VJ7 Printing is my trusty printing service! They make printing so easy, and they do it for a very…read moreaffordable price. Normally, you would think affordable means you would have to sacrifice quality, but there is NO way that VJ7 Printing will deliver a subpar product. I initially contacted their sales representative via email for some price quotes for a project I was working on. He was very helpful in explaining the different types of paper I could print on and the size options that would best fit my budget. After finalizing the design, I sent the finished pdf file to him via email. I don't know how many back and forth emails I sent but the response was always quick! Later on, they were the same printing services who printed my wedding invitations. They looked uh-mazing! The quality was excellent and the colors were so vibrant. What I appreciated is that they sent me proof samples before printing the whole batch just to be sure that there would not be any color matching issues. Also, I love how they involve their clients in their business. When they had the unveiling of their new printers, I was invited to their shop to see how the machines work. They now have paper cutting machine that will slice through reams of paper. They have a die cutting machine and a machine that prints gold and silver ink (super new to me!). Of course, they showed us their professional laser printer. All these new machines meant one thing, better quality prints at a faster turnover rate! Awesome! Talk about great service! They definitely know what they are doing and their customer care is just top notch. So, if you're looking for a printing service (especially for big projects), VJ7 Printing is the place to go! :D

One of the best graphic branding / graphic design stores in Manila is Serious Studio. A lot may not…read morebe aware of this - but our favorite restaurants like 12/10, Girl and the Bull, Perfect Pint, Sprout, EDSA BDG, and Original Savory are all under the branding of Serious Studio. My very first encounter with this company is through their lettering workshop that was held in EDSA BDG. I felt that they were such a funny group of creatives because I enjoyed the workshop so much! Branding is really their forte so seeing that they give these restaurants a new life really makes me happy! They've done numerous branding work but I'm glad to say that they've never have the same design or concept for each store or client. Aside from Branding and Strategy, I love their works on Motion Graphics too! Whenever I watch their videos, I really get so inspired to be like them! So for business owners who have no creativity whatsoever, head over to Serious Studio to help you with your branding needs.

Creativity Lounge was my emergency printing shop back in my office secretary days. Whenever I had…read moregraphics emergencies, it has always been conveniently there to rescue me. They're actually a mish-mash of anything computer and internet related, having an internet café and a digital design studio all in one shop. I've brochure-hoarded (one of my guilty pleasures, sue me) one time and I found out they do web design packages, as well as designs related to company branding. They can do your logos, letterheads, IDs, whatever the hell you need to look even more pro in the business world. I haven't exactly tried (or thought about purchasing) those packages though. They can cost a lot for a starting business owner after all. But I did try printing my own digital paintings there. Sometimes, there are problems with the printer calibration, but they do allow printing a sample first so you can request adjustments. It was satisfying nonetheless, and printing my digital paintings here had gotten pretty addicting. I now send them as postcards during the hoidays to friends all over the world, hah!

Choosing the right graphic artist can make or break your online presence or your business for that…read morematter, maybe not entirely but that would determine the image you project to the world, personally and professionally. Now, I know there are a lot of artists online that you can hire and you probably know someone who knows someone who is but you should really look into their work first and get to know their background before you trust them. Of course you have the last say; if it's a go or a big no but wouldn't it be easier if you went with someone who has years of experience backing him and also with credibility? Dale's been doing this for a while and he has worked for a big company too but he decided he wanted to explore the vast world of graphic artistry (can I say graphic artistry?) and well, the world itself being he's on his own time and all. The only thing you have to do is give him an idea of what you're looking for or what your vision is. You could also let him free reign on everything but I prefer it to be 50-50. Talk to him about what you want and maybe he's the right fit for the kind of work you're looking to get. Yes? Scope of work: Graphic Design, Illustration, 3D Illustration and Motion Design

They also do some photography which can be a cool add on bundle to whatever graphic services you need. Like working with most independent designers, its important to build a relationship with the artist or designer that you are working with to ensure a good flow of work and that deadlines are met. I've worked with Ry from Artillery on several projects before and he always managed to deliver what I needed exactly how I wanted it to be. Just be professional and also know what you want. Its important to remember that graphic designers aren't magicians but they can be wizards with the right ingredients from you. Price points depend on the scale of your project but are worth it when you get your finished product. Just make sure to communicate and follow up well enough with them as sometimes there can be delays due to the bulk of clientele they have on their growing portfolio.

I had some challenges finding good graphic designers in Manila and then I found Josef. He is a true…read moreprofessional. First and foremost, he is excellent in bringing concept to design. I gave him an elaborate description of what i was trying to accomplish and he created excellent designs. He is an excellent listener. Sometimes there was some back and forth and I might give feedback that ie "the promo sheet looked a little cluttered" and he listened closely to my critiques and modified accordingly. As a business person that seeks effiency because I don't have enough hours in a day, I really appreciated that I never had to repeat myself. He has quick response times. Anytime I had a question or requested change he was on top of in an impressively short amount of time. Lastly, his prices are very reasonable. All in all I highly recommend Josef.

I didn't really think it through but the first thing I did was to call my best friend Jo to help me make a logo (it seemed like the most logical thing to do!). After a few key words and ideas being screamed at the phone, he miraculously managed to come up with something I dreamt about! It was perfect! Jo is a graphic designer who does freelance work as a sideline. He's got an excellent track record with numerous logos created and even artwork to show off! He can do almost everything that has something to do graphic design including video edits, take photos, edit photos, layouts, illustrations, EVERYTHING. He's also really fun to work with and has pretty quick turnaround too! It's also good to note that his rates are quite reasonable and he's great to talk to, so don't be intimidated! He'll help you with what you need!
