I had the opportunity that Camilo Cornejo was my teacher of design aesthetics at Unitec, in that matter I saw the passion and dedication that this teacher has towards design but something more important is the passion he has to teach, since in my case the achievement change my way of seeing things, in this matter I learned that there are different aesthetics and different points of view that depend on context, time, culture, beliefs, values, among other factors. A great tool was the book The history of the ugliness of Umberto Eco where through history shows us the different canons of ugliness, thanks to this I can say that something aesthetic does not have to be exclusively something beautiful because in ugliness there is also esthetic. I am very grateful to have this level of people and professionals as teachers because I know that this nurtures my career as a graphic designer and also my values ​​as a person.

I appreciate Master Camilo for his work as a teacher, I have contributed in my training as a professional, I also thank him for making me understand that aesthetics is found in all corners of the universe, whether it is beautiful or not, thanks to this I was able to find a synergy between aesthetics and design.
I love his methodologies with which he teaches at the university, as a student I am fully satisfied by his work, by his enthusiasm and the passion that puts him to the challenge he undertakes.

Good publication, I hope to read a new one soon.

As a student of Camilo can say that I really love his teaching method imparting good knowledge, besides being a great human being is an exceptional and unique being that attributes you as a person to be able to improve values ​​such as being and also at a professional level is a teacher that has a quality superior to that of the works that I love because it is good and easy to use. an explore a world beyond what you risk, that has something in which the new ideas to open your mind in new ideas, regarding your teaching in the class of aesthetics of design was very open in the topic of the aesthetics of the design by which the knowledge of a book that exposes the theme of the ugly and the beautiful, not only to find beauty in the beautiful but also in what can be found symmetry, deformity, harmony for example Jesus in the Crucifixi n La Form of His Body exhaustion, his blood THIS Changes the perception of the beautiful. I learned a lot from this book and of course from this admirable teacher.
