Hello! My name is Jacqueline Vigil and I am a cheerful designer from El Paso, Texas. I majored in Communication Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design at Otis College of Art and Design. My focus lies in print/publication, illustration, and printmaking. I am constantly exploring new creative outlets and hope to someday own an apparel and stationery goods brand that spreads cheerful and positive messages to women. As I enter the design world, I want to find work in print/publication and editorial illustration. I am a designer who loves to use color, a team player, and I strive to bring the client’s vision to life.

I am a Mexican American Graphic Designer and creator. I grew up in El Paso, Texas a border city that is south to Ciudad Juárez, a city in Mexico. Despite being around a mainly Hispanic community, I never learned Spanish. Not knowing Spanish has often left me in this feeling of not being Mexican enough. I desire to connect to a side of myself that I don’t fully understand but I am still proud of it. Through design, image-making, and researching content I was able to curate and design a publication titled “Mexi Ameri Can” that shares personal stories of my experiences growing up as a Mexican American and also sharing the experiences of other Mexican Americans.
 

I created this poster for my Systems & Identities class at Otis College. This poster explores composition, image-making techniques like collaging and blending techniques, and the use of textures.

The publication had articles I curated from the Internet that gave information about Drag queens and the different styles of drag, I also include a RuPaul Charles song throughout the book.
