1 - Introduce yourself:
My name is Cristian Rivas, a mexican art director with a great passion to see, tell and share stories, especially if they are audiovisual produced.
I have always believed that knowledge and ideas should be expanded and shared with everyone because we do not own them, they were born to be told.
I like contrasting colors, simple shapes, mezcal, beer, pizza, and tacos. Inspiration comes from everywhere and at all times.
2 - Which artists inspire you and why?
One of the main artists who have inspired me from the first moment I saw an art of his was Fraser Davidson, his colors and way of communicating ideas is excellent.
The artist who has always blown my mind has been Grand Chamaco, from his use of forms, how he interprets 3D and the range of colors he uses.
I consider myself a great follower of Zigor Samaniego because it has reached very outstanding levels with its way of creating pieces for brands and its own content.
Finally, Aaron Martínez and Rodrigo Miguel (Numecaniq) who have taught me a lot of what I know because thanks to their classes I learned incredible things.

3 - What’s the most important thing to know about you? (3 most important things, not necessarily related to work)
Commitment. I am one of the people who, when there is something that interests them, agrees to give 100, not only in a job, but in whatever they do.
Curiosity. I am usually looking for what things mean or how they are done in order to give my opinion or carry things out.
Music lover. I really like music in general, all the time I am listening to something of any rhythm or style, while transmitting something to me.

4 - What qualities and skills should a designer have?
A good design, primarily must communicate something, the message of the same must be included in the art, better if a text is not used, it must include a harmonic composition in terms of shapes and color, for me, an extremely important aspect is the color, I pay a lot of attention to that the colors have coherence.

5 - What are you most proud of?
I am proud to always be able to collaborate with people in other parts of the world, that the things that one can achieve to do are accessible to all and understandable to many people.
I really like knowing that people take the content I make well and that they like it, but I like it better when I can include friends in the realization of projects.

6 - What advice would you give for a young designer?
Not only for young people, but for everyone, I would like to tell you that learning, knowledge and inspiration are everywhere and we cannot stop learning, even though we already know how to do something from 0 to 100 it is always recommended and incredible to look for different ways of doing things. Open the spectrum of our creations and inform us and get involved with new techniques, technologies and processes.
Learning is always the option.
