Graphika Manila '09

Graphika Manila is the premier multimedia and graphic design event in the Philippines. Since 2006, Graphika Manila has attracted over 3,500 design students and professionals and is hailed as one of the most influential multimedia art events in the country. *from Graphika Manila 09 Book.

And Desthinkt, was there!The speakers were great, especially Stefan Sagmeister, who really just, well, talked about happiness, being happy with your work. Designing to sustain your heart's desires--- sort of self fulfillment, which I think is the most important when it comes to designing--- you really have to have the heart to do it, you must want it. Because if you want it, you will always look for something to make your craft better--- you're always in search for development, and in this industry--- as they always say--- you're only as good as your last work.

It was also great knowing the men behind, my favorite movies--- like the Star Wars Saga and Spiderwick Chronicles--- the Industrial Light & Magic--- they are the ones responsible for the VIX (Visual Effects) of the movies,--- made those really bad-ass non-existing, out-of-this-world, special effects to make your jaws drop in awe.

All-in, I say, am in for the next Graphika Manila!
