- Book DesignI'LL SLEEP WHEN YOU SLEEP BRIEF Design and write a book about an inspirational person in your life. My book entails the life of Thulisile Nzimande- Anna Kabana. VISUAL TREATMENT White came through Anna’s descriptions of her fondest and saddest memories. Examples of these memories are: her father's emphasis on dressing neatly in white, the white Anna wears to church as she is apart of the Shembe community (a Zulu religious group) and her description of the white linen that is placed over someone’s body when they die as a sign of respect. The use of white overall represents innocence, purity, kindness and the afterlife. Along with the colour white, the treatment of the layout followed suit- minimalist. Through Anna’s stories I could almost feel the textures of what she was describing. An example of this is her description of the pap and steak meals her father use to make. This triggered my exercution style- close-up photography. I wanted to carry forward her descriptive narrative visually. BLURB “My sister you haven’t slept” “My Brother I’ll sleep when you sleep” Anna’s brother uttered this to her as he closed his eyes for the last time. He could now rest knowing she was by his side, holding his hand. This is a story about a courageous, kind and strong willed woman, Thulisile Nzimande- Anna. Anna is a caregiver and has graciously helped, loved and guided many loved ones in their last hours. For this reason she is a woman who deserves admiration. Wathint’ba Fazi, Wathint’mbokodo. You strike a woman- you strike a rock. Anna has experienced pain, heartache and struggle- That has never stopped her. And it never will.
- Infographic: The Toothless WonderINFORMATION GRAPHIC Dentist's suck! This is an info graphic of how I lost my tooth and repeatedly lost it due to the lack of dental care and pure bad luck. At the age of 12 my dentist removed the wrong tooth. This was the start of an expensive and painful 10 year journey. Braces followed my loss and spanned the gap from 2004 till 2007. In 2007 a plastic retainer provided embrassing and interesting first dates. I had a spot of luck when I found a talented dentist who could make a tooth out of anything. Dr. Wynberg always had patience with me every time I lost my tooth, even though I ate biltong, lost it down the drain and got merry at Oppi Koppi and still can't recall how I lost it. Sadly in 2011 Dr.Wynberg passed away, I no longer had my miracle worker. I had to face the world toothless for a while. 2013- the year of pain: operations, infections, operations, no tooth, big hole and metal retainers. 2014 this is the year of the new tooth.
- App: Scotty's FaceI N T E R A C T I V E A P P Yellow is informative. Yellow is alive. Yellow is joyful. Yellow is cowardice. Yellow highlights. Yellow is warm. Yellow is a colour that the eye struggles to see- most of all, yellow can be gross... to some. So, what’s gross but we all secretly love to do it? Popping spots, or even worse popping someone else’s spots. This is where Scotty comes in. Scotty is a very nerdy youngster who is about to go on his first date. Crisis- his face is covered in spots, his ears are stuffed with earwax and his nose is filled with boogers! Through three fun games, the interactive user can save the day.
- Design ActivismBRIEF To design and provide a counter narrative that encourages interaction, communication and a positive change in the way in which Hatfield Plaza, Pretoria (South Africa) is seen and experienced by locals and foreigners. CONCEPT A name dignifies a person. The Car Guardians name badge initiative aims to create a space where positive interaction and communication can take place between drivers and the car guards on Burnett street in Hatfield through the simple act of wearing a name badge.In addition to this idea, I designed a map that profiles who guards the different parking bays during the day. The profiling describes a brief background of each car guard thus encouraging further communication and meaningful interaction. I designed name badges for each car guard. I am hoping this initiative will lead to the formation of more personal relationships. .
