CHALLENGE: Coming from the A'Design awarded original design back in 2013, we decided to redesign the whole site to have a sleeker more magazine look that will also work for mobile and tablet devices, to capture the strong mobile traffic of the Philippines and South East Asia. It took a few months to envision some of the changes to the site which we relaunched back in September 2014.
