Rolando Castillo

Rolando Castillo became very engaged when he realized Graphic Design learning was for a lifetime.

ARTCENTER COLLEGE OF DESIGN

Early in life my uncle suggested that I look into Graphic Design as a potential career. I had no idea what Graphic Design was but a seed was planted. In my teens I drew graffiti letters in a sketch book while listening to independent hip-hop music. Lately I have been seeing the spirit of graffiti mesh with the love of typography and it makes me feel at home. My love of letters continues. I investigated what Graphic Design was at Los Angeles Trade Technical College and I learned how to use Adobe Illustrator. I became well trained on the production side of the trade and started taking ArtCenter night courses to learn more about typography. I became very engaged because I realized I could continue learning what Graphic Design was for a lifetime.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN AND WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW?

I was born and raised in Glendale CA and I still live here.

FAVORITE MOVIE, TV SHOW, BOOK, AND/OR PODCAST?

Kung Fu Hustle, 3rd Rock from the Sun, The Voice of Knowledge and Congratulations.

IF YOU COULD BE REMEMBERED FOR ONE THING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

If I could be remembered for one thing I hope it would be for something kind. People mean a lot to me. There have been many kind words and actions people shared with me that moved and inspired me. I would hope that I have done or said something that was kind to someone when they really needed it.
