Blog 7: Which expert in my field do I admire?

Imagen
Hi everyone, today I am going to talk about an industrial designer whom I admire and who made one of my favorite cars to date, his name is Walter de Silva. Walter de Silva is an Italian designer who is arguably one of the most influential designers today. He began his career in the late 80's at Fiat and then moved to Alfa Romeo where he left designs such as the 146, 156 and 147. With the turn of the century he was hired by SEAT and that has conditioned the rest of his career, because to this day he is still linked to the Volkswagen Group doing outstanding projects. After a while he settled at Audi where he designed one of my favorite cars, the Audi R8.    You could say that I admire this designer because he made many cars which I loved and are still my favorites. His designs are very varied, he can design a Hypercar or even a family car without problems and still keeping its essence.

Blog 6: How my career can make the world a better place

Hiiii, today I'm going to talk about how my career, design, can make the world a better place. In itself, a career in design has many branches and covers many topics so it can contribute in many ways to the world. I want to become an Industrial Designer and what I want to do to help the world is to design cars or some means of transportation that helps the environment such as a car that is electric but the batteries do not become toxic waste. I would also like to design something to help clean up the sea, something that would make the job much easier and make big companies stop dumping waste into the sea. I would like to become a person who can contribute something good to the environment, I like to create things but I would also like to be a person who can contribute with more than a grain of sand in the environment.

Blog 5: A photograph you like

Imagen
 Hello everyone, today I'm going to talk about my favorite photo. This picture was taken by my brother, it is of my cat named Panchito. The stuffed animal he has was his favorite, it's a pokemon called minun and he always slept with it. Panchito was a very different cat from all the others, he never meowed unless he was really bothered by something. I remember he would meow only when we were traveling, or he was in a lot of pain. The truth is that he was a very calm and affectionate cat, he never climbed on a table or broke anything. When we had lunch he would climb on a chair and watch us, but he never climbed on the table even if there was a lot of food on it. He weighed 7 kg, he was a giant cat hahaha. He died in July last year from a kidney stone, most cats are saved when this happens to them, but he was unlucky.

Blog 4: My favorite food

  Hi everyone, today I am going to talk about my favorite food. I have many favorite foods, so I'm going to talk a little bit about some of them. One of them is lasagna, this particular meal I like that has a lot of cheese in it. In my house we don't cook it much, I don't know the reason but when we do cook it I enjoy it too much. Another food that I like too much are the fast food burgers, I have eaten too many from different places but still my favorite are the ones from Carl's Jr. They have something that makes the burger very different from the others and does not make you want to eat more. And finally the french fries, especially the rustic french fries with garlic, cilantro and a paprika sauce with aji, it is very tasty and satisfies hunger.

Blog 3: My favorite piece of technology

Hi everyone! The computer is one of my favorite pieces of technology, I use it literally all day long to do everything. The computer is my favorite because I can do a lot of things on it, I can study, watch movies, talk to friends, play video games, etc. Since I was very little I have a computer in my hand because my dad and my brother are very involved in this world, thanks to them all these things I like too much. As I have been sitting in front of a computer for so many years I have learned many things and I can also spend many hours without feeling bad or something, I am so passionate about this world of computers that I got to build one and I have had it for two years now.  I would recommend everyone to have their own computer because it changes your life, makes you learn many things and also helps you to meet many people. 

Blog 2: My career

Hiii Today I am here to tell you about why I chose my career and what I wanted to study when I was younger.  When I was a kid I dreamed of being a race car driver, I remember I was so obsessed with it that I played with a box that had a car with doors and all those things drawn on it, so I would get inside the box and imagine I was driving a race car. When I was in high school that dream of being a racing driver fizzled and I was left with the idea of being a designer or 3D animator, I really liked the world of video games and character design or environment of these. But my parents didn't support me so much so I had to change my way of thinking. I started to look for something that would give me a future like the one they wanted for me, so I chose to study Architecture. When I was about to graduate from high school I had a crisis that made me doubt about the career I wanted to study, "Did I really want to study Architecture?", I really didn't want to study that, I di...
