Most of the time I meet new people, I get asked the same question, ‘What is it that you do?’ which does not bother me in any way; on the contrary, it is an opportunity to expand the conversation and share why a creative consultant is an essential partner for businesses and organizations. With many job titles in the creative and tech industry, I understand; it can be challenging to comprehend what a person does. Rock Star Designer? Pixel Ninja? Creative Consultant? LOL! Yes, I know, our little ego—we love to sound and look different, but we also are passionate about making a difference!
I had a great time talking with Darrell White from Carte Blanche Media. We talked about my experience as a creative consultant, my favorite design book, and podcasts, among other things! Check the video below, like, and share!
I’ll be lying if I said I do not have mixed feelings about Ai art generator Midjourney. Last month I experienced Midjourney for the first time, which was quite interesting and scary. As I mentioned in my previous post, it was an amazing-threatening-scary experience. It’ll be interesting to hear what are the founders’ thoughts and the direction they want to take with this project. I suppose they are trying to feed the machine and learn more about how people use Midjourney to explore creativity for now, or who knows…
Even with mixed feelings, I think it is a great technology that will help creatives reduce production time in some areas of design/creativity, allowing creatives have more time to do what they love. However, although Ai art generators may help creatives or anybody to create concepts in a few seconds using only text prompts, I think it is important not to forget about nurturing creativity as humans.
Today we’d like to introduce you to Omar Rodríguez Villa.
Omar, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today? SINGULARBOLD. started in 2015 as a pseudo name I used to publish personal design projects I was creating outside of my regular design job. My intention was to experiment with new design techniques and tools in order to learn and explore new design concepts. I published the results of my experiments on my website and social media. After a year of doing personal work, I began to take on commercial work for local businesses in Tucson, AZ, where I was living at that time. I decided to develop the name SINGULARBOLD. into my personal brand, which I use to do commercial design work and collaborations with other designers.
