David Velasquez’s Profile
Hello Everyone. My name is David Velasquez. I’m a Student and a Mentor at New York City College of Technology. I have been majoring in Communication Design for 4 Years. The Career I wanted to do is illustration, whether it’s digital or pencil/ink or both since I like to do drawing and computer art. For example, doing sketches on paper and transforming it as a graphic on a computer. My goal was to showcase what I can do based on my techniques and my skills that I have and how this major can help me reach to the next level when it comes to improving or making my designs more better in order for me to understand the concept of designing and how would that lead to a future design job opportunity down the road.
My Courses
COMD3504 Communication Design Theory Goetz FA24
An in-depth introduction to communication design theory, this course examines theoretical perspectives of design practice within the larger discourse of design and visual culture. Communication models, the nature of representation, the dimensions of context, and semiotics are explored through critical readings in key documents from the early decades of the twentieth century to the present.
COMD3711 Vector Art Editing, Fall 2024
Students will learn advanced techniques for design, illustration, and production on the computer using vector graphics. Students are exposed to professional tools using software such as Adobe Illustrator on the Macintosh operating system.
COMD Communication Design Internship Coordination Site
This site is designed to help you find fieldwork/study situations of approximately eight hours per week at an internship site approved by the Department Internship instructor such as an advertising agency, graphic design firm, corporate design office, publications art department, photography or illustration studio, TV or multimedia production company. Students will be required to keep a learning journal of their internship in the form of a blog using Openlab. A portion of the class will be devoted to presenting and sharing experiences with classmates. Students will learn how to assess their talents, update their resume, and promote themselves and their work through social networks. Students will be required to setup and maintain at least two social media networks such as: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. The instructors for this class are there as mentors if you have not yet found an internship before registering for the course. However, the instructors do not find an internship placement for you. It is your responsibility to find a position that fits your personal career path and help you transition to full time employment upon leaving the halls of CityTech. Ideally, you will use this site to find an internship the semester before taking the COMD 4900 class.
Working independently, each student researches, conceptualizes and develops an in-depth project, across media channels, which uses design-thinking to address a contemporary issue. Students then work on a Senior Project proposal.
COMD3527 Advanced Typography, SP24
2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs Explores design and type sensibilities, challenging students to strengthen their creative and visual aesthetics. With emphasis on sensitivity to type, exercises integrate type within a variety of different mediums including page layouts as well as kinetic design. Prerequisite: COMD 1257
