COLLATERAL DAMAGE



these didnt make it as collaterals during my first exhibit called "The Extraordinary Exhibit" held at Ayala Center Cebu. I think the shirts are still available there.

Anyhoo, these were fun to do.
Their names are Gertrude for the dudette and Gunther for the odd bisexual, gay dude.

PAOK PATTERN CONTEST ENTRY




This was my entry for Paoks Pattern Contest.
It failed.:P

"THE GOLDEN RATIO"

The Golden Ratio is what we call an
irrational number: it has an infinite
number of decimal places and it never
repeats itself. Generally, we round the
Golden Ratio to 1.618.

It has also been used aesthetically as a unit
of measurement in greek architecture and
perceived as a proportion which exemplifies
beauty, perfection, and balance through
symmetry.

Patterns or tilings reflect the basic
mathemathical properties of the golden
ratio as tesselations ( irregular shapes or
combinations of shapes that interlock
completely to cover a surface or plane.)

This design comes from this principle
and that the idea that mathemathics and
art both converge in a manner that is
naturally pleasing, based on a natural order
or law as described by the golden ratio.
this certain balance also reflects the belief
of yin and yang, or the idea of equity/balance
of things, both dark (as the grey areas) and
light elements (as the gold/orange areas); of
which the most basic notions are the ff.:

-good and evil
-life and death
-love and war

these topics are identified as contrasts.
these contrasts are emphasized through the
use of different colors and elements which
all come together in such harmony to
achieve perfect balance, both as an aesthetic
and as an ideological IDEA.

CHAD MANZO x BRATPACK



Bratpack Philippines is one of the biggest retailers of quality bags like, Jansport, Eastpak, and Timbuk2 just to name a few. They also carry shoe brands like DC skate, and Sanuk.

They approached me to do their staff uniform and the brief was simple.
1. Simple and Clean.
2. Something they can wear outside the store.
3. Street and contemporary.
4. Good sense of branding.

The type tee solution was a hit.
Thanks Bratpack for reaching out!

CHAD MANZO x FRANCIS KONG



Francis Kong is a popular inspirational/motivational writer and speaker in the Philippines.
Francis has a regular column on the Philippine Star and has a ton of books to back up his street cred. Francis also has a slew of seminars and motivational talks under his belt; now he has asked me to do, not one, but two book covers for his upcoming titles.

One for a tablebook/booklet of sorts, and the other one a collection of small motivational stories.
These are in print right now and is available through national bookstore (? not so sure) nationwide.

will update as soon as I know where these are stands.:)
Thanks for reaching out Francis!
