âHere is why The Ninth Watch is an important piece of design. Not because a big ad agency did it, or because it’s a clever media stunt. It’s important because it was designed like someone gave a damn. And not just about the science or the facts–but about you and me. That’s where design starts. And you don’t need to be BBDO to do it.â Finally, Science Branding That Doesn’t […]

Replace with V
Where this brand name trend came from, we can’t be certain, but if there’s anything Web 2.0 has taught me, it’s that companies need to stand out and snap up a good domain name at the same time. This looks like one of the easier solutions. The difference is while it’s still a form of “bastarized text”, it’s not a variation on spelling that retains how the word is pronounced, […]
MiniFFC #16 in pictures: the business of design, PhoneGap, RCSS
To use Ely’s term, it was a very intimate setup at Commune for the January 2014 MiniFFC web design meetup. Rina covered the essential factors in dealing with clients, pricing, growing your business, and picking out work for your portfolio. You can download the slides by clicking above. For more in-depth training about this, there’s the Going Pro workshop series happening this March. Chard gave an overview of mobile app […]
#YourSuccessStory is a clever campaign for UP Job Fair 2014
Before the UP Fair hits during the Diliman month of February, the University Job Fair does. On its 25th year it made quite an impression that I don’t believe has been done before. #YSS isn’t just a bunch of event announcements with posters that look good. It’s a proper campaign that encourages graduating UP students to not only find a job, but more importantly, to aim for success. And possibly […]
âAdventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill youâ
Update (03/31/2016): Yöeme notes in the comments that he posted this quote and suddenly showed up everywhere else. Saw this in my Twitter feed, apparently being sold locally. I really just wanted to keep this nice little quote on my blog. Turns out it’s a project by Florida-based 48 Savvy Sailors. What are the odds that shop asked permission or even obtained this design from the source instead of Pinterest, […]
Monumento ni Supremo
Clearly taking a page from The New York Times’s A Game of Shark and Minnow, which in turn had its roots in the controversial Snow Fall, The Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines has published a special section of its website for the Sesquicentennial of Andres Bonifacio. It focuses on “Monumento”, his famous edifice in the north. The page starts with a CloudFlare loading screen; a jarring but […]

The 2013 Blogging Scene
I’ve stood by WordPress for the longest time but that doesn’t mean I don’t keep tabs on the new shiny things. I’ve mentioned Svbtle, Jux, and Medium—before it adapted a more typographic design. Ghost, said to be the next WP contender (I heard that about Anchor before) is the most buzzy one these days now that it’s finally launched to the general public. But the list is a lot longer […]
My kind of colorful
I like the colorful stuff. While other people would prefer neutrals or hues that aren’t turned up to 11, and while my favorite color is the safest, most popular one in the world, I don’t discriminate. I welcome the possibilities of each speck in the spectrum. (Although navigating the tints and shades of orange is the trickiest in my experience.) The thing is, while I wanted to delight in the […]
