VERONICA RAMOS

COLUMBIA COLLEGE CHICAGO

Hello! I’m Verónica Ramos. I’m a Venezuelan born and raised current Chicago-based graphic design student at Columbia College Chicago. I’m passionate about publication, brand identity, packaging, and all the things that influence everyday life and culture. I enjoy broadening my scope of knowledge to include historical, social, and philosophical perspectives onto my work, which I believe have helped me grow both personally and creatively.

Outside of my work or studies, I enjoy books, movies, and continue to explore the city I live in. I value collaboration, stepping out of my comfort zone, and continuous improvement, and always inspired by the people and world around me.

What first sparked your interest in graphic design?

The notion of language (both written and visual) as it relates to power, meaning, and belief systems; becoming a graphic designer and maker of meaning, with the responsibility that comes from it, allows me to engage in visual activism.

Tell us about a design project you’re most proud of. What made it special?

A poster design based on a research project about Barbara Kruger at the end of 2024 that reflected anti-feminist political discourse and criticism.

What does “good design” mean to you?

Thought-provoking, intentional, accessible — A composition that, through its elements, is capable  of not just retaining viewer attention, but also promotes thought and incites discourse.

What trends in graphic design excite you – or concern you – the most?

I’m always happy when I see maximalism having a comeback and continue to be wary of artificial intelligence.
