Speakers:
Graffiti Art
A new level of art has been continues to be popular here in the Philippines. Graffiti art where first introduced here in Manila since 1990’s . The first graffiti masterpiece were first saw in some street walls in New York, USA during 1960’s. They said it was a criminal act because of the vandalism law probihited on that country.
I believe graffiti art is good when graffiti artist put them on a legal way rather than on illegal acts. Actually, it is an art that everyone should appreciate most especially artists enthusiast.
Let’s open our mind and eyes to see the beauty behind this art work. Some graffiti artist said it’s a way of expressing on what they feel and see things in life.
Nico Puertollano
It was an exciting graphics and multimedia conference i’ve ever seen. The Graphika Manila started at 10 am and there’s a lot of designer practioners and students attended this annually conference gathering which held at the Center Stage of Mall of Asia.
There’s also a boot outside the movie theater where all attendeess are welcome to participate in each boot. The DesignPeople is one of the sponsor of this event and i am very lucky because i had a free ticket which is mandatory given by our company. It was hosted by Nico Puertollano a graphic designer who grew up in United States, he’s really good. He knows how to make the audience feel alive most especially when he think the audience feel sleepy and bored.
Some of the speakers also delivered very well their art works to the audiences even if they had encountered technical diffuculties in some part of their program.
It’s really nice to see their masterpieces, where they had been recognized. They also tell their good and bad experiences they had been encountered. I really like one of the speaker said to us, “to inspire and be inspired”. I’ve learned that having a passion in what you’re doing is really important because if you’re not happy in what you do most especially in your job in the long run you’ll have a difficulty achieving whatever your goal in life.
I really like Hue Visualab one of the speaker in this event, most especially their awesome video reel. Their video presentation is extremely nice because all of the audience were amazed and inspired.
We feel good when our art work is appreciated by everyone because after a long hard time completing that piece of art, it is more fullfiling and worth in the end. I believe each one of us have hidden creativity or talent to ourselves maybe we didn’t still discover yet.
The program have also questions and answers portion. After that they gave prizes in their raffles.
I can’t wait for the another upcoming Graphika Manila next year i hope i could attend again to this conference i really learn a lot from them.
