Print Media
Alongside the digital media forms discussed
above, there remains to more conventional
form known as print media. Include here are
large-scale publications such as newspapers,
magazines, journal, books of all kinds, as well
as smaller-scale posters, brochures, flyers,
menus, and the like. Of course, all of these
now have their digital counterparts that may be
accessed and read on the internet.
Advertising
 One major field that still relies heavily on
print media is advertising. Despite the
soaring popularity and seemingly limitless
possibilities of online advertising and social
media, Philippine artists are still called
upon to create advertisements that will be
physically printed. These appear in
newspapers, magazines, posters,
brochures, and flyers—each with their
specific target readerships and markets,
and highly-specialized approaches for
reaching these target groups.
Activity 4
“Presenting Products/Services with a Cause”
1. The group members will decide on original
products or services can be presented as
supporting or advocating.
2. Using image capture and manipulation programs
discussed in Quarter II, the group members will
create their choice of posters, banners/streamers,
brochures, or print advertisements to present these
products/services with a cause.
3. The finished print advertisements will be turned
over to the Arts teacher for safekeeping until they
will presented as part of the culminating exhibit.
Comic Books
Another field of print media that highlights the
artistic gifts of Filipinos is that of comic books,
or komiks as they are locally referred to. The
popularity of Philippine comics began in the
1920s when Liwayway magazine started
featuring comic strips, such as Mga
Kabalbalan ni Kenkoy (The Misadventures of
Kenkoy) created by Tony Velasquez went on
to be recognized as the “Father of Filipino
Comics.”
Mga Kabalbalan ni Kenkoy
With the coming of the Americans to the country, local comics were
clearly influenced by popular U.S. comics with superheroes as the
main characters --- resulting in local counterparts such as Darna and
Captain Barbell.
Even decades before, however, komiks creators had already introduced characters,
themes, and story lines from Philippine folklore, mythology, and history. With books
and libraries not yet readily accessible to a majority of the Filipino public, comics
became a major form of reading material around the country, avidly read and shared
by young and old alike.
Innovation in Product and
Industrial Design
Yet another breakthrough arena for Filipino
imagination, ingenuity, and innovativeness in
recent decades has been that of design.
Specifically, this encompasses product and
industrial design as applied to furniture,
lighting, and interior accessories, as well as
fashion from haute couture to bridal
ensembles to casual wear. As a result, a
number of Filipino designers have risen to
superstardom both locally and internationally.
Kenneth Cobonpue Kenneth Cobonpue is a
multi-awarded furniture designer
and manufacturer from Cebu. He
graduated in Industrial Design
from Pratt Institute in New York
with highest honors and
subsequently worked in Italy and
Germany. Integrating locally
sourced materials with innovative
handmade production processes,
Cobonpue's brand is known
around the world for its unique
designs and roster of clientele
that include Hollywood celebrities
like Brad Pitt and members of
royalty.
MONIQUE
LHUILLIER
Monique Lhuillier
She first rose to prominence for
her exquisite wedding gowns.
But she has since become one
of the darlings of the Hollywood
celebrity set, with several A-list
stars having worn her couture
creations to gala events and
award shows, as well as to their
own weddings
Josie Natori
Josie Natori, (born Josefina Almeda Cruz)
is a Filipino-American fashion designer and
the CEO and founder of The Natori Company.
Natori served as a commissioner on
the White House Conference on Small
Business. In March 2007 she was awarded
the Order of Lakandula, one of the highest
civilian awards in the Philippines. In April,
2007, Natori received the "Peopling of
America" Award from the Statue of Liberty -
Ellis Island Foundation.
Rajo Laurel
Raymund Joseph "Rajo" Teves
Laurel (born May 19, 1971) is a fashion
designer in Manila, Philippines. He began his
professional career in 1993, holding his first
international exhibition the following year. In
2000 Rajo Laurel founded House of Laurel
with his sister. A winner of a number of
national and international awards over the
course of his career, Laurel is best known as
a television personality as a judge on Project
Runway Philippines.
Lulu Tan Gan
 Lulu Tan–Gan’s name has been
synonymous with beautifully crafted
knitwear fashion since 1985. Hailed the
‘Queen of Knitwear,’ Lulu continues her
design evolution with her extended
hand–woven line, “Indigenous Couture”
merging the old-world sophistication of
Philippine artisan craft with contemporary
design. The result is a mastery of
construction, current yet ingenious
lifestyle dressing, and a distinctive
feminine sensibility.
Dita Sandico-
Ong
 Another Philippine designer who has
been advocating the use of local
weaving techniques and natural fibers
is Dita Sandico-ong. Known as the
“Wrap Artiste” of the Philippines for her
famous bold-colored wraps, Sandico-
Ong first experimented with the local
weave of Ilocos Sur, known as Inabel,
as well as with pineapple fibers
blended with Irish linen, dubbed
piñalino.
