Vive Journal Design Contest 2020

Journal Design Contest 2020

Vive has led the way forward in carrying the flag of local stationery design and production companies since 2009. We started with the simple idea of creating artisan stationery products that we can call our own and share it with everyone. Our focus is on promoting responsible principled thoughts and lifestyles, using our products as the creative medium.

 

Right from the beginning, our design ideas have always focused on simplicity, versatility, functionality and utility. We are constantly creating designs that are inspired by the ideal world that can transcend the test of time. There were many instances when we encountered challenges during the thought processes in the quest to create great stationery.

 

With that in mind, we have identified that collaboration with like-minded and upcoming designers could pave the way to a world of outstanding creativity and creations. Come join us on this adventurous journey!
