Picture 3
I’m going to be at a portfolio showcase my school puts on for its graduates. If you can be there I’m the tall, chubby, with a heavy beard Mexican. It’s going to be:
September 24th,  11am-2pm
@ WonderHaus
171 14th street, SD,CA.

I’m also developing my very first typeface, the image on top are just some of the letter sketches, I hope to have a little more refine version of it to present at the portfolio showcase.

Hello

My first post… The blog is named Gallo Valiente, it translates to Brave Rooster. Why rooster? well, it’s one of the many nicknames I have and it’s the one the fits me the most. Notably because I won’t back down without a fight, not a physical one but ideally, and I am a little stubborn but I’m sure that is not the reason I was given that nickname by my friend. My real name is Christian Castañeda, a young graphic designer that lives in San Diego, California. Yeah I live less than 5 minutes away from the beach but I rarely go and not to the one closest to my home. I love typography, branding, editorial design, and illustration. Besides graphic design I have a passion for music. If someone reads this well, don’t hesitate to contact me either for anything work related or just because you want to become my friend =).  Here is my email: christian.jc@live.com & my msn: christianc808@live.com
