About
Sinawali is a web based experience that looks into the history and impact of Filipino Martial Arts. For my Bachelor of Design capstone project, I wanted to dedicate my final quarter to a subject deeply connected to my identity, culture, and childhood, leading to my deep dive into Filipino Martial Arts.


Inspiration
Throughout my design process, I drew inspiration from the vibrant colors found in Filipino Martial Arts uniforms and instructional books. The visual language of DVD instructionals, which are deeply embedded in Filipino Martial Arts culture, also played a significant role in shaping the project. Together, these references helped me land on a color palette, typeface, and overall aesthetic that felt grounded, intentional, and true to the subject matter.


UW Design Show 2024
Sinawali was presented amongst my graduating peers in the UW Design Show 2024 exhibition. The website was displayed alongside the posters, CRT TV, and eskrima sticks for participative use. I am thankful to have been able to display my work alongside all of the my classmates' wonderful projects, and am even more thankful to graduate with such passionate and inspired designers. Also, thank you to Farrel Sudrajat for the fantastic photos of the exhibit!
