ADA Testimonials

I was delighted to see ADA making an effort to bring the “Younger Generation” of Pakistan on a public platform. It was high time that somebody did take up a stance and produced a positive outlook of this country’s present and future generations especially when a huge wave of political turmoil is engulfing us from all sides.

It was this first theme issue of ADA that will infuse a lot of hope, goodwill and strength in our young and happening designers/ professionals. It always helps an individual to strive for more when due recognition and apt acknowledgement is given to one’s achievements, and it is this chord that ADA has struck with showcasing the works of the new generation under “Generation Next”. Another heart warming aspect was that Pakistani designers corresponded from all over the world to help ADA in its feature issue. We as a nation stood up!!

ADA in itself has come a long way and we all hope that it continues to serve the professionals and the nation for a long time to come.
