic and positive attitude

7.- If in any case you get an interview by the phone, it can be as tricky as the coffe/restaurant one, why?, easy, because you can't see body language or facial expressions of the person that is in the other side of the line, so you have to make sure to have a lot of inflection in your tone of voice, because that's the only first impression you're going to give.

8.- The companies are not interest in your personal things, they're only interested in how can you be useful and make then better, so don't waste the time talking about personal experiences, family status, ethnicity, etc.

9.- If at the end of the interview you don't get a callback, don't be shy to call them!, be proactive about you career search, don't waste the time waiting for them, because they might get busy or go to another town. And always give them thanks for assisted you...

10.- If even with that you don't get a callback, don't be upset or sad, just don't give up and keep trying, you'll get a good job with practice and a good attitude! :)...

Hope this have been useful for all you guys out there that are looking for a job, always glad to help!

See you next time!

Visiting UWA 3D Open Art Challenge

Good morning people, It's been a while...Today's post I'm going to tell you my experience at the 3D Art Challenge of UWA. It's like an art gallery but virtual, at Second Life. It was really amazing, I love being there, It was a really big place...BUT I MEAN REALLY BIG SPACE!...I want to assume that is because still need to get the other art scultures of other artists xD jajaja!. This was suppose to be a contest, this art scultures where going to exhibit for months and the winner gets money...not real money, Second Life money (Yes, they got their own money like every online game).

I try to talk to someone in there, but there was only me at the exhibit xD...And when finally someone arrive, just say ''Greetings'' and left xD....oh well...

When I got there I was exploring all the scultures, I love then all! they were just amazing!

Sphere of coloooors! How cute! I love it!
I don't know why that ''Person'' over there sitting on the bank
has a name like ''PatzElric Resident'' but it was a little scary
I thought someone was stoling my identity xD.


Told you...REALLY BIG SPACE!
I love that arc of colors! <3


This are the specifications of the art Challenge. Good deal.

I like this one. I not sure what It is, but it looks kind of Japanese.
I like it. It calls ''Miso Zusanowa''.


Minotaur of Carton. Amazing! I love it. So historic.
 



This was king of funny to see! xD.
Seriously? even in a virtual world, still exist rude people?

Ohh I think they exist...xD


My favorite piece of art without any doubts was this one: It's from someone call ''Cherry Manga''...I JUST LOVE IT! it's so fantastic, I would love to use this like a background for one of my mangas!, and it reminds me a movie call ''Dancing in the rain'', it's a musical.



DANCING IN THE RAIN (8)xD jajaja! I need to do it...
Seriously! x'D
I think learning how to make this 3D scultures would be useful for many reasons:

1.- Express you feelings and creativity with the rest of the world.
2.- Learn how to animate to make things at your own, maybe for a movie that become famous one day.
3.- Inspiration for your own creations (for me, use this like a background for one of my mangas xD)

Well, that's all for today, hope you like it. See you around.

Prefix and Suffix

So...Good evening ladies and gentleman addict to blogger.com, Welcome again to my humble blog about graphic designer and more, I need to update you about what's been going on this days...So, I'm going to make many cosplays for next month and I have a grupal cosplay for next year, which maybe my boyfriend will join me and some friends! HOW NICE~<333...Many works for University, and still in my job, I'm also going to learn Japanese next year, I'm so excited! <3, and still very tired...anyway, let's go to the thing that matters, today I'm going to talk you about Prefix and Suffix...So WHAT ARE THEY?

What is a suffix?

A suffix is a word ending. It is a group of letters you can add to the end of a root word*
e.g. walking, helpful

*A root word stands on its own as a word, but you can make new words from it by adding beginnings (prefixes) and endings (suffixes).
For example, 'comfort' is a root word. By adding the prefix 'dis' and the suffix 'able' you can make new words such as 'discomfort' and 'comfortable'.

What is a Prefix?

A prefix is a group of letters which you can add to the beginning of a root word* to change the meaning of the word. e.g. mis + fortune = misfortune

*A root word stands on its own as a word but you can make new words from it by adding beginnings (prefixes) and endings (suffixes).
For example, 'comfort' is a root word. By adding the prefix 'dis' and the suffix 'able' you can make new words such as 'discomfort' and 'comfortable'.


 So now we make that clear, we have also a game that my teacher put in her blog, I did great, until I reach the part of words with prefix and suffix at the same word x'D jajaja!, I need practice and learn morex3...So I let you the link if you want to practice :)


Information bring it to you from my english teacher Doris Molero,
If you want to play this game click HERE


That's all for today, See you next time, and remember:

"You're special in your own way, don't let anyone ever change that :)"

You also need to send it in a format that every computer can read. We all know that if you write anything in a word document, when you open it in a different one, it will become a mess. So it´s better to make it as an image and converted in a PDF file. You can also put it online on your web page.

How to use the English Dictionary

Good afternoon everyone,


Hope you're having a great time, in this review of my blog I suppose to bring you an article and show you how to use the english dictionary to define words. So...LET'S BEGING!!...


The article I brought you today, It's about Illustration, The definition of Illustation more precisely What it Illustration, What tools can you use to make an Illustration, use of it and programs...To read it, clic this link: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-digital-illustration.htm


Illustration it's the technique of using the computer and art software to create a brand new art. Generally you use editing softwares and image software to create a new art, that doesn't mean that manipulating an image with an editing software it's an illustration, if you thought that YOU WERE WRONG!, you're suppose to use the tools of a software to create your art, a new art that comes from your head. To make an illustration, artist generally use a Graphics Tablet or a Mouse. A Graphic Table it's precisely that, a tablet, where you can draw like you have a piece of paper and make your art and save it in the computer, those tablets includes a magnetic pencil. Some artist are more confortable to work with this tablets because it has a degree of flexibility and simplify the work, and others simply use the mouse.


This is the table I have, you can connect it to the computer,
in an USB port. It came with the magnetic pencil,
a base for the pencil, and some CD's of installation, including:
Photoimpact 12, Tablet Installation for MAC pc and Windows.


To work an illustration, you need to know how to work with vector-based and raster-based, for that, you can use the 2 softwares that are the most populars and effectives: Adobe Illustrator, Use by for professionals, this program works with vectors, and Adobe Photoshop, is commontly use it by illustrators and designers, with this program you can work raster-based pictures and edit backgrounds. With those programs you can work an illustration in every area you want, specially if you like to work with web designs or other graphic designs which are the more rich marketing to produce it.


Illustrator CS5 Logo. If you love making vectors and color your
draws with gradiant mesh, this is the software for you.
Adobe Photoshop CS 5 Logo. If you like, as much as I like,
manipulate pictures, gave them some grayscale or sepia effect, or
simply make draws and gave them some color, this is the program I recomment.
Every graphic designer have it as their bible xD.
Now that you read my summary, I'll teach you how to use the dictionary, on the left side of my blog I let some english dictionary that my teacher give me on class, you pick one, any of them and start seaching some words...let's use the merriam-webster and seach for this:

"An artist might use a graphics tablets or a mouse to create digital artwork."

An: Pronuntiation: \ən, an\. Indefinite Article.
Artist: Pronuntiation: \ˈär-tist\. Noun. One who professes and practices an imaginative art.

Interviewing a graphic designer

Good afternoon everybody! welcome again to my blog.
First, before we need to know what is the meaning of graphic design:

"The art or profession of using design elements (as typhography and images) to convey information or create an effect, also: a product of this art." - Merriam-Webster
"The practice or profession of designing print or electronic forms of visual information, as for an advertisement, publication, or website." - Your Dictionary

"Is a creative process – most often involving a client and a designer and usually completed in conjunction with producers of form (i.e., printers, programmers, signmakers, etc.) – undertaken in order to convey a specific message (or messages) to a targeted audience. The term "graphic design" can also refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines that focus on visual communication and presentation. [...]" - Wikipedia
So basically, we understand for graphic design:

"The art or profession of creating, imaging, visualize and communicate by using graphics or any other material to communicate a message in a very modern and innovate way." - Patz Elric.

Now that we now this, we can talk about what this post is about. Today we have a special review, I interview a graphic designer to tell us more about this career, his name is David Valbuena, better known at facebook as "Sasoriza Valbuena", I met him at Chibi Matsuri's anime convention and we have it know to talk to us.
1.- In your own words...what it's graphic design for you?
Graphic design it's nothing more that create, it's an idea transformed into a visual communication, in which us, as a graphic designers have the mission of representing by graphics an idea raised.
2.- What's your specialization area?
Printed matter and web designs.
3.- In which area you consider you're excellent and which one you consider need to get better?
I consider that I'm really good with photo montage, but I need to go deeper in the web pages area.
4.- How did you know you wanted to study graphic design?
I always knew it, It's my way to be, think and feel, because I came from a family who can be consider as an artistic one, for it's strong, his music, culture and design, I consider that my carrer is in my veins, I don't need any other motive to say that graphic design it's my perfect career to pick.

David Valbuena, you can contact him only making a click HERE.


5.- In which way you kept informed about the news of graphic designs?
My principal source of information it's the internet, it's one of the media more easiest to access and then get to know the advances of everyday.
6.- You consider that graphic design is a career of constant learning?
Yes, because everyday exist new ways and more versatile to express a simple idea.
7.- What's your opinion about people who disparage graphic design?
Actually none, because everyone have their point of view, applies that graphic design it's present in almost all our daily life, as a source of information to the men.
8.- Any advice for the people who what to learn graphic design?
Of course I do, have a lot of patience, because there are always people who criticize you and belittle our worksm that's why you need patience to stand critical comments and understanding to accept the positive ones.

Thanks, David "Sasoriza" Valbuena for this great oportunity to let us know me and the rest of the people what's your opinion as a professional of this wonderful career as is the graphic designer.
That's all for today, thanks for your attetion. If you like the post, you can leave me a comment below.

Introducing my best friend! :)

Hi people! what' up today?

I'm very happy, I have almost everything ready to go to Cabimas for my anime convention so...AGAIN! I'M HAPPY! :D...ok. ok. focus...back to the point xD

I've already introduce myself, now I have to introduce a friend, so ladys and gentleman may I present to you, my best friend Gabriel:


His name is Gabriel Flores, you can call him "Gordo Joe" (Fat Joe), We're friends since High School, He's 19 years old and it's from Maracaibo too. He studies Political Sciences and Municipal Administration and Management, and also writes for "W~Project" a blog dedicated to bring the newest information about anime. He's kind, fun, sarcastic, a good friend that always help you when you need it, good listener and really smart, BUT REALLY SMART! xD, in fact, he likes to tease me and make fun of me sometimes because I'm a little abscent-minded xD.


He's Gabriel. You can read his blog about opinion of
many themes: http://www.reflexionesbajotecho.blogspot.com/ 


He likes to play videogames, specially "Call Of Duty", he also likes to listening to music, his favorite band it's call "Your Favorite Martian", watch Ray William Johnson's show and The Alejandro Hernandez Show, anime and movies. He enjoys to edit videos, write articules and read thrillers and espionage.

He dislikes eating soup and oatmeal. He don't like to listen vallenato, Aventura and Reggeton. He can't stand alcohol in every form it has, annoying people, and when he's in a group and no one cooperate to finish it and give him all the work to do it for the next day.

His dream is become president one day! I'll vote for you my friend :)

He thinks that learning english is important for anyone, because at this time is the universal language at the moment to establish international relationships, and is a second language that is not less important for people to learn. He practice and learn english from school, university, encyclopedias and most of it...he learns that language from playing videogames x3, but he actually never when to a course (Centro electronico de Idiomas, CEVAZ, etc.). If he would like to learn it?, he says that every new knowledge is acceptable, and he would like to pulish his skills to speak and hear english.

Mind map of my friend. My photoshop fail, so the lines
are ugly :(, but still I like it the way I put his characteristic.
Well, know you know my best friend, hope you liked to meet him :)

See you next time, and remember:


"You're special in your own way, don't let anyone ever change it! :)"

My favorite color is pink, I like fashion, make-up, Decora and Gothic Lolitas too :). My favorite time period is the victorian, I love those long dresses with corsets, ribbons and laces <3.
I love travelling, cats and music in every languages, specially Japanese, Korean and English, I also like drawing, read and watch anime (Japanese Cartoons) and manga (Japanese Comics), I also like to wear Cosplays and go to conventions to take photos and buy some stuff. I love eating pizza, chocolates, sushi, hamburgers, fish,etc. I like to hang out with friends and of course my family, and surfing on the internet.  I love photography, I like to take thousands of photographs, I can take like 300 photos in 2 days (if is a convention, I can xD).



I hate Judgmental people, the hypocrisy, stupid comments, close minds, fights, wars, politics and racism. I can stand a person who smoke, specially because I'm an asthmatic and allergic person. I hate those kinds of people that is always telling you what to do, what to wear and how to be, READ THIS: I'm gonna be the person I WANT TO BE, you don't like it, too bad! :).

My dream it's visit Japan, at least once, it's a great country and the people it's just amazing with their advanced technology and their culture. I want to became a famous person who can do important things. I want to become a great cartoonist, specially a mangaka (people who draw mangas) or maybe work in a big important company, and what everyone wants in life, travel all around the world, meet everything and everybody, and then when I've known all, get marry and have a family :)<3.

I think English is an important language to learn because is universal, easy to learn and you can communicate with persons from all around the world, specially if they don't speak you own language.

Well I think that's all about me, Hope you like it, and always come by to see what I post, leave me a comment if you like my blog and give me a recommendation. Thank you all! :)

You're special in your own way, don't let anyone ever to change it!
