CONCEPT NOTE BY MARI BOOTH

I  Filipino Design is an activity workbook for young and “young at heart” aspiring designers. The workbook features notable Filipino artists, designers, cultural artifacts, and modern artisanal products designed by Filipinos. The reader is taken on a journey of design and craft and encouraged to practice the art of design with the guided projects that appear after each design page. I  Filipino Design seeks to raise awareness about the excellence of Filipino design, and is available for purchase through Cebu Design Week, Inc., with all proceeds going to support the nonprofit design advocacy of CDW.

Here are some sample pages, courtesy of CDW and Mari Booth, for you to preview. To purchase a copy of I  Filipino Design, please contact CDW at www.cebudesignweek.com or send them a message on:
