Through the collaborative effort of the Communicators’ Club, Bookworm Club, and Highschool Oration and Debate Society, a Webinar about Creative Process in Book Designing was conducted today, November 29, 2021, via zoom and FB Live.

Mr. Ryan C. Cuatrona, a 3D Generalist and Graphic Artist, was introduced as the guest speaker of the webinar. He shared his journey on book designing, including his works and designs of his own. He also lectured on the backgrounds of the books he designed and shared why did he pursue them and the reasons why we need to know the importance of book designing.

According to him, “You do not judge a book by its cover but, for us, designers, it’s important to make an effective design kasi ito ang unang nakikita.”

He also gave a deeper understanding of the 3 Main points in his profession; Design as Propaganda, Empathy and as Community Building. “May mga libraries na inaalisan ng libro. May mga taong takot sa libro. Kapag takot tayo sa libro, takot tayo sa taong nag-iisip,” Cuatrona added.

He concluded his talk with a quote from Karl Castro, “Design is not about how it looks but how it works.”
