graphic design

HWAL shared this poster design 5 years ago. Yes, you heard it right, it was back in 2015 but it looks as fresh as if it was done yesterday. It goes back to the principle that good design (in this case graphic design) is long lasting. The complementary colors, subtle gradient and beautiful composition are a perfect recipe for that.

In Singapore, over 3 million people a day travel via taxis, buses and trains – and many of these links are owned by transport behemoth ComfortDelGro (CDG).
