liane aboitiz BIOGRAPHY In the fast-paced environment of the technology-driven and modern world today, what is considered the “latest trend,” seems to dictate what is deemed successful design. My personal design philosophy is all about staying true to oneself, which stems from my cultural background of growing up in the Philippines. Being proud of who I am and where I come from inspires me and serves as the backbone for my creative outlook as designer, and ultimately, as a person. I work with clean lines, bursts of color and varied textures to create graphic art that is meaningful, functional and balanced.

Growing up in a third world country has exposed my mind to think creatively, as I am more aware of the world in a larger perspective. My inspiration started from my upbringing in the island of Cebu. The small yet vibrant city thrives in an admiration of Filipino culture, infused with western influences. I appreciate how the city of Cebu was developed without completely changing its natural surroundings to accommodate the modern world. I was drawn to the balance of both city and nature, and respect how the people still carry around much of their culture. An avid traveler, I try and immerse myself in the people and cultures around me. My experiences have allowed me to mature and learn, where I try not to consider what is different as “foreign,” but rather as what I can gain as inspiration from.

The reason I am passionate about design is because I believe it has the ability to convey a particular vision and attitude through the harmony of words, colors, shapes and textures. I love how as designers, we have the power to influence ideas and rouse both controversy and creativity. My purpose as a designer is to successfully express a concept and communicate emotions through my work. I aspire to be perceived as a designer who is humble, passionately driven and inspired. I believe that an effective design should develop from not only from the appropriate needs of the client, but through collaboration with the vision of the designer.

I design with a sense of playfulness, using both typographical and visual elements to create layouts that are functional yet have an overall sense of balance.

I believe in the notion that a design as a whole should have rhythm and a sense of equilibrium. I act with this sense of stability to create a work of art that has direction and attraction. I rarely go with what is considered typical or safe, but try and push the boundaries to design without limitations.

MARIPOSA Mariposa is a new woman’s fragrance company that is specially designed for the lavish woman. The client’s personality is style-conscious and self-possessed. It speaks to the woman who knows what she wants and can afford the best of what is out in the market. The logo was designed to convey a sense of gracefulness and femininity. The colors used are lavender and a mix of red hues. The lavender suggests the softer side of a woman, while the red hues communicate the passionate nature of a woman. Organic lines are used to create a logo that abstractly resembles a butterfly to give off an exclusive feel.
