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.

Lucas Pereira has shared a cool what he would call a 'mood study' about light and compositions to create cinematic looks with cats. I think they are super well done and cute to look at. I was obviously drawn to the ones that aspire to any Tokyo and Blade Runner atmosphere. What do you think?

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).
