We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Gabriela Delgado about their original and creative Visual Art design work. Gabriela Delgado is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original visual art works.
Gabriela Delgado ("GD") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Scarlet Ibis Visual Art. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
GD : Show the beauty of our tropical fauna. The main idea was to create a colorful visual history of the Scarlet Ibis in different scenarios related to the beautiful habitat where these birds remain brightening the landscape on the beaches of Puerto La Cruz.
GD : The design aims to highlight the beauty of the bird, focusing on its graceful movements and vibrant color with the intention of provide a fresh and unique wildlife image of my region.
GD : I still have no future plans for this design, but I would like that this art reaches many viewers, especially to all animal lovers and nature protectors.
GD : I can develop a concept like this in two weeks, but this design took about two months due to prior commitments.
GD : Both. At first, this design was commissioned by a travel agency in Puerto La Cruz where these birds are very common. I fell in love with the end result that served as inspiration to develop the rest of this set.
GD : A design was performed especially for a travel agency, the rest of the images are a personal production derived from the generator concept.
GD : My passion for nature and art, my admiration for the natural beauty of my country, my love and respect for life, my call for protection of animal life.
GD : I think I have a style and a personal way to shape my perceptions almost always in a fun and colorful way; in a elegant and serene manner, but I can say my work has some influence of the French painter Henri Rousseau one of the leading representatives of Naive Art.
GD : For all type of audiences including children and nature lovers.
GD : The design itself is unique because it comes from my imagination, this is my creation brought to reality with my techniques, colors and style.
GD : It is the name of the bird which is the focal design point.
GD : This design was made entirely in Adobe Illustrator
GD : I think the harmony between the all elements of design. Vegetation, color and flowers are the particular strengths that adorn this project.
GD : No, the work was conceived and created entirely by me
GD : It is of utmost importance. Currently applications such as Adobe Illustrator improve every day providing an optimal design development, on the other hand, the Mac technology not only puts the tools at my disposal, the operating system makes the workspace be comfortable and easy to use.
GD : Absolutely yes! The research and observation of these birds in their habitat was very important to know characteristics and behavior using so common tools such as notes, photographs and sketches.
GD : Bring to the design the result of research; try to create movement in the flight and achieve the saturated color of this bird.
GD : I like challenges and I believe in my work
GD : I learned new techniques and knowledge. I think every project is a unique experience for the designer who truly enjoys their work, each project is a challenge, an opportunity to grow, to overcome difficulties, to develop skills and definitely to carry you to want to be better and better.
