A SERIOUS STUDIO PROJECT
Manila, Manila, and More is a travel guide made for tourists and tourists in their own country published by Summit Media.
THE OBJECTIVE
When conceptualizing the creative direction, it was important that the book reflect the spirit and charm that makes Manila what it is. Through a vibrant and maximalist approach, we embodied the life, excitement, and grit found in every corner of the city.
