Flyers

I have created these flyers for their events as well.

Screenprinting & Embroidery Experience

My first official graphic designer job was at a small screenprinting and embroidery shop in Imperial Beach, CA. Were I learned various techniques of application for garments and uniforms, as well as designing with color separation in mind. My creativity eye was trained to design quickly; I handled from 4-6 projects a day from different clients to advance in the first stage of their ordering process. Sometimes I met with clients to talk about their ideas in their possible design. I started as the company's graphic designer apprentice and a couple of months later I got my own accounts.

PR / Media Member of the Media Arts Center
In summer 2012 I started an internship in the Media Arts Center. Where we hosted the 18th annual LATINO FILM FESTIVAL  some of my duties were to promote and assist all the media matching up special guests with media representatives to ensure festival media coverage; assisting with press conferences; assisting with Q&A sessions; festival and after-party media registration; plus other pr/media incidentals that may arise.I met and had some chats with some film directors that inspired me to keep living my career dreams.

Tutoring and Graphic Design Intern at the Photography Department at Southwestern Community College
My second internship last year was one of my favorites. I was responsible for assisting students in digital media within the variety of classes in the Photography Department  of Southwestern Community College. I assist students to print in large formats and scanning needs, as well as any aid in graphic and web software. My second job is to re-design some graphics of the website.

YOUTUBE CHANNELS

This is the timeline of a project that I started 4 years ago.
It evolved from one idea to the recent one that was actually selected for production and is currently in it's post-production phase. But I wanted to portray an example of how it evolved to what it is today.



ALEATORIO TV This is the initial idea where I figure out the base of the whole project, I made a programing with different sections and wanted to transfer it as youtube videos. I used a flash content template to capture the essence.


Bilingual Channel
BAJAN EN LA ESQUINA! 
Our target audience were local Latinos in Tijuana and San Diego interested in the LGBTTI community. It's main purpose is to portrayed a six segment series of videos that show locals where to go out, sketches,tutorials, art recommendations,and LGBTTI education.
I made up a first sketch of the logo since the red trolley is an icon of migration from San Diego Downtown to the Tijuana border.
'Bajan en la esquina' is a typical saying for some one traveling on a bus in Tijuana that wants to get out on the next stop. The starting website had the same concept as Aleatorio TV it was made in blogger.

LAS VENIDAS DE ABAJO 

The final product were we only focus on a smaller target audience. The Latina LGBTTI comunity.


The concept is simpler in it's context but more developed in it's entire production and content.
The grungy design is inspired by the 90's riot girrrl movement. This final project is about to be launched in fall 2013. 

I took on this project more seriously since I made it my internship this 2013 in my CIS 290 class were I input more than 300 hours. I'm very proud of this whole project since this is where I can grow in all aspects of production, design and marketing.

I've been a videographer for 7 years in this company and for this project I was asked to -recreate and promote a photography and video event business in San Diego, CA. The business lack of a strong online image and promotion. Our main strategy was to change the business name to gain more popularity by using it's more powerful keywords : San Diego, Video and Photography. We started by creating a website and promoting the business in different directories such as google places, yelp, and social media.

Using SEO techniques we have been striving to create a fast search and clean design for this emerging business of media for events.

I started by creating a basic package of branding, creating their logo and a small blog site of information and contact. Since this business has a large amount of Latino speaking clients, it was created in two versions.

CLUB WEB

I'm 2012 I was a member of Club Web and were I design graphics and promotional propaganda.

This poster was for a bake sale fund raiser.
Since the theme was breakfast items.
I thought of re-creating the mood of the story by Dr. Seuss 'Green eggs and ham' but changing them to regular egg color.

I used the same font originally used for some of the books.

This flyer was made for the club fair to reclute new members
I used an iPhone since it reflects love for technology and to inspire others to use the tools we use at the club to create all types of graphics as well.
The drawing is one of my characters from a comic I'm working on.

I made these graphic options for future iconic reference to the club.
