Cubepixels Design Studio’s Ray Rubio has done it again! Last year’s Corel-centric event for graphics designers in Davao is now followed-through by this year’s CorelWORLD in Davao 2007. In cooperation with Canadian software giant, Corel, and WordText Systems Inc. (WSI), Cubepixels has organized another successful event for the benefit of Davao’s graphics designers and animators.

From 5 to 6 October 2007 at the NCCC Mall, CorelWORLD featured poster and logo design contests; technical seminars on the latest in graphics design; and talks by Rubio, Corel’s Ram Kumar (Regional Manager, South East Asia and India), the city government c/o Vice-Mayor Sara Duterte and Maikee Aportadera, WordText’s Jane Orejola, and yours truly. •••Read on»

Over coffee and later on dinner, we had hours of animated discussions ranging from industry secrets to hilarious anecdotes. Christopher Cubos of Fwendz.com, among other things, and Kenneth Ong, my erstwhile partner in one of Davao’s earliest web design outfits and now holds his own as a respected commercial graphics designer, were in attendance. Too bad, though, that Ray Rubio of Cubepixels wasn’t able to join us. I’d also invited Ray because he was a first-prize awardee by Corel in an international contest this prestigious brand held a few years back.
