![]() ![]() Comedy is just a tool to talk about something very serious but in a way that translates better to other people. I use comedy to talk about something I really believe in. But even in jokes, there is usually a serious meaning behind them. I try to be clear, but I think the audience is really smart, I trust the audience. But generally, I leave it to the audience to decide what tone my messages have. Sometimes I say when a message is serious. I can say that in my comics - some are serious, and some are totally sarcastic - you can see that I am joking. How do you navigate the balance between being funny and sending across a powerful message to your audience, so that people can take you seriously? from Pablo Stanley on Dribble You are surely loved for your daring and funny artwork, and your name is well known in the design community. So, some agencies seem to have adapted, but students coming out of school don’t seem to be prepared adequately, which I think is sad. However, I can see that the design scene is pretty advanced in Mexico City they have many studios that have an agency working digitally with e-commerce and digital design. This one of the challenges I see, specifically in Baja California. I have seen people take that jump from advertising into digital product design. The skills they have translate very well to digital products. These students have all the skills needed, they understand visuals, digital language, composition, and they understand how to communicate a message. Sadly, I see that very few schools have updated their syllabus to teach their students about usability, user experience, UI’s, etc, because they see that as something that is not part of their job. But today everything is digital! I think these subjects should be taught together, to prepare people for the design they will find in the real world, which is surely going to have a digital presence. Branding and Marketing is also separated from digital design. I can also see this mindset to be applied to schools they separate Arts from digital design. They should think more digitally in my opinion. They seem really limited and stuck in the past, they still think only in prints and posters or ads in magazines and newspapers. I’m now talking to some people in the design community here, and I feel that it’s hard to present the American design world or the UX design world to people here. I recently came back to Mexico after spending 17 years in the United States. From Alamy How does the Mexican design scene compare to the American one? It isn’t necessarily that different, but it has a few singularities. The visual style is “out there”, creative and colourful. Mexico City is one of the most beautiful cities in the world - it’s so rich in culture and art that it’s impossible not to get inspired by being there. I can talk about Mexico, in particular Baja California, since it’s the one I know best. But what I can tell you is that there is a lot of talent there. Even the ways in which they use the language - Spanish- is different, and some people in the community even speak Portuguese. It’s hard to generalise Latinx, it encompasses a lot of different Countries, a lot of different cultures. How can you describe the Latinx design community? Pablo Stanley You know both the US design scene and the Latinx one. We also explored how he designs for important matters such as accessibility and inclusiveness while maintaining a humorous and light approach. With Pablo, we learned more about Latinx design and, more specifically, the design scene in Mexico. Pablo is also know for hosting a design podcast in Spanish and for being the founder of Latinx Who Design, a living directory of talented Latinxs in the design industry. His silly comics andcolorful illustrations, combined with the series of YouTube design tutorials called Sketch Together, make him a uniquely talented designer. Pablo Stanley, originally from Mexico, is Design Lead at Invision and co-founder of Carbon Health, a tech-enabled healthcare provider created to make healthcare simpler. ![]()
