My presentation ~

In my presentation I will talk about Rebecca Sugar: an American animator, director, screenwriter, producer, songwriter and also designer. She is known for creating the Cartoon Network series Steven Universe.

The presentation will be divided into three parts: Early life, Career and my reasons to choose her.

Firstly I will explain her early life:

She was born on July 9, 1987 at Silver Spring, Maryland, U.S. She has Jewish roots and is a descendant of a Holocaust survivor. She studied at Montgomery Blair High School and the Visual Arts Center at Albert Einstein High School. After that, she went on to attend the School of Visual Arts in New York.

After I will talk about her career:

During her time at the School of Visual Arts, Sugar directed different animated films. She simultaneously worked to the cartoon's backgrounds and characters of a cartoon series named nockFORCE.

In 2010, Sugar published a lot of comics and graphic novels with different topics like sexual diversity, mental illness and other taboo matters. That year, she also joined to the Adventure time crew as storyboard artist. Around 2012 she left Adventure time in order to focus on her own series Steven Universe.

Finally I wil explain why I choose her and what is her relationship with the design.

In her works she a common affair is the exposition of relevant taboo topics in cartoons as genre equality and sexual diversity. Furthermore, through her own kids show she expects to transmit a very important message just like a designer does; in conclusion, that's why she is an inspiration and very important woman for me as professional and designer.
