Thanks a lot for visiting my website. Here is some information about me, my website and my professional work.
Who I am, where I come from, where I am going
My name is Gerardo Díaz Ramos, I'm 27 years old and I have a Graphic Designer's degree from the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), in México. I've done most of my studies and work on this city as well, Puebla, where I was born.
Besides my design studies, I've done a technical music career on the same school, and also about eight years of illustration and plastic expression workshops with professor Raúl Luna Estrada and plastic artist Fidel García.
As of now I'm doing a master's degree in Marketing and Business management on the Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP) so I can expand my view and offer a better, more complete service.
What I do
I usually offer design solutions to whoever contracts my services. This solutions are generally for graphic identity, advertising, editorial and web design; wich can be completed with work in photography and/or illustration.
I also develop and participate in some personal and group projects on the cultural, entertainment, education ad graphic expression areas.
Besides working independently, I also colaborate with colleges and other design firms to complement in which ever task that require my skillset. One of the design firms that i'm sporadically colaborating with is the mexican group Modulor, and I've also participated along with Victor Castrejón Hampshire and the design firm Redesign on the design part of comercial projects.
How I work
My modus operandi varies and adapts with each client and project as it's needed. However we could say that there are some constants.
Lets asume you are my client...
- A little chat - To get to know you and what are your real design necesities.
- Research - Because it is vital to have specific data and knowledge for the project and the enviropment in wich it will be developed, like competition, aliances, budgets, and so on, to make a good work.
- Design of proposals - Usually two or three so you can have where to pick a favorite.
- Details, details - Some times the longest part of all, because once we have a favorite design we still need to polish it and make it nice and pretty (and functional) for you and your clients.
Once we're done with all this steps you will have a design ready to leave the nest.
