Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (2,500,000,000,000,000,000) bytes of data. If you were watching all this data on a high-definition TV, it would take close to 114,000 years to consume. It is essential that only the most important bits of information reach you at the right time and the right place.
PICD (pronounced ‘pi-see-dee’) is an abbreviation for Paper and Ink Centre for Design.
At PICD, it is about creating simpler, meaningful solutions to everyday challenges. We see ourselves as catalysts in the process of improved visual perception and presentation.
