First, you need to figure out what you want.

If you don't know, how will you go looking for it?

If you wait for it to come to you, how will you know when it's arrived?

The Information Design people are right. TeamManila has lost it's edge. I am very disappointed.

TeamManila has lost it's edge. I am very disappointed.

Some of the designs still are up to par (multipurpose anting-anting comes to mind) but for the most part I can see a lot of copy/pasting going on.

I got a few shirts from them back when the going was good though so it's not a total loss.

True. Personally I have two of what I think are their best works. The Heroes tee and the From Batangas with Love tee.

I believe that the voting process and their desire to create marketable graphics have destroyed their artistic vision. How creative is slapping the Jose Rizal bust or the word "Manila" on a t-shirt? And worse, some of their other designs just don't make sense. "I (bust of Jose Rizal) PH"? What the hell? And lets not forget the "SOMA: South of Manila" t-shirt which is such a tacky SoCal (Southern California) rip-off for the feeling-'kano crowd.

But yeah, I'm still holding out for hope. I try my best to buy local after all.

punta ka ng Cubao X/Marikina Shoe Expo. Check out Future Prospects, Chunky Far-Flung Gallery, and Datelines. You might find some interesting shirts there.
