About the Project
Founded by Jowee Alviar and Mon Punzalan in 2001, TeamManila is a multi-disciplinary graphic design studio based in the Philippines. The studio also produces Philippine-inspired merchandise via its in-house brands such as TeamManila Lifestyle, Daily Grind and the now defunct children’s apparel line, Tiny Manila.
This particular design was released in one of the TeamManila Lifestyle 2011 collections. Each release would carry a design theme and for this one, the theme focused on the Philippine rainy season. Because colorful geometric designs were trending at the time, I chose to create an illustration that had a very Tim Biskup feel to it.
Since I had prior experience designing for children’s apparel (Big and Small Co., 2008-2010), I was assigned to handle one of TeamManila’s newer brands, Tiny Manila. The brand’s aim was to serve the same amount of “Filipino coolness” that the other brands had but with a quirkier, cuter twist. Here are some designs I made for one of the 2011 releases. The collection’s theme focused on wearable short and sweet slogans.
