Create Philippines 2018 To Feature Communication Design Masterclass, Workshops, and More
Creativity is what fuels new business ideas and innovation. Globally, businesses are becoming highly competitive and creativity is one important aspect to consider. When we talk about the Philippines and the field of art, we can name drop artists who are internationally known for their craft. We are creative people, and the world knows about it.
That is why the government created a platform where arts and business can be joined together to help make the Philippines a top-of-mind destination for quality content and service. Through the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions‘ project called CREATE Philippines, we can share new learning, ideas, innovation, and business network in one platform.
Last September 18, 2018, CREATE Philippines showcased a glimpse of what to expect at this year’s theme of Communication Design in an exclusive media preview.
In its 2nd year, CREATE Philippines, the Philippine government’s trade platform, will be focusing on Communication Design, an art of delivering ideas through various media channels. Product Visualization Using Adobe Dimension CC, Value of Design, Design Business and How Creativity Boost Business, are among other topics to be tackled in this year’s event.
In partnership with the Communication Design Association of the Philippines (CDAP), CREATE Philippines 2018 will feature masterclasses, talks, workshops, portfolio exhibitions, and networking, perfect for agencies, freelancers, talents, students and everyone who wish to have a deeper understanding of Communication Design.
Executive Director Paulina Suaco-Juan
In the media preview, Executive Director Paulina Suaco-Juan was present and gave a sneak peek of what to expect on Create Philippines this coming September 22-23, 2018. “Attendees are set for an exciting and insightful experience in the 2nd edition of CREATE Philippines which will feature masterclasses, portfolio exhibits, and a networking event,” said Ms. Juan, Preview Magazine’s Editor in Chief for 14 years, and is now the Executive Director of CITEM.
