Welcome to Graphika Manila 09!

Now that we are celebrating four years of Graphika Manila, we again bring together Manila's creative minds to listen to inspiring stories and celebrate the works of the best multimedia and graphic designers from the Philippines and from around the globe.

Join us again on August 15 at the SM Mall of Asia to learn from our local and international line-up of speakers who are in the fields of graphic design, motion graphics and animation, and visual effects production. Find out about their ideas and inspirations, design tips and tricks, and just maybe, some of life's best lessons.

Each year, we strive to keep Graphika Manila even more exciting than before. Here are some of the new things that you can look forward to this year.

• We listened and are bringing in some of speakers you wanted! Listen in on graphic design icon Stefan Sagmeister; ILM, one of the industry's super-power in visual effects; and, ever-evolving motion design studio, Brand New School. To know more about them and the rest of this year's speakers, visit the speakers' profiles.
• The design community keeps growing and Graphika Manila is growing with it! This year, GM09 is part of Manila Design Week 09 - a week long, collaborative graphic design event that will be showcased around the metro. Visit www.maniladesignweek.com for details about this concurrent event.
• Be part of The Graphika Manila 09 Book, a 64-page collection that will feature speakers' portfolio as well as other artists' works.

So save the date - and see you soon for another exciting conference!
