it's pissing me off how job postings put up "looking for graphic artists" and then the qualifications includes video editing, animation, 3D modeling, content creation, social media managing, and whatever the fuck else.
STOP MAKING ONE PEOPLE DO WORK MEANT FOR A FUCKING TEAM! ESPECIALLY IF THE SALARY IS BARELY ENOUGH FOR EVEN THE SUBSCRIPTIONS AND NECESSITIES! FOR FUCKS SAKE VALUE YOUR ARTISTS AND HIRE PROPERLY!
If you're an incoming freshman at Mapua University (both college and SHS), don't hesitate to send me a question here. I'm willing to answer! I'm currently a Multimedia Arts student here and I was also a senior high school student here :))
BONUS if your course is Multimedia Arts because that's my course as well ;)
Prelude to Branding: czarinartz’s Palette with Stories
This blog is about advertising my creative blog and to showcase what brand I will be doing, as well as the services, products and enterprises. This post will be my first blog and I hope you listen to my story of my first brand name. :D
Hello! I’m Diane, an MMA student who feels pain in her neck and shoulders nowadays and feels sleepy and hungry all the time. =.= hahaha xD Joking aside, I created a Facebook page named “czarinartz” which came from my second name ‘Czarina’ and added the word ‘artz’ or in simple words, arts. This page is the main topic of this blog which I will be promoting in order to gain followers who want to engage through my fb page where I will be posting the different artworks that I made. Let’s talk more about the main focus of my topic. :)
Specifically, the thing that I will tackle is my own brand name on my fb page and its purpose and impact on different social media platforms. I think the impact of creating a brand name and a page is to have more connections with other people, not only with fellow artists, but also for my target audience which is the people who likes art, an art which considered having a cute and soft theme, as well as fanarts of K-Pop idols/artists and anime characters. I would also like to add fanart of the movies/series that I have watched coz after I watched something, there is a feeling inside me that I become inspired of doing illustrations of them. ☆3☆ This will greatly showcase my talent in drawing and also, I like doing food illustrations because there are a variety of food drawing where I see on the internet that catches my attention which I wanted to do as well, so there will be times that my client will be a foodie or a person who loves food.
Next will be the product and services of my brand. In terms of product and services, I will be doing fb posts (since my page is a newbie page right now) that shows my OCs and other art contents like my old artworks, fanarts, requested arts and cute posts. I would also add traditional art since that style is where I started learning drawing and also my most dominant format of making artworks, that's why it will be a mix of digi and trad art or vice versa. There will be stickers and photocards in the near future using my OCs, other fanarts and food illustrations (Hoping to have enough budget for the materials xD). I still don’t have a printer to make stickers and photo cards, that’s why my starting point of selling is digital art for now.
Thus, creating a brand name for a page is really important since it will be an extra income for me because I am still a student – a broke student hahaha xD Anyway, it is fun having your own brand which also gives me happiness and a reason to move forward and improve my art in a very different way. I think that would be all for my story, so now, I will be plugging my art pages that are listed down below (I am not forcing you to follow my page, just follow what your heart says hehe xD). But honestly, it will be a huge help for me. Also, follow me here on Tumblr so that we can connect with each other. ;) ♡♡♡

the customary graduation message
everyone probably already knows i love to write but this gets pretty personal so i think it's better posted this way. to have drafted this message in my head during those short moments of reflection between final requirements for OJT, thesis, and graduation, and it's finally here. except that it wasn't accompanied by my face full of makeup and the smug smile that i was already practicing, it didn’t involve watching myself and my batchmates in academic regalia - nope - instead, a smartphone-taken grad photo on our stairway, with myself in the formal wear that i had defended my thesis with; then cheering at the TV as my classmates' names were called. with snarky unemployment and adulting teasings put aside by the existence of my stable freelance work, there were long moments at night in quiet personal reflection. for once, i deserved to celebrate myself and my achievements - cum laude with a GPA 3.425, graduated on time despite serious hesitations and near-giving up, and in the course and school that i never regretted taking - multimedia arts, de la salle-college of saint benilde. it's a celebration that, i realized, i didn't want adulterated by the pretentiousness of celebratory posts on Facebook. the people i wanted to thank are worth more than that, honestly! so yeah, if you've already gotten tired of reading that long paragraph of how happy i felt about my finishing college, i think you should stop. or you know, keep scanning and waiting for your name to pop up when i thank you. good luck.
(in no particular order.)
i'd like to thank the 10th floor lab staff who let me borrow headphones every day in my last terms, granting me 80% more focus as i crammed thesis and org work. i’d like to thank all the staff of the college for always ensuring we felt and were safe in campus. i'd like to thank my color theory prof who told me to keep learning even though i said i wanted to repeat his subject because i was unsatisfied with how i performed in it even though i LOVED his subject. i'd like to thank my thesis adviser, who made our topic and project work through thick and thin, panic and pandemic - who became my inspiration for considering to return and teach in the college.
i'd like to thank the acquaintances, friends, teachers, moderators, production staff and actors, schoolmates, classmates, and org mates who put up with my naivety, frankness, and attempts to be better; a higher gratitude goes to those who saw more than these small parts and still stayed. i'd like to thank those who saw more than a name, a title, and GPA, more than my course, my interests, or dreams.
i'd like to thank my numerous what-ifs for teaching me about love and self-worth, for reminding me what i deserved. i'd like to thank my first ex who introduced me to the student org where i met my real love. i'd like to thank my second ex who helped me in the said org for a time. and i'd like to thank my wub for being the first to warmly welcome me into the after-college freedom.
and in retrospect, i'd like to thank those whose impact on me started even before August 31, 2016: my senior high social studies teacher who shared how he strove "to be of contribution to people", my noli me tangere teacher who broke down what was expected of us youth, and my calculus teacher who persisted in teaching us her subject even though more than half of the pilot class (myself included) could only scrape passing marks. of these, my biggest thank you is to my first mentors in journalism and design, who endorsed me to my full college scholarship. and to the preschool teacher who told me that i "was highly addicted to the mess of the room" for making paper doll dresses in class: hallo, im cum laude now! *winks*
and of course, the greatest thank you to my family for always putting up with all my academic adventures, praying that things would always turn for the best.

everything in my college life was irreplaceable. no single social media caption or post can ever effectively summarize or celebrate it, but here was my attempt - i had prayed for experiences that would shape me to be the person He wanted me to be, and here i am now.
congratulations, batch 2020 graduates! we made it!!
some thoughts to share about being a multimedia artist
From the beginning, I knew that I would end up in arts one way or another.
I have dabbled and fell in love with science and literature and sociologies and other fields of study, but I never forsook art. They all have a space in my little fist-sized heart. Still, I want to live as an artist first before anything else not because it feels more important or it seems easier to an uninformed person but because being an artist is a dream. And a continuous one at that.
Jack of All Trades
Being a multimedia artist is being adept in many things. Within the name itself, multimedia, expresses the idea that I am an artist of many fields. As stated previously, I know a thing or two about dipping my toes in unknown waters. It is an exhilarating experience filled with adrenaline, expectations, and experiences. And with the many fields of art, I, for sure, am having and will continue to have these artistic adventures where I will continue to learn and adapt to the trends of art like leaf that follows the river current.
Master of None
A common misconception of being a multimedia artist is that we know the basics of everything but not more than enough of one thing. We are not here to diss on Fine Arts and the people who have mastered one thing. As artist, we should support fellow artists in their pursuit of art. I see being a multimedia artist as a modern-day strategy and lifestyle of an artist. With many ways of art popping out everywhere like mushrooms on the forest floor, learning the lot of those gives more job opportunities.
But Better than Master of One
It is not as though we do the multimedia part of it equally. Of course, one way or another, we will have our favorite(s) which we love or do better than the rest. It is just a matter of covering all our bases. In our eyes, we want to be the swiss knife of the art world. We are not saying that we will fight the knives and other tools out there. We just want to be useful and well-rounded.
Know Before You Go
At the end of the day, an artist is still an artist. Both bleed and put their souls into every of their works – like horcruxes but the less murder-y and more creative version of it). Efforts are put into our works and it is a legitimate career no matter how painful it is for us to hear otherwise. Hopefully, this sheds a light upon the darkened problem and misconception on us. Support the creatives and we will make the world a better place.

it is I who realize that i really should shift college course after i spoke with a classmate about batman x spiderman and the implications and i was left with silence or the fact that every project i cannot help but create lore for the client and now im way too invested in this two story duplex thats lived in by twins and their children and theyre second husbands who killed their first husbands and they dont know it and how they have a business where first twin is the face of negotiation while the other is the one who does paperwork and contracts and then how we are supposed to make a scale model and i want to make a cyberpunk dystopian city using staplewires and i already have the whole lore of how the city broke in half and only comes together every few years and the bridge is the only legal way to go from one city to another but the towers are hard to get into especially if your from the outher ring where the squatters live.
they dont get it, everyone in the class is too braindead and dont wanna have fun bout putting yourself in the clients place and going around what we designed. i wanna go where my people are.
and if those people just dresses up as i do everyday, are neurodivergent, gay and very into arts and internet. its.
much my fault i went and corporate when i died one term in. horrible horrible
