READER’S LETTER
Reader’s letter Dear editor, I read your article about the importance of being honest and I completely disagree with your opinion. You said that working in front to the public, either writing articles or in front of a camera, you can’t be honest because if you do, your public will possibly kill you. In my opinion, being honest is the best quality for a journalist that wants to be credible, even if her or his public disagrees with his or her opinion . A journalist works to keep the world informed. And if his opinion or report is not clear and concise, and therefore honest, the opinion is worthless. To sum up, I think that being honest is essential to journalism, in order to be a credible and respected journalist.
.
Dear editor, Last week you published and article talking about the fashion industry and the pain it creates in society, especially in teenagers. I agree with you and I think we should fight against all these lies. Two years ago, I was working for the well-known Vogue Magazine. I have to say I disagreed in the way they worked. They didn’t want models wearing an S, they had to wear an XS. Because of this, I left my job as a photographer, I don’t think it’s ethical. To end, I want to warn people not to believe everything they read in the magazines, especially in fashion ones.
Dear editor, Totally disagree with the last week’s article: how to do a good film. You said: “ if you want to shoot a good film, you need a good camera”. In my opinion , the quality of the camera is not important in the final result of a film. If you have a good camera, the quality of the images will be better, yes, but the camera does not say how to film and you have to edit in the postproduction. To make a good movie, you need a camera (cheap or expensive), and the most important thing, open your mind to transmit your ideas into the camera.

Pilar is a 78 year old woman from Cerdanyola del Vallès, a village near Barcelona. When she was a child, she did not have the chance to go to school as other children because her family needed her to work for helping them with their expenses. Since she remembers, Pilar has always wanted to learn how to write and read. Now she’s 78 years old, her granddaughter has taught her to do it. But not in the traditional way. Pilar has learnt how to write by computer, without previous notions of writing. Dear Pilar, we’re glad to have you here with us. How does people call you? In my neighbourhood they call me modern granny. And why? Why do they call you that? Because I love modern stuff like surfing the internet, downloading files, watching streaming concerts... I love everything related with technologies. What do you like the most about new technologies? I really love to be able to contact with my family via internet. I remember when I was young and I wanted to communicate with my aunties who lived kilometers away from my home. I had to wake up early, take my donkey and start walking through difficult paths. Now it unthinkable to do things like that. Just by turning on my computer I am able to do this things and more. You said you do more things. What things do you like to do with your computer? ’ve started to follow some series like ‘Amar en

tiempos revueltos’ or ‘El tiempo entre costuras’, that I can’t see when they are issued on TV because they finish late night. I also like to send emails to my granddaughters to ask them how they are and whether they are coming home to lunch. I adore them! Have you learned to do all this on your own? No, my grandaughter teaches me a bit everyday. She lives with me at home and I every time she takes her computer to do things from university, I take advantage of it and I ask her everything I want to learn. Sometimes she tells me I’m a annoying, I know she’s kidding hahaha What do you want to say to all this people in same conditions like you? I want them to know that we’re still powerful, even more than we were yesterday because we are able to spend all our retired time learning something useful to make our brain work. Look at the ‘iaioflautes’, they are claiming for our right in front of the parliament every week. They want to change something and they’re going to get it soon.

Graphic Designer
By: Víctor Vidal Blandón

He is also an engineering student and when he is not studying, he is in the design studio in Barcelona, where he works. Hello Dani, it is a chance to have you here with us. So, tell us about your designer work. I’m a graphic designer. Basically my job consists in two important things: first of all, we should know what the customer wants to transmit to his or her public, and once we know that, we share it in the proper way being clear, brief and well looked. When did you start in this world of design? Two years ago, when I discovered the wonderful world of art and advertising. Do you think that new technologies have influenced the graphic design world? Yes, absolutely. Technology has allowed things that once required a lot of hours and hard work, to become easier and faster to do. Do you think that because of this new technologies, graphic design is even more in contact with the audiovisual world, with the creation of animations or 3D objects in films or short films? Of course, I think that in a few years you will need to have knowledge about the two disciplines Last, I go you see yourself involved into the audiovisual world in future? Yes!
