“…of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. “As a man thinks, so is he.” These are two profound statements while growing up that I used to think were stupid. I’ve always been a curious cat. I will never swallow anything hook, line and sinker because I prompt myself towards critical thinking. Back in…
Like it or not, you don’t get taught how to become visually literate in school. It’s all up to you. Growing up, I pestered my Dad to buy the VW Santana because it looked sleeker than the Peugeot Evolution he’d intended to buy as a second car. I saw a Santana recently and it looked…
What’s the matter you’d ask?The logo on the branded bag used to deliver my sister’s beautiful canvass from the retailer incorporated the Apple News logo into its own. Is this the first time I’ve seen something like this? Matter of fact, this mess happens everyday. In 2016, the popular Nigerian music duo BRACKET, staged a…

Kindly give me a moment to build a solid narrative. Here goes. Some people have asked me, “Dayo Abiola, how do you keep up with your consistency on social media and still work at creating world-class logos?” No doubt, the task of delivering one #logo is enough to take you days off social media. My answer, I…

I was always excited about birthday parties. I mean which kid isn’t. I particularly looked forward to two things; dance and cake. When it was time to share the cake, I expected a generous slice since there was usually more than one cake. However; it never happened, rather ice cube-like cuts were distributed to the…
“Daddy, I think God must have had sparkles in his pocket, took a dip to fetch some and spread it into the sky or how else could he have made the stars?” At this moment, walking home from the neighborhood grocery shop at twilight, I couldn’t help but interrupt the relative quietness around us with…
