About Ana Gonzalez

¡Hola! I'm Ana, a Puerto Rican working as an art director in the lovely city of Boston. With me, it's all about the ideas. Yet, I also love pure, simple, breathtaking design. Colors and type design play an important part in my artwork pieces. If the idea is powerful enough you don't need to decorate it much. Being part of the Minted community is more than a blessing. You challenge yourself more and other designs inspire you every day. It is a very positive community, they want you to succeed.

Hi Ana, I noticed you are not on the designers Facebook page but there is currently a post about the first person to ever give feedback on your designs. It caused me to have a look and it turns out you were the first person to comment and it was on the first ever design I submitted so thank you! Having those early designs on display is a little cringe worthy but at least good for something!

Thanks for your comment on christmas pie chart. I see you're in advertising - art director? I used to be as well and am missing it a bit - thank goodness for minted. (I also miss having a writer to come up with clever and witty things to say on designs - took me a while to figure out what to put on that pie chart!!) you have a lot of really great designs here.

Thanks Ana - funny, I went out to shoot something for myself on Saturday and while walking back to my car, I spotted an old barber shop. I've got some shots with the owner in the window. I will have to let him know what I've done with the shots I took. Keep you posted.

thx ana! thx for tge feedback on Solid Chocolate Holiday! i agree! mentioned in description/tags how it could work for many occasions. it was tough to pick b/t hwn & easter for the submission, but b/c choc easter bunnies always have "solid choc" on the pkg of nicer ones (since they aren't hollow inside) so it made sense to enter it as easter. would be cool if there was a way to submit a design series in certain cases like this to show how you see the options working. the choc type is editable too, so it can say any msg, like a bride/grooms name for a save the date, etc! thx agn for your feedback!! :)
