Graphic design is a rising enterprise in most parts of the world. With loads of multilingual typography designers emerging, we have but an abundance of skilled artists who are ready to revolutionize the print and online media in the 21st century. The Asian continent has no dearth of talented graphic and logo designers either. Today we bring you twelve such individuals with promising portfolios from the heart of Asia; i.e. Malaysia.
A large number of Malaysian creatives are coming forward with the help of design crowdsourcing websites. Crowdsourcing design may have been an alien idea a decade ago, but as of today, it is one of the most sought-after practices in online communities. Designers are getting exposure far and wide by starting their careers with international clients from the beginning.
If you don’t agree, just sign up on a reliable design crowdsourcing platform and browse through the open contests. Competent logo designers from around the world set up their design portfolios and gain experience by dealing with multicultural contest holders. This helps them greatly in later years when they establish personal business as a polished designer.
Apart from crowdsourcing, you will also find some amazing Malaysian portfolios on different design websites, such as, Behance, Dribble, etc. Most of the artists we have selected can be found on multiple platforms. Check out their work!

Hi there.
Great post!! I understand this comment is 2 years late, but I was looking up on Malaysian government websites and started thinking about why does it look soooo..... cluttered (this is the nicest way I could put it), and thinking about how some Malaysians definitely have good taste in aesthetics an are skilled in graphic and web design (sadly, I am not part of this group of people), yet the gov sites are still like so.
Do they not have the budget to have well designed sites, is it not of importance, or do the good designers not want to associate themselves with the gov?
I have great respect to everyone that designs any website, but I just think we/they could do much better.
It would be nice to know what are peoples thoughts on this matter.
Its called Genaration Y .. all they want is a functional website... thats what i thought
