“Ang Nawawalang Soundtrack” packaging

Project: Music packaging for the film “Ang Nawawala (What Isn’t There)“‘s soundtrack on vinyl — “Ang Nawawalang Soundtrack”
Tasks: Illustrations, graphic design and layout
Released in March 2012
Client: Filmmaker Marie Jamora

In 2011, my good friend Marie Jamora asked me to design her award-winning movie “Ang Nawawala”‘s soundtrack album packaging as well as the liner for Vol.1 of the OST and the screener. It was a great honor for me to work on something that meant a lot to someone dear, and it was also challenging to design for a medium I haven’t explored designing for in the past — vinyl. The movie’s scriptwriter, another good friend Ramon de Veyra, had the brilliant idea of using clear / see-through material for the records which played on the “what isn’t there” concept so the finished product looked even more awesome than I had imagined.

Here it is “in action”:

Project: An imaginary gig poster for the band “Hapipaks” in the movie “Rakenrol”
Medium: pen and ink + digital paint
Date of publication: April 2011
Client: filmmaker Quark Henares

My dear friend Quark Henares asked his graphic designer friends to make imaginary gig posters for the band “Hapipaks: in his film “Rakenrol.” I was among them and of course I was very happy to oblige since I have personally Quark’s growth both as a person and an artistic filmmaker. For some reason images of hopia came to mind — not sure why — so I came up with this visually punny image of a box of happy hopias raring to perform. 🙂
