“Ironically anti-design, laced with innuendo, ultimately sublime: The satirical Vgrafiks 2.0—Vigi for short—website draws you in like some exquisite whore in the cosmopolitan wasteland of Makati. You know it’s not love but you can’t pull out. It’s a client’s nightmare swathed in red, a razor-edged commentary on the business of illusion,” declares Vgrafiks at http://www.vgrafiks.com/press/
“The brutalism movement has been around since a couple of years back because it’s a reaction to the sameness that lead to the blandness of the design industry all over the world. A lot of people just look at our article and just see the vulgar images and foul words, but they don’t really get what it means,” explains Russ Vergara of Vgrafiks.
Founded in April 23, 2008, Vgrafiks describes itself “Design for Unlovely Brands.” The company overview reads, “D’BEST Digital + Branding + Identity + Website + Graphic Design + Social Media Marketing & Activation Campaigns in Manila, Philippines + D’WORLD.”
Both Vgrafiks’ words and images reflect the brutalist aesthetic: “Inspiring, iconic, + disruptively innovative storytelling by passionate creatives, curators, + communicators utilizing a game-changing creative process fueled by creative coffee. The creative future of experiential brand identity design: Credible but with a touch of kulit. Timeless but forward-looking. Minimalist to the max. Solution-oriented, systems-based, + gluten-free. Charot! So tara. Let’s find the key to your aesthetic. Get quirky, fun, + playful with me in the eclectic laboratory of Vigi.”
