Tlekeke Cover Design

Client Challenge: Motswako rapper Khuli Chana, had a single release on Africa Day and asked us to design artwork for the single called “Tlekeke” with a very short time to turn it around. We brought it, for a fierce Motswako Originator who we are proud to call our friend and client.

Our Solution: Inspired by the African continent, we created artwork that included the featured artists on the single. It was released on Africa Day. We incorporated bold visuals and colours to be inline with the message the artists wanted to get across.

Dave’s approach

The brown background represents the earth and African land. This is juxtaposed by my signature, unapologetic, bright painted typography effect that gives credence to featured artists’ own colourful and lively approach to the song.
