So Graphic design is younger than the world's oldest person

This career started up back in Europe and is pretty young. Some people think of designers as glorified cartoonist of something like that.

Personally I hate that thought but hey at least theres something that can be done about it.

So theres also this big issue, about how new design is, most people cannot interact with a designer easily, specially those who have never needed one.

Thats why I`m giving these talks in Acorvol, this place is the central hub of non profit organizations in Guayaquil and they accept chats from time to time.

Here I teach them about the history of design, the things they need to ask to get a good work done and finally how to come up with a nice briefing.

First thing I tell them is that Im a 4th semester student (honesty is the key) and sharing the things I learned in UCG to an older generation feels great, they provide me with incredible feedback and talk to me about the recklesness of youth.

So overall I learn from them and they learn from me, sadly I admit that I learn more from them than they do from me, dont blame they have lived at least 3 times more than me.



That guy in the sharp suit is me, speaking about the Bauhaus in the first class, I gotta admit that rocking out a suit is pretty awesome I don't get why most creatives go to work dressed like they are assisting woodstock.
