E-Blog9: Effects of Social Media



Social media, like the internet and computer, is probably one of the greatest innovation of the century. Human beings are social beings which means that every wants to communicate or socialize with each other. That socialization now is even faster with only just a click of a button.

As an artist, it is important to know and understand the effects of social media because almost everything revolves around social media these days; may it be from new celebrity gossips, brand new fashion trends, go-to-destinations and so much more. In the list, you may also include the artworks that can be viewed in social media and lots more people can have a chance to see it, even those people from the other side of the globe. As everything is rapidly changing and evolving these days, so shall be the art that every artist makes. The artists must also develop or catch up their techniques, styles, themes, concepts to accommodate the modernity which we all face. Not everyone appreciates art, especially if it is strangely looking for them or it does not suit their views or culture or what have you. It is of great importance to know this to appeal to the audience immensely and to be sensitive of their views, opinions, thoughts and culture. One move, either great or bad, can create a buzz in the social media world. It could be viral for the best or unfortunately, for the worse.  As an artist, it is safe to always be aware, safe and to always innovate.

“Everything is design. Everything!”

Wherever you may go and whatever you may see, design will always be there. May it be from posters, walls, tables, chairs, mugs, chandeliers, banners, phones, computers, shoes, clothes and the list go on but the mere fact stays that everything is designed. If you want something done for your product, service, brand or business, then the best approach would be to find a designer because they are the ones who design everything that you can see. I, as a designer, focused my craft majorly in logo design and graphic design. I just find it more into what I can and want to do, that even the software I use to create these designs are also akin to my skills.

Math is easy. Design is hard.

You read it right. Math is easy and design is hard. Most people would argue with this quote because they would say that Math is definitely harder but for most cases, these are the exact people who haven’t tried out to design just yet. Like Math, Design needs to be learned in a span of a long time. It takes a lot of focus, skill, patience and ideas. This is where designers come into place. They’re the best at that because they already have the attributes needed to design. Not only do they have the skills but more importantly, they just have their heart and soul into it.

E-Blog 02: "Ang Probinsyano" vs PNP

We recently discussed the dispute between “Ang Probinsyano” and the Philippine National Police. We had to pick out our partners and we had to choose which side we’re on. Well, before picking any side, my partner and I had to first watch the video regarding the said dispute because we have no idea what is happening between them. That may be because we don’t watch the TV series, or the news nor do we care about such matters, frankly speaking. After knowing about it, that’s the only time we were able to pick sides. Individually, we gathered 3 important pieces of evidence that would support our claim. Later on, we discussed it with our partners then compiled our works into a single Powerpoint presentation.  Afterwards, the class was divided into two: those which sided with “Ang Probinsyano” and those with the PNP. We had to write in the board all the things that made our claim right and as well, writing those which would make the opposing side wrong. After such, our teacher, being on ...
