Tommy Ng is a web designer residing in Malaysia currently. Having done websites for the likes of Seksan Design and ADverse, Tommy weaves simplistically soft websites that always enhances the user interface and content first. Most of his websites that hes conceived are built in html and are built in a very minimalist aesthetic to enhance the client's service or products. Overall a fresh of breath air from the normal bombarded flash websites.

Came across Samuel sometime back in deviantart and his work has definitely matured over the years Samuel's work effortlessly oozes a sense of eclectic youth producing some rather interesting and refreshing web layouts for myspace and websites as well as some beautiful commercial photography. Do check him out, this is one talented young designer we should keep an eye on overseas.
KL SING SONG 2007 and more updates
We've been pretty busy.
Considering that we've just graduated a month ago and had the feeling of uncertainty looming over us regarding our future of whether we should start up our own studio or enlist ourselves into the companies out there already. And here we are, a month later both working(one flew back to his roots kuching, while the other remains in KL).
I've just recently completed a co missioned work 'KL SING SONG 2007' for a local music concert. I've created their promo items for the concert and did an e-flyer (image - below), that could be turned into a CD album later on. Do check out the show as it showcases talented local singer songwriters from the likes of Pete Teo to Shanon Shah to Mei Chern at KLPAC. For more details click here.
In other news, iDN will be holding a competition for their 15th Anniversary, the theme will be 15 and designers can feel free to express themselves visually by any means (graphics, photography, illustrations, animations, typography, etc). Winning entries will be showcased in the magazine later on, for more info do go to iDNproshop. Deadline is 31st August, we do hope you all participate and send in some extraordinary original design pieces, we will definitely and when we finish we'll post it up here.
In other news, we found a local advertising local agency called grass-studios with a cheeky little website. The website sprouts out little mischievous garden gnomes, but on a serious note the company is ranked the 6th best advertising agency in Malaysia in 2004, with an impressive array of clients from universal records, to salem recharge. We feel the gnome needs deserve your attention so go see here already.
And last but not least we leave you a wonderful site conceived from the courtesy of nike malaysia. A friend sent us the link for this website, and we have to say its one of the most beautiful pieces that has even come out of nike in a very long time. The website's overall conceptually aesthetic outlook is quite breathtaking, and overall I believe it really encaptures the essence of our local culture of malaysia and how malaysian people play football here locally. Very engaging and beautiful illustrations as well. Enjoy dan jangan togel!
A thousand apologies..and two events!
Hello everyone,
We apologise for going away for so long without leaving a note, we just really needed to take a few steps back as our attention was diverted to college, graduation (finally) and work for quite sometime. We really couldnt commit ourselves fully to the blog as it took alot out of us and we needed some quiet time recollect our thoughts as well as re-energise ourselves. After a long mental rest, we've decided to dive back in and keep doing what we did earlier last year. So before you send us to the corner we'll leave you with these:
Galleriiizu's Opening at Central Market
We arrived 730 for an event called 777 by Galleriiizu @ Central Market last night. 777 is basically the launching day of Galleriiizu’s new Digital Art Gallery at Central Market Annexe.This is the first 100% dedicated Digital Art Gallery in Asia. When we got there, there were a wide array of people about oogling at the speakers (and girls of course) and others busy scuttling around the tables registering for Galleriiizu's mailing list. Needless to say, its a good thing to see many designers gather together in one area to support something. Central Market is a beautiful place to actually have a design gallery for many reasons, as the location and demographics of the area (its in the central city of kl where alot of foreigners and locals pass by using different transport systems) and alot of our local cultural heritage surrounds that place such as dataran merdeka, chinatown, masjid jamek and so forth. We even had the pleasures of musicians performing one floor the opening and after the opening speeches and a small motion graphics trailer they opened their doors to the public. People swarmed into the small galleriez busy gazing at the posters designed by local and foreign designers while we had some local DJ's spin the night away.
