Kevin Aguirre
When I was just a teenager, the spirit of adventure and discovery led me to my passionate pursuit of Digital media. Digital media is a way to share my unique insight into the world in a more tangible medium. My experience with the world and its people has allowed me to boldly approach any moment with a curious and analytical perspective while exploring more of what may lie beneath the surface. My Digital artwork is an extension of who I am - and I attempt to capture the fleeting nature of the moments that encompass life while being conscious of all the hidden aspects surrounding it. The facet of artistry that reveals itself in design, videography, and photography keeps me open to whatever life offers and shares it with the rest of the world.

Digifest Invitation Cards
In this project, we were asked to work with a group, research, and develop a concept for a Digifest invitation. It was a great project since we got to implement many skills we have learned in previous classes, such as data segmentation, Researching a concept for the design, and thinking of the guest coming into the event. For data segmentation, Our primary focus was to attract as many specific people as possible to events who will be interested in coming. Our team member Simon volunteered to search for businesses 30 miles from the digest event address and filter the companies to fit our target market. The visual is going to show the student being part of a honeycomb. The Honeycomb represents Bees who live in hives with clear social organization, and we also got inspired by the James Webb telescope panels looking for further opportunities.
Selected Projects
LOGO DEVELOPMENT
Learning from the digital media program, I started to do my side business with different companies. I was building their brands and redesigning logos. I was motivated by Dr. Waite to start my own business and apply my skills to learn to work with an actual client and have confidence that my work does make an impact. The first company I worked with was a pulmonary and sleep clinic that hired me as their digital media coordinator. They asked if I could redesign their services because they recently added pulmonary. The second company was a botox company that I helped make and also designed their website. If you like to learn about the companies, you can click below.
Photography
After taking a photography class offered by the digital media program, I decided to implement my skill into work. I quickly learned that it is more than just taking pictures. I gain many skills working with different types of events and clients. This helps me be more flexible with clients and understand their vision.

Vela, Janelle:Data Dase Research And Market Research
My team and I started a startup company and joined a Pitch madness competition in 2019. We created Plug, an app to request substitutes on demand for industries with high turnover rates. We also joined Redlabs, a startup accelerator and technology entrepreneurship program at the University of Houston. The reason that this is important is that this influenced me to pivot to digital media. This program only showed the business aspect of a startup, but I had to learn digital media on the side, which led me to understand how to connect digital media skills to business growth.
