Inksurge for Kaunlaran Magazine

Kaunlaran magazine is a bi-monthly magazine for employees and friends of San Miguel Corporation by the Corporate Affairs Office. The magazine is an informative newsletter on SMC’s social responsibility initiatives, programs to improve employee welfare, good customer relations, and to ensure that San Miguel’s products, process and practices are environmentally safe and friendly. Inksurge was commissioned to design the cover along with a special infographics poster/ insert celebrating the 120th years of San Miguel.





Still lot of things to do, watch for more of our works for SMC. Full feature of our work will be posted on our next update.

The fast lane...

We apologize for the lack of updates, first - our Internet connection has been on and off on the past few days, second - our server strangely rolled-back to the year 2009 (including website and emails), third - lots and lots of pizza munching action, and fourth- our crazy schedule for work....we can't wait to finish all of this and update our site!

Thanks to Kimi of YoCards for inviting us to judge Visuals With Visions II, here are some of our favorites



Congratulations to all the winners!

Maria Cafra remix by Inksurge

We haven't seen our work on the actual night itself, but we are glad to submit and design one for Manila Sound Remix...our assignment was to rework classic Pinoy Rock icons Maria Cafra. They already have a nice vinyl cover during the days, but we wanted to make it bolder and more stronger....

IdN v17n4: 100th Issue

IdN v17n4: 100th Issue

With all the challenges faced by print publishing these days, to reach 100 consecutive issues of a bi-monthly magazine is quite an achievement – and it's all down to you, our invaluable readers! In appreciation of your tremendous support, we have come up with our biggest-ever article to celebrate this milestone. We have asked 10 top-of-the-class creatives to answer a couple of questions – how do they view today's design scene, and what advice would they offer newcomers to it? Not only that, but our Top 10 have been generous enough to pick out 10 peers whose work they believe deserves greater prominence for your enjoyment. A feast of inspiration, then, for everybody in the art and design business.
