    Manita Songserm, Thailand (2019)

    Manita Songserm (b.1990) is a Bangkok-based graphic designer who started the career in 2013 as an exhibition graphic designer at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). Working with experimental concepts and also applying various methods, she created works that are in between art and graphic design, which has been her preference since she graduated from Chulalongkorn University. Her iconic work is perceived through typo-eccentric book cover design and personal art for Typewriter project. Having been appreciated in typography herself, she tries adapting the technique with her work. It becomes a mixture of neo-geometric digital, sometimes scientific too.
