Anna Salazar '11 (Art) is passionate about design. She even started her namesake company - Anna Salazar Designs - almost a year before her graduation from Cal State East Bay.
“I specialize in print, layout, packaging, branding, and web design,” said Salazar. “My dream as a designer is to create art that has a positive impact in society …”
She just finished a labor intensive project creating a campus map for ASI, Inc. “The main objective was to emphasize and locate ASI offices and areas where ASI-related events take place,” she explained. Photos of the map’s creation are posted on her personal .
In addition to the campus map, she also designed the CLASS arts calendar for the 2010-2011 season and redesigned a for food personality Sonia Hunt. These designs as well as many others are on her company Web site.
“I believe that art is a huge influence of a person's life and can be used as a powerful medium to bring people of all cultures together,” said Salazar. She should understand diverse culture since Salazar was born in Los Angeles to a Chilean and Filipino family. “At the age of one, my family moved to São Paulo, Brazil, where I was raised,” she said. At the age of sixteen, she returned to the United States to attend high school and college.
Good luck, Anna! You’re off to a great start.
