Wow! the time flies! It seems like yesterday when I worked with Corel draw, yeap, it was my first program before Illustrator. Here are some samples from that time. This work was part of one workshop about taking care of the earth, the funny part is that I made around 10 or 12 illustrations and the rest of the group just 2 or 1. When they choose the illustrations for the next school calendar, they didn’t check the author, so, they chosen all my illustrations. I felt flattered about that, but when they realised it was all my work, they must to pick some other illustrations because the calendar was about the thoughts of the students, not about my unique – single thought. I guess they love my illustrations because I like the bright colors, maybe was that or maybe…. who knows…

Let’s do it! Let’s work together

Ok, Basically are 3 steps in the process of any project, it can be a logo, website, flyer, or any design or idea that you want to build and make it real.

Step 1: In this step I have to know what do you need? Is a logo? Website? What kind of website? do you want to redesign something? fix something?…. So, we have to talk about deadline, one week? 2 days? 1 month?…. Budget… I know is hard this topic but we have to talk about this… and any other question that you have….

We can talk via email, for some people is OK email, or we can take a coffee, Te or smoothie… I live in Vancouver, so, if you live outside you have to pay my transportation, I guess is fair… time is precious…

Step 2: After the nice conversation about your project, 3 ventis and 2 brownies. I start to build your idea. In this point I have all your notes and your instructions, if you want blue color, if you want a WordPress site or if you want the project for tomorrow. In this process my style, my ideas will be combine, mix, match with your ideas and we will create something awesome.

Step 3: This process is very important, because is the step where you have to work yourself and take your time to check and double check everything slowly. If you want to change any color? or now you have another idea? or you change your mind and now you understands that pink and green doesn’t look nice in you website… just remember…. if you have a lot of change of mind… this means will be extra fee for extra time and extra work…

When the project is ready, I pack the project, I get my cheque and you get your files. You are happy, I’m happy, we are happy! see! easy!

My four proposals for Vancouver Latin American Film Festival…. I was part of the final round or second round, I don’t remember, but they prefer to use a “toucan”, yeap! a bird! It was nice design tho, but the marketing team never use the original poster, they use the “concept” as tropical theme for the festival.
