THE PHILIPPINES, MAY 15, 2012: Design Talks at Ayala Museum presents Inksurge, the blend of Rex Advincula dn Joyce Tai, on May 19, 3PM.
Both graduates of computer courses, (Advincula is a B.S. in Information Technology while Tai is B.S. Computer Science and B.A. Computer Arts in San Francisco), they met in their day jobs for a local IT firm – where they both got bored in their day to day work and decided to take the leap: creating a backyard design studio, meeting in coffee shops, and working from computers stationed in their parents’ homes – forming Inksurge.
Working by the principle of good design being just the right brew of a strong idea steeped in research and well-crafted visuals, all created over the perfect cup of coffee (Advincula takes it with sugar, Tai takes it with milk), the now full-fledged design shop’s portfolio includes websites, product packaging, print and illustration, commissioned art, even furniture and shoe designs for big names in fashion, music, arts, and services, both in the local and international scene.
The talk will be held at the Ayala Museum ground floor lobby. Admission to the talk is P300. Discounted rate of P150 is available for students, teachers, senior citizens and Ayala Museum members with corresponding IDs.
