Designing is easy, but conceptualizing is difficult. I’ve been making graphics art for my org, and I must say that it takes me one day to one week only to come up with different ideas that usually end up being thrown away when I run Photoshop. After conceptualizing, it takes me two to three days of “photoshopping.” Only then will I produce a nice decent work.
This time, Mike asked me to design a name tag for our upcoming event, The Pautakan 2009. It took me an hour to finish a non-fancy art. Maybe I was in a rush, and that’s probably why painting this tag is relatively much faster than making the usual big time posters.
I incorporated some Web 2.0 elements in some layers to compose a simple, elegant, and sleek output. And that makes everyone’s eyes to feel some rest upon seeing it.
I look forward to doing more designs. I enjoy this job given to me as I learn new techniques for my improvement.


ganda ng name tag design ah.

i totally agree. the same goes in every form of art. planning is much more difficult than the delivery. i like the design. very contemporary and neat.
