This blog post is about my insight and experience on Graphika Manila<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click the year you want to read on to skip to that section. 2010<\/a>, 2011<\/a>, 2017<\/a> & 2018<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Graphika Manila is a yearly conference in the Philippines that focuses on the latest techniques and strategies when it comes to design, illustration, animation, and brand identity from invited local speakers and abroad. – Statusmagonline<\/a><\/p>\n It is when aspiring and professional designers come together to get inspired and for me after joining this event 4 times already, I can say I never came out uninspired.<\/p>\n My first exposure to Graphika Manila was in 2010. In college as a Multimedia student we were encouraged to join Design talks, convention and conferences and our school as a premiere design college was sort of a sponsor for Graphika Manila or at least it was easy for us to get student discounted tickets.<\/p>\n Thank the heaven’s Graphika Manila Actually Archives their yearly website. It has helped me in writing this blog. for 2010 here is the official Graphika Manila<\/a> website, although I think a lot of the codes are broken already due to archiving.<\/p>\n So the speakers during that year were\u00a0Tara Mcpherson,\u00a0<\/a>Danny Yount,\u00a0<\/a>Phunk Studio,\u00a0<\/a>Underground Logic,\u00a0<\/a>Cynthia<\/a> & Arnold Arre<\/a>,\u00a0Rocketsheep<\/a><\/p>\n I still remember I was so amazed with Tara’s illustrations they were so whimsical and it was the first time I was exposed to that kind of illustration. Danny Yount’s Video Production made me\u00a0awestruck. Phunk Studio’s dynamic animations was very entertaining, Underground Logic had beautiful works that made me to like their FB page and they were local!\u00a0 Cynthia and Arnold was a great example of team work and Rocketsheep was funny and his hard work and passion was inspiring. Avid and his team of volunteers was working on the film “Saving Sally<\/a>“. Production was going on for years and it seems like the end was not in sight…Thankfully it was finally released in during Metro Manila Film Fest, December 2016. 6 years after his magical talk in Graphika Manila. Then Rocketsheep came back to Graphika Manila in 2017 and he tackles the full history of Saving Sally again and inspires that sometimes it really takes a lot of guts and passion to succeed.<\/p>\n Checking out their pages and websites now sad to say some of them did not make it to today. Underground Logic’s FB Page has tagged this business as permanently close.<\/p>\n Here is the title sequence for 2010<\/p>\nGraphika Manila 2010<\/span><\/h1>\n
