Charles Tan and Mia Tijam's Philippine Speculative Fiction Sampler is up. It features works of horror, fantasy, and science fiction from various Filipino authors.
Plugging it for another reason, too: I made the template for the site. (I guess that proves I actually can move beyond white background templates -- *snicker*).
After thinking through various patterns, I struck on the bright idea of using alibata characters. I used the most excellent alibata resource, Ating Baybayin, as my reference.
The alibata isn't just random, either. They actually mean something. Can you guess what?
Yay, I'm a graphic designer now.
(By the way, the cover art is by Andrew Drilon.)
How very... nationalistic. :)
ReplyDeleteJust a little homage to local culture.
ReplyDeleteI was referring to what the Alibata characters spelled out, really.
ReplyDeleteNice design man. Any chance I can commission you for a nice blog template design? :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I tried using your tri-column template but it seems like it doesn't like my interface. :-(
Sure thing, BC!
