In a world of 5-second hooks and endless scrolling, thank you for giving us your undivided attention for a whole hour!

We're still in a state of disbelief being able to mount the panel about "Design in the Age of Content Creation" at Graphika Manila ! To everyone who tuned in: we hope you walked away with some helpful nuggets, whether you’re just starting to plan your content journey or are already deep in it.

We shared origin stories, shared some hard truths about the industry, and hopefully gave you something better than "aesthetic" to take home.

See you at Graphika Manila! ✨

We wanted to bring something that's prevalent, yet not often talked about in the design sphere. Join us as we explore how content creation has become an essential extension of contemporary design practice.

Listen to our panel at DAY 1:

✏️ Kevin Paul Santos - Graphic Designer, and Executive Vice President, CDAP
✏️ Kristina Uy - Brand Identity Designer
✏️ Paolo Salgado - Founder, Agape Design Studio, and Director of Marketing, CDAP
✏️ Alana Jorge - Founder, Brand Designer, Consultant at Silver Fruit Studio

Moderated by:
🎤 Karl Castro - Artist, Designer, Educator, and Director for Design Research and Archives, CDAP

A first for Graphika! 🚀

In collaboration with the Communication Design Association of the Philippines (CDAP), we’re hosting Graphika’s first-ever panel discussion. Hear from some of the industry’s best as they dive into “Design in the Age of Content Creation”.

This panel explores how content creation has become an essential extension of contemporary design practice. As platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube shape how designers find clients, jobs, and communities, creatives are increasingly expected to create content not just design. This discussion focuses on how designers can engage with content creation intentionally, sustainably, and authentically, without compromising their craft.
