Manila’s best designers took a week off. Global design star Stefan Sagmeister took a year off.
This month, adobo magazine, recognized by the Philippine advertising community as the word in advertising, talks about how the design world is recharging its creative juices and enriching its product.
A recent visitor to Manila, Sagmeister also graces the latest cover of adobo magazine. He discusses his one-year renewal in Bali, Indonesia. He gives his candid views on visual pollution, outdoor advertising in Asia and why graphic designers find it difficult to work with ad agencies.
