DMCI Homes, a real-estate builder and developer, started it’s operations in 1999. In that short amount of time they have managed to become one of the leading young players in the highly competitive realty industry building more than a dozen prime residential properties for more than 5,000 families.

Dynamic. Fun. Fresh.

Words that can describe the hip and chic look of Islands Group, makers of the famous Island Souvenirs. I own a couple of Island souvenir and like their shirts.

Hello! Welcome to 1DPH. The blog that talks about design, branding, logos, illustration and anything creatively Filipino.

This blog would share some of my insights as a designer on stuffs about design and branding. The design realm is too large that I can’t even specialize on a topic!

It would be safe to say that anything about good and bad design would be talked about here (yes, I know designs are relatively good and bad to the people looking at it) I’ll just share a point or two of my own opinion.

Thanks for visiting!
