D Evolution of a Personal Identity

5/1/2017

A personal identity in art is meant to showcase people's personal traits, tools and assets. We as individuals have different taste, looks and feelings towards others artistic designs. It's an issue of philosophy we artist must figure out with our creativity and knowledge. This is where the creative process starts.

As an artist I like to look at myself as "different". My definition of different is taking the next step towards unique. It's a lesson I found to be a tad bit difficult but in this world challenges come around. I'm willing to take the challenges and learn through my steps to succeed.

It took me nearly 6 years to find a personal identity because I didn't want to create just a cool logo, I wanted to create a logo that would mean something. A logo that would describe my characteras a graphic designer. The understanding of a personal identity
logo is meant to showcase the meaning of creativity and technique through passion with
that I was able to successfully
find my personal identity.

For upcoming artists have fun creating your personal identities. Make it always about you
because you know yourself better than anyone else. Stay positive and creative.

Without any further ado I present to you 'D' Evolution of Derrick D. Aviles personal identity.

Square One

8/19/2013

Where do you start is the question? Well anywhere to be exact. I started designing when I was about 3 years
old drawing in my parent’s living room walls. Ever since that day I knew I wanted to be some kind of artist growing up.

Designing is an important part of history dating back to cave paintings, writing, books, maps and calligraphy. It expresses on what we see in our heads, which we can create visually for people to see around the world.

As an artist it’s always nice to think outside the box. Personally I like to be in my own comfort zone when I get things started. Being in a good state of mind brings the creativity out of anybody when it comes to designing and creating art.

When getting your ideas started always remember to start from scratch. For example if your looking to build and design a really awesome website draw out your template. Grab a piece of paper, notepad, or sketchpad and sketch up your concepts. No matter what level you’re in everyone starts from this process. Building and creating ideas helps the designer get a good sense on what your project should look like before designing it on the computer. Also another key thing to do is research. From the internet to the library you can find great resources of materials and things that will help you get started in your journey to become a great designer / artist.

One last important thing about being a designer is finding your identity. Basically it means what kind of designer are you? For example I like to describe myself as a hard nose hitting passionate creative beast meaning I’m a dedicated and motivated artist that simply loves to design. Generating energy in your design describes your personality within the style you create. It’s something everybody will remember you by.

Overall designing is just a huge process of planning, visualizing and creating. You’ll come across roadblocks during this time of process but remember to always be patient and positive. Once things start going keep the engine running because sooner or later you’ll find your way to success.

One of a Kind

10/6/2011

We've lost a visionary and creative genius in Mr. Steve Jobs.
This man truly was one of a kind and will never be forgotten.

What made this man such a successful genius was being himself.
He showed off his character and ideas for the world to see. Staying hungry and
staying foolish is what made Mr. Steve Jobs into a great successor in history.

He accomplished his dreams and never gave up. Truly an inspiration in my book.

I just want to say thank you for sharing your dreams with us and making
technology what it is today. May you rest in peace Mr. Steve Jobs. Goodbye.

Example of Awesome Printing!

11/16/2010

I was looking for some inspiration today and I came across this piece on DeviantART.
This print piece your looking at is called "Digital Greatness" designed by graphic designer LouieHitman.
To me this truly demonstrates technique and skills of an awesome print. The color scheme works well together,
the type is arranged perfectly, the style is urban (which I find to be cool), it's an eye catcher, and it's well organized.

I truly give Louiehitman his mad props because these type of print designs don't come easy. Great job!

The Original Super Mario Bros. Levels All In One?!

11/14/2010

Yes my friends it's true. A Super Mario Bros. self-made video game exclusively for the PC (Windows)
combined each level from the original Super Mario Bros 1 & 2 (The Lost Levels) into one giant 5 part
level platform which includes the castle, outworld, underworld, and underwater stages.

I couldn't believe it myself! A five part Super Bros. level?! This surely made me go into
an "ah" phase since I'm a big fan of the series. Anyways great job to whomever
worked on this project.

Check out the Youtube video below and enjoy! And too make sure to download and play
this game. It's actually fun until you run into the ship that shoots canon balls :(
