Hello! my name is Roman Po
PROMPT DESIGNS© started December of 2003. I decided to put up this site as my online work portfolio for others to view, appreciate or ignore but it has evolved now as a freelance opportunity for me. As you may have noticed, my forte are fun and clean designs.
So why PROMPT hmm... I chose prompt designs because art came to me as a dynamic form which inevitably changes by time and I believe that creating art, in any medium, must be fast and flexible to adapt changing and challenging times.
Actually the "Prompt" word contained by nickname, surname and middle initial anagram-style, that was just actually the simple reason behind the name, nothing fancy or idealistic.
Frequently asked questions
I started doing graphic design first when I was in 3rd year high school, at age 16 or 17. I enjoyed copying movie titles in then Photoshop 5. I would copy it exactly, detail upon detail, from the font, to the shadows, the colors and all. I would then save and collect them to show it off to my brother who is also into graphic design. I was fond of playing with texts and typography that it eventually led to learning website design and coding since typography ruled the web in its early days (it still is). After high school I enrolled a multimedia arts course for college, then from there, everything fell in it's place.
I still don't know CSS quite well to do a pure-CSS website. This website uses them but sparingly and sometimes cluelessly. I want to learn After Effects to do some motion graphics like the ones on Belief. I also want to learn basic to advance PHP. I also want to learn silkscreen printing for shirts. (already know a bit), I also want to....
Probably 20 years older and has hopefully learn some of those I've written above.
Jesus, my family and friends and also other artists who contantly strive to improve the status of graphic design around the world, especially in the Philippines.
My other inspirations are the designs coming from Microsoft and Apple. These guys do know their aethetics.

Nothing really. I would just like to say that my youth-oriented website Youth Cafe Online was recently featured on PixelBureau.com and Screenspire.

Not enough. Help me....please...
Sure you can...but i'll still do freelance okay?! Got a job!
If I just got a dollar for everyone who asks me that, I'd already have $10...just for a day. Just a dumb question that just makes me smile wondering if they're really serious or just clowning around.
