Women’s Month

Social Media Content

Client Challenge: We’ve had a special place in our hearts for PowerFM 987, our ECD and co-Founder SJ Boden was one of the first studio guests on Tim Modise’s inaugural show on day one of the official on-air broadcast and our superstar co-Founder and Chief Illustrator David Tshabalala has been interviewed on air about his craft too. So it was with gusto and delight that we were asked to produce some social media content for the station to laud Women’s Month in SA under the hashtag #987Women in 2016.

Our Solution: Power FM invited female guest speakers to be a part of their radio station for Women’s Month and we were tasked with creating the content campaign for it.

We used a simple, bold design that stood out from the dark charcoal background. We edited part of the photography to add a radio element.

Global Illustration 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.

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.

2017 Annual Report

Client Challenge: Crisis Action is a non-profit organisation that aims to protect civilians from armed conflict. The team approached us to create their 2017 annual report to shed light on their work, using our distinct visual approach, while respecting the sensitive subject matter.

Our Solution: In order to fulfill the requirements of the brief, we identified three main visual directions to effectively communicate Crisis Action’s work:

  • Photography
  • Illustration
  • Data Visualisation

Quotation from David:

We benchmarked our approach against other annual reports and noticed that for ours to be unique, we needed to seamlessly integrate crafted graphs, iconography and illustrations to sit nicely and juxtapose with the existing emotive photography.
