Andrew (in WordCamp shirt) with Matt at WordCamp Philippines 2008<\/p><\/div>\n

Meet Andrew. He’s our resident designer for all things WordCamp since 2008. His WordCamp design portfolio includes, among others, the 2008 WordCamp Philippines shirt<\/a>, which WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg made special mention of<\/a> at WordCamp San Francisco 2008, and WordCamp New York’s 2009 logo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Find out more about his design workflow in this short Q&A:<\/p>\n

Lyle:<\/strong> Hi Drew. Thanks for designing this year’s WordCamp Philippines tee. Can you tell us about your design background?<\/em><\/p>\n

Andrew:<\/strong>\u00a0Before I got into web development I was interested in Graphic Design.
\nEver since college I was known as “the guy who designs”. \u00a0I did logos,
\nposters, banners for the school organizations I’m affiliated with.
\nIronically, I didn’t graduate with a Fine Arts degree (Ateneo de
\nManila didn’t offer it at that time). \u00a0My course was Management
\nEconomics. \u00a0But a few years later I flew to New York City to study
\nDigital Design at Pratt Institute. That was when I got really immersed
\ninto art and design. \u00a0Amusingly, my good grades also made me a partial
\nscholar and got me a few internships after graduation.<\/p>\n

Lyle:<\/strong> You’ve been our resident designer since the first WordCamp in the<\/em>
\nPhilippines. Where do you draw inspiration in designing these shirts?<\/em><\/p>\n

Andrew:<\/strong>\u00a0I would like to call my designs as “good accidents”. \u00a0In the case of
\nthe first WordCamp shirt I wanted to give it a local vibe by using the
\nWordPress logo and put rays around it like the sun found on the
\nPhilippine flag. \u00a0I was happy with it, but it wasn’t until I
\nunintentionally clicked on the splatter brush that it began to look a
\nlot cooler.<\/p>\n

Lyle:<\/strong> Tell us how you came up with this year’s design.<\/em><\/p>\n

Andrew:<\/strong>\u00a0While I was designing this one I used clean lines, shapes and bold
\ntypography, which are characteristic of old propaganda art. \u00a0I also
\nfind it relevant now that even our freedom to blog is being
\nthreatened. \u00a0More than ever, it is the right time to be nationalistic.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it is! So without further ado, I present this year’s WordCamp Philippines Shirt. Each registered camper<\/a> gets one!<\/p>\n
