Lightbringer - Meralco's very own Transformer

Meralco Week 2010 - Elevation 

Last March 2010, Meralco (Manila Electric Company, Philippines) celebrated Meralco Week dubbed "Elevation" and I have been going in the head office's compound (Ortigas, Pasig) recently, picking up my girlfriend from Business Solutions Center.  In lieu of this month-long celebration, they have built their very own Transformer robot named Lightbringer, a company service vehicle.

The robot was amazingly constructed in detail at about 20 ft. in height, standing beside its vehicle form, an actual Meralco service unit --from which its actual parts the robot was built from.

Definitely creative!

Graphika Manila 09

July 15, 2009

SM Mall of Asia Premier Cinema

The finale event of the Manila Design Week 2009, and most probably the notable. What has become (in its 4th run now) the premier annual event in the Graphic Design world here in the Philippines - Graphika Manila.

This was my first attendance since the event's inception in 2006, together with the Orange & Bronze Creative team.

What surprised me in the event itself is when I found out the fact that Aram Beheshti, all the while, is Graphika Manila's foremost inventor and big boss, who's actually a schoolmate of mine in Don Bosco during college. We soon hope Orange & Bronze Creative team would be a sponsor on next year's event!

Speakers:

Stefan Sagmeister - Sagmeister Inc. New York
Christian Alzmann - Art Director, Industrial Light and Magic
Jens Gelhaar - Creative Director, Brand New School
Ryan Vergara & Garovs Garovillo - Everywhere We Shoot
Angel Guerrero - Editor in Chief, Adobo Magazine
Pancho Esguerra, Greg Garcia, Mark Mendoza - Springboard

Orange & Bronze Creative team:

Graphic/Web Designers Edwin Lacap, Randy Paulino, Dhoris Tayag, and Mikko Clauor, with Writer Christel Amparado, and Business Analyst Clair Ching

Adobe Creative Festival Philippines 2009

July 29, 2009

Crowne Plaza, Manila Galleria

A colleague from O&B Creative, Mikko Claour and I went to the Adobe Creative Festival - Live in the Philippines. A short but really noted event.

This was actually Adobe's official launch of Creative Suite 4 (CS4) here in the Philippines. Just recently, we in the Creative team of Orange & Bronze just purchased our own sets of Adobe CS4 Design Premium, and everything they've presented in the event are included in the tutorial packages included in the bundle. Not only that, it's all available (and more) online here , so you really didn't miss anything - except the in-your-face and real time demonstration of all that's new in CS4.

Everything from Acrobat's Portfolio builder, Photoshop's ability to open and edit .3ds files, InDesign's very cool feature of exporting pages to Flash (.swf) with instant presentation transitions, Flash and Premiere's ball joint features, Dreamweaver's new anchors, Premiere's meta tagging in videos thru speech translations...and so on...

Also noted is the Adobe Production Premium bundle and its summed up list and diagram of what's what in post production process:

Integration & Output

Review: Alamat ng Gubat

Title: Alamat ng Gubat

Author: Bob Ong

This book was a highly recommended read of a colleague, even long before I got my hands on it. And what can I say, another brilliant idea from Bob Ong. For those who are not familiar with Bob Ong's works, he's the one responsible for such local and famous best sellers as "Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas" and "ABNKKBSNPLAko?!" among others. As expected, candid humor and unconventional story-telling are the main ingredients of the book, but the crop is its unique presentation and plot, and, undoubtedly the mocking symbolism behind every character.

What makes "Alamat ng Gubat" stand out is that it's a quick read (merely a hundred pages), packaged as a Children's Book complete with full color splash pages. The story of a young Crab/Talangka in search of the Puso ng Saging that seems to be the cure for his ailing "king" father. Along the way he basically meets different animals in the jungle which represents in essence the different aspects of the Modern Filipino...in politics, culture, habits, principles...you name it. Each encounter would mirror the Filipino character combined with humor and spontaneous off color remarks by the narrator (in which the author is really brilliant with). Behind the humor and indirect character analogies, one would immediately recognize the harsh reality of which today's Filipinos are really known for. A mockery mixed with antics, and at the end, one would think and meditate how true these fictional characters really play with their real-life counterparts. And who are they? it is you. Me. And everyone of us who calls ourselves the Filipino.

Ang kwentong pambata na pang-matanda. Ang iba't ibang uri ng kahayupan sa kagubatan ng Saging Republic.
