PEOPLE’S BUDGET 2014 We worked with the communications and design team of DBM (Department of Budget and Management) for this years People’s Budget. It was really nice working with them as they were very open to our ideas and design direction.

From DBM: "For the past months, the national Budget has been pushed to the forefront of the Filipino’s collective consciousness. But really, how does the national government allocate each and every centavo from our taxpayers?  In the latest version of the People’s Budget, we illustrate the steps in creating and implementing the national Budget every year. ” Download the 2014 People’s Budget at:http://bit.ly/pbudget2014 Design Team: Dan Matutina, Joanna Malinis & Raxenne Maniquiz

Usability is not everything. If usability engineers designed a nightclub, it would be clean, quiet, brightly lit, with lots of places to sit down, plenty of bartenders, menus written in 18-point sans-serif, and easy-to-find bathrooms. But nobody would be there. They would all be down the street at Coyote Ugly pouring beer on each other.

Kindred (kindredapp.net)

At the Design Co.Mission (an event our studio organized), we presented Kindred, a solution for blood donation in time of need. It was well received by the attendees and also by the Undersecretary of the Department of Health. The web app is still currently in beta. If we have the time and money, we will add more features.

We collaborated with the guys of Nadarei for the development of the site. :)

Ito Kish & Schema

The studio recently did the brand identity design & catalogue of Schema (a lighting and home decor company) and the catalogue of Ito Kish (a furniture designer) for the Maison & Objet Paris this September. :) We’re so honored to work with talented and world-class Filipino design brands. Yey! 

We’re going to shoot photos of the stuff for our folio soon. 

Go team! :)

Here are some of the things that I worked on in the studio. :)

[jomalinis-blog]

I think it’s very important for young designers to do two things. One: spend the first one to five years learning how to design and present design from somebody who is terrific at it. Having that basic understanding will carry you through the rest of their career. The second is this: develop the ability to explain, defend, and promote your work. Those are the two most important things.

I think graphic design is an important profession because it’s part of what we put out into the world, and it’s what people see and perceive. It’s not just about doing design for the “public good.” The design community currently thinks that if you design something to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, then that’s good, but if you design something for a bank, then that’s bad. I disagree. I think all design matters and all design deserves to be intelligent.

Finished my first set! Yay!

Here is my take on Tiffany Ford's #Daily Color Block tag. Say hello to 4 weeks worth of outfit illustrations that I started working on mid May --which was probably Manila's hottest month (hence the minis). Come mid June, the rain began pouring like crazy, so I ditched all the short and flat stuff and switched to wearing pants and boots.

Hi there, my name is Jo Malinis. I am a 20 something graphic designer and illustrator from Manila. I go by the name aniciaclean on Twitter and (my other) Tumblr.

I usually just dump and reblog random things on my other Tumblr, so I made this one to serve as my personal blog. I don't really blog blog because I know that I don't write well (haha), but I will try to update this one with posts of my personal work and inspirations.
