Content Design
Client Challenge: To design a key visual/poster that will be translated into other branded collateral.
Our Solution: By combining illustration and photography, we created quirky unique visual elements that tie in with the comedic talent of Trending Comics.
Dave’s approach
I tried to make the imagery light-hearted with my whimsical illustrations to overlap the photography.
Presentation Design
We were lucky enough to be involved in a few touchpoints at the One Source Live Festival, read about our collaboration below:
Client Challenge One: VWV Group, a global brand experience agency, required creative direction, input, design and layout for a pitch presentation for Absolut Vodka’s inaugural One Source Live Festival. Our ECD SJ was part of the brainstorming phase, while Dave designed the presentation under the direction of the one and only creative genius Takunda Bimha who headed up the winning strategic team.
Our Solution: Our team designed the layout and style of the creative pitch proposal, drawing on the highly-conceptual future-Africa theme of the One Source Live brand in South Africa, while incorporating a fresh and futuristic approach on all visuals.
Dave’s approach
The simple vector linework, coloured in-line with the Absolut’s corporate identity, had to be set against darker backgrounds like charcoal and black for it to stand out and have a bit of character, while keeping in mind the contemporary, clean but creative approach of the client’s signature approach to their visuals.
SJ’s thoughts
I love being involved in a project’s ideation phase and then seeing a team bring it to life in the way this event was organised. Takunda Bimha, Chrissy Dransfield and the VWV team paid the highest attention to detail, paying homage to the artists and creators who exhibited and performed on the day. Plus, I had such a blast at the event itself. Levels.

Exhibition Stand Wallpaper Design
Client Challenge: To create a unique, 3 panel exhibition stand that shows off our client’s partners and suppliers in creative way.
Our Solution: A detailed, flat vector style map illustrated with Gauteng’s unique landmarks.
Meghaa’s approach
I identified different landmarks in Gauteng and I illustrated them in an iconic stye to create a mini detailed map.
Commissioned Artwork – Global Challenge
Client Challenge: Adobe and Coca-Cola briefed 15 creative professionals from Spain to Germany, South Africa to Japan, to develop an inspired work of art. The aim was to call on other artists to create crafted content to benefit a meaningful cause, The 2020 Special Olympics.
David’s illustration on the dedicated project page along with the other 15 global creatives & public submissions
Our Solution: Referencing from Japanese watercolour art, David chose to use the red circle as the sun. This is consistent with the motto for the Olympic games: Discover Tomorrow, where the rising sun element represents a new day. For the main focal points of the artwork, he took visual cues from old and modern Japanese architecture, highlighting Tokyo’s aesthetic.
Quotation from David:
I took visual cues from the iconic red circle on the Japanese flag. It’s a very strong graphic element and I digitally painted it with a watercolour effect that pays homage to the Japanese style and approach to their art. My starting point was representing that element as the rising sun.
