Extra Credit 2 Agustin Garza


Agustin Garza born and raised in Mexico began his presentation with a video about his work, but what it left us was the experience he had and is going through today. His process as he explained was actually going out to the site where he was working if he could and experience the culture and feel of the area his projects were going to be in. Being from Mexico to moving to San Francisco to later going to Art Center, Garza has been on the track of experiencing new cultures and his surrounds,  Much of his work has lead him to work with hotels such as a grand hotels in Puerto Rico and even bigger cities such as Dubai.
   Garza also showed off his photography and how he treats every piece with detail. Each photo creates stories wheather it was photos of walls, lights, or aerial views. It was the stories that could be told from the photos that give off a strong message and leave a sense of wonder.              

Extra Credit one ED FELLA

Ed Fella is known for his graphic design work since the very beginning of his career. Fella spoke about many aspects of his life and how he came about his work through his doodles in his small notebook that he says he always came around. The idea of carrying that small notebook  made a lot of sense to him as he explained that at any moment, regardless if he was outside or inside he could put down his ideas on his next art project. Most of the art pieces he showed to the audiences such as the "Ford" car spread really put his work introspective as it showed his evolution from his early days to now with his distortion with characters and type.
   Fella continued to show his inspirations and for the most part it was regarding everyday life. Looking at his surroundings, and looking at how things were laid out helped him create his own twist to his projects which is what make him so unique.
