My name’s Gerardo but people call me…

Gerry Fonseca

Born in Mexico City, I came to Canada in 2018 to pursue my dream of studying Animation. And after a 4 year career in Digital and Traditional Animation I realized… It wasn’t for me. I still had a deep love for the art, but I wanted something that felt like my true passion. And after just a week of studying Advertising and Graphic Design, I realized they were for me. A place where I can make use of my love for surreal art and witty quips? SIGN ME IN!
Now I want to pursue my newly found passion and really make a huge impact in the industry. I always say that my head has waaaay too many thoughts, but people say that’s good for this career so there’s that!

BIG fan of colors, professional yapper.

Having studied Animation for 4 years has proved a huge asset in the ideation process of both the Copywriting and Design part of my career. I am quick with ideas, and can draw very accurate thumbnails in very short amounts of time, as well as having a clear visual in mind of what the end product will look like. I like to immerse myself in various different types of ‘target markets’ and daily study advertising of the day-to-day to try to deconstruct the dialogue that’s been set between creatives and an audience. I have written, directed and produced two animated shorts, I have written 4 fantasy novels in my spare time, and as an international student from Mexico, not only have I immersed myself in the pop culture of my two northern neighbors, but also strive to bring some of my own Mexican roots, colors and knowledge into my every work!

An alternative album cover I did as a school project was praised by my favorite band (yes, humble brag. Also, yes, they’re an indie band and not that famous but still… Peak designer moment)

I’m pretty good at these things

Or as the pro’s like to call them… ‘Skills’.
