  • Switching On Warp Speed

    In November of 2009, Chikka was bought by Smart. I was only a year young in the company. Changes were for the better. Progress is always good.

    During the latter part of 2014, Chikka began merging under Voyager Innovations. Our little pail of water world was suddenly thrown into a pool. Work became more challenging. Stepping up became a necessity for survival. Changes were for the better. Progress is always good.

    On this day of October 2018, the pool is overflown. KKR and Tencent invest in Voyager Innovations. The future is brighter than ever. The now, more exciting with challenges.

    This is a watershed moment not only for Voyager Innovations but also for the Philippines. With this investment by KKR and Tencent, we will trigger an inflection point in digital adoption and financial inclusion in the country. Orlando B. Vea, President and CEO of Voyager Innovations

  • Is web design dying? Is custom design gone? How do we convince people that custom design is better than the 10 buck template deal online?

    Do you see web design laying down the curb, breathing its last breath?

    It’s true that the term “web design” is rarely heard in job postings and in the industry simply because every thing connected to it has moved on.

    Primarily the technology in which we access the web. It has gone from the big bulky desktop computer to mobile phones to other things that are connected to the internet.

    Along with the capabilities of these technologies are the enablement of people to accomplish tasks using our mobile and wearable devices.

    The designers aren’t designing solely for websites anymore but in a bigger picture, for experiences.

    In this regard that business owners could lean more towards getting their presence online using a “10-dollar template” than being heavy on their brand using a custom design. Hey, they could even do it themselves through Wix or Squarespace.

    As a designer, don’t go convincing people that a custom design is better than templated design. Go with the flow of progress. Think “UX design”.

  • Nutrition Facts Label

    Introduction

    In this second episode of RE:Creation, we’re going to re-create something that we’re all familiar with—the Nutrition Facts Label. This particular design is specific to U.S. Food and Drug Administration—although most nutrition information from other countries appear similar in terms of their tabular design.

    We may ask, isn’t this label a print material (as opposed to digital)? Yes, this label—and others like it—are plastered in every packaging of edible products across the planet. Why would we delve into converting it for web then?

  • Excited for a Camera

    The last time I felt this way towards a camera was when I wanted a Canon 6D and a pancake lens. Since I’m kinda going lean in my life, this camera got me.

    The first thing you’ll notice is the way the ZEISS ZX1 fits in the hand, the bend in the display – it just feels right. And then you discover the impressive optical quality of the lens: pin sharp results with an amazing depth of detail, juicy vibrant colors and an excellent balance. Source

    Juicy… hmmm.

  • The Philippine Passport Design of 2018

    Recently, a family member renewed a passport. The design is reminiscent of the one-hundered peso bill with its purplish color and “entched” illustration style. I like it.
