CREATIVE NAZIR VASQUEZ

March 1, 2025

Nazir Vasquez is a Junior civil engineering major with a passion for graphic design. Below is an interview held with Nazir to learn all about his graphic design process throughout the years 

How did you get into graphic design?

I have been drawing since I was little and then my uncle introduced me to the software that I use, and I have been doing it ever since. Which is about three years now that I have been doing it. I use Infinity design; I like it better than illustrator.

​

Did you start out with art first?

I tried to get into painting, but it didn’t work out for me. That’s why I like graphic design. It really all depends on what I see. 

​

What is your process?

I draw everything from scratch

​

What is your favorite art style?

I don’t really have one, I’d say the main would be graffiti, but it all just depends on what I draw 

​

What is your favorite cartoon inspiration?

I use this as an escape from everything else cause you know how college students are with stress and anxiety, all that. I use that to cope with it. Especially as an engineering major, you have to find time to relax and rest.

​

What are your hopes with graphic design?

I own a business for my graphic design, which I intend to keep doing

​

How did you start the process for your business?

I showed my uncle what I could with the software that he showed me and he then came up with the idea for me to have my own business for it. My uncle is an entrepreneur, so he gets into all that and he helped me with all that. He built the website and took the pictures for it, and that’s how it started.

​

How can people contact you for graphic design?

I have an Instagram page, Facebook page, and they can contact me on my website.

​

Favorite type of graphic to make?

I don’t really have one. I just like to draw. I do a lot of graffiti name tags, custom drawings for people I just love to draw.
