Graphika Manila 2010 is the fifth installment of the Philippines’ premier multimedia design conference. Creative professionals and passionates will once again gather on August 7, 2010 at the SM Mall of Asia to be treated to a whole day of design wisdom and inspiration from both local and foreign talents.
