Cube is going DOWN! oh No! I mean Yes!

No - the company is not shutting off, but yes - we will transfer down to the first floor of the building where we are presently situated, still inside the wheels N' more compound.

Cubepixels Bajada branch will soon occupy the old Hpnotiq bar beside Bruegger's Cafe. The floor area is quite bigger than the space we are at right now - enough to accommodate more or less 15 people. I decided to transfer to a more visible and conducive-for-learning place due to my desire of pursuing the designers lounge. It will be mini-library of graphics-related material such as books and magazines I've collected for my 12 years in the industry.

Wifi Internet ready, too. Just another bright idea by Cubepixels to keep Davao graphics community alive.

TouchBase Asia

My programmer-friend and I are into a new business.

Business outsourcing is undeniably one of the fastest growing industry today - and so we take the same path to where everybody walks busy through the maze of wires and fiber optic cables (my genetic days are back - well my memory is still good).

TouchbaseAsia team will soon open its doors to offer web-related services, such as web design and development, domain name and hosting, content writing, and site building. I find it promising to delve into online business since more and more companies are putting their demands on the web.

Hence, we are looking for the following:

- web designers
- web programmers: php, asp, drupal
- content writers and site builders
- design supervisor
- marketing personnel

Kindly submit your resume with design portfolio to:

Gateway Davao - showcase

Here's another project of mine from the Department of Tourism - Region 11.

The owner of this is a little picky yet giving sense to improve everything - of course, what can we expect from a tourism person to lure people to visit Davao.

This design project is called Gateway Davao and it aims to project the city as an infrastructure-ready beyond the notion of being just a typical hub of the south. Yes, it's a sad fact that people from the north sometimes having impression of something we don't really live with for a long time. Accessibility-wise we are ready. IT infrastructure is booming. Tourism is always on the height. I just love Davao.

Kadayawan design

In a few days time you will see this design of mine along the streets of Davao.

Colour Index

Every time I'm in Manila, you would know where to find me quickly (not at the bars anymore!) - but to the graphic arts section of popular bookshops there at SM Megamall or in Glorieta.

Just recently, I bought this book called Colour Index by Jim Krause. I've been looking for this kind of book for a very long time until i finally found it inside the POWERBOOKS.

Graphic designers - you would love this book and I'd like to emphasize it's not only for print but web color chart, too.

Reviews on the web for this book so far is good - and I find it really indispensable since I'm into both print and the web industry. Although it's not a cheap one but spending about P1,300 for the cost of this book would give a long way to at least while my business is going.
