Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans

Cover Design and Digital Content Design

Client Challenge: Coming up with a cover design that encapsulates the spirit of the chosen 200 young South Africans.

Our Solution: We used the Baobab tree as the central figure for the design. As a giver of life and an important part of natures eco-system, it represents growth and patience

Dave’s approach

As an alumini of the 2015 list, I was tasked with creating something that slightly leans towards my signature style. I kept it clean, keeping Mail and Guardian’s  audiencein mind.

Stogie T: Honey&Pain

Poster Design

Client Challenge: Coming up with music artwork that accompanies the music on Stogie T’s mixtape

Our Solution: Keeping in line with the theme of the Title track; “Honey & Pain,” we visually explored his theme of duality. We used symmetry in design and strong contrasts between dark and light colours in our pallete. All visual elements were referenced from the lyrics in the respective songs on the mixtape.

Dave’s approach

I kept the colours more muted, in contrast to my usual bright style. I tried to be more conceptual and maintain Stogie T’s intergrity visually.
