Eakkarlak Sangtongchai (Bangkok, Thailand)
"If asked to name a marked Thai characteristic, I would say simplicity of lifestyle is something that we have in common – the ability to adapt to our surroundings, whatever they may be."
After graduating in visual communication arts at Assumption University in Bangkok, Eakkarlak Sangtongchai worked as a graphic designer before finding his real niche – in textile design. However, fabric is not the only kind of canvas for him; he also works closely with Thai magazines, contributing illustrations and drawings.

Unchalee "Leee" Anantawat (Bangkok, Thailand)
"For me, it doesn't really matter whether my work represents 'Thai-ness' or any particular traditions, so long as it conveys my ideas. It may be a bit of a cliché, but I consider myself to be a citizen of the world, so I don’t see any great need to show my own culture in my work."
Denzil & Siddhi (Mumbai, India)
"Most sexual graphics if not designed well end up looking crass and repulsive. If the graphic makes one feel uncomfortable then the focus on the message is lost, too. Which is why sexual graphics are misunderstood and are a taboo in many cultures."
Whatever is required, from branding and identity to digital, editorial or environmental design – or, just as likely, an inter-disciplinary approach involving them all – Berg will tailor its approach to "work seamlessly across a wide range of media".
Tarin Yuangtrakul (Bangkok, Thailand)
"The most important thing is to keep trying. We have to work hard on something until it gets done successfully. At my age, I can still afford to indulge in trial and error. You have to fail sometimes. It is what is called experience!"
In 2010, with a selection of 15 fonts specially created for print, screen and the environment that can be downloaded, a new type foundry was set up by the couple, called A2-Type. It will release new faces at regular intervals, allowing readers to sign up for notification of them on the website.
Ise Ratta Ananphada (Bangkok, Thailand)
"We have a rich artistic heritage and I sometimes utilise elements from this in my work. But I believe that true creativity comes from the heart. It is not a duty but a mirror into our soul. You could take 10 Thai artists and their work would all be different, but it is enough to know that it has been produced by Thai artists."
