PATO DIAZ DIGITAL ART
FROM DIGITAL TO PRINT
DIGITAL ART
"Photo-Illustration", as I call this ancient technique, a project digitizing images, to later transform it and apply visual effects where the shape and color can be appreciated, it is a contemporary pointillism where it shows us an antagonism between the forces of forms, reality and abstraction, where imagination plays a very important role.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
I am a passionate graphic designer. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and worked for more than 25 years in New York City as a print production artist, graphic and web designer in Advertising, Pharmaceutical, publishing, financial, Branding and more. I can come up with a unique design or bring to life work from conceptualization.
ILLUSTRATIONS
I usually work with one single artboard that has the same proportions as the required image. First layer: guides & color background. Second layer: basic structure. Color palette. Tweaking the shapes. Polishing the illustration: trial and error previews. Final image. The illustration is good for printing, embroidering, silkscreen, 3d printing and laser cutting.
WHO AM I. WHAT I DO
My name is Patricio Diaz, Chilean born but American and Costa Rican by heart. More than a graphic designer I consider myself an artist, a creative soul. I thank god for inspiring me in everything I do.
