Hello, I'm Alejandro Almodovar

Growing up I have lived in three different states; it was an interesting time for me being surrounded by different communities, meeting different people, and learning new things. I feel the same when I am either working on graphic design or drawing; two areas of art that I feel passionately about. I enjoy the challenge of taking a concept, idea, or message and figuring out how best to communicate that. Whether it is working solo or with a team, I find it exciting that there is always something to learn and to create as a student pursuing the fine arts.

Graphic Design Statement

As graphic designers, communication is the problem we all must solve. To me, good design is readable, intriguing, and fulfills a need. It is a method of learning and then reacting through visual elements. My process always begins with pencil on paper, the best way to start bringing an idea into reality. I enjoy the many ways design is used in corporate, environmental, publication, and web design, but illustration is what catches my eye the most. I find it fascinating when an illustrator takes an idea and figures out a way to create a stunning and creative interpretation that reflects their style. As I continue my studies in graphic design, I look forward to developing my style and honing my skills to best serve the needs of the community and the world beyond.
