what do you think?

the new era design

how do we describe the meaning of new era?

for me, new era is a world surrounded by technology that awaits you either to help you up or push you to the ground.
it is depend on our way to use, manipulate or take advantage of it.
its never wrong to take advantage as long as you realize on what you standing on.

the world full of hypocrite, plastic white peoples that awaits you to lose your focus and just stab you from back.

the design for this era are much more complicated due to competitors strength and the way peoples nowadays communicate.
the design are not limited. so designer can use what ever medium or media they like.

so...., go on and beat it.
create the best design and don't be scared to what peoples might thinks..

but...,
beware...!!!!!!
