KL Design week

This weekend I'll be attending the KL design week. I'm excited and yet at the same time wondering if this will prove to be a thought provoking event or a disappointing one.

On my last trip to the Singapore design week 2 years ago the turn out for that event was also mediocre.

I wonder indeed how well this event with fair. Well, its off to the design week conference and I'll let you know how well the event went.

business cards (part 2)

Dear Friends, lets take a look at this week's picture....


Ok, I've blurred the contact details out but in this picture, there's a card somewhere... a ghost card.... ok, that was lame but sorry, couldn't help myself.

Well, what I wanted to highlight was; sometimes, being a little too creative can be bad... I understand that the owner of this transparent plastic card wanted to stand out when they passed their cards out and I must say it is impressive. However, when you put in on your table or in your card holder box, there is a possibility that the card could disappear especially if it is placed between a white based card.

So, the point of this whole entry? sometimes is pays to put a little more practicality into your design and sacrificing a little creativity then to have that creativity work against you such as in this case.
