WEBSITE PROJECTS

To me, the most exciting thing about a website is the possibility that ANYONE ON PLANET EARTH can visit it. It has the potential to be a communication power tool. Your website should serve as the home base for all your online marketing efforts to point to – with the information about your business, products and services that your clients are searching for.

ALMA MATER - Nelson Mandela University // I read y

ALMA MATER - Nelson Mandela University // I read yesterday that @mandelauniversity ranks
#13 in "Best Universities in South Africa" and #1254 in "Best Global Universities".
Isn't it just so beautiful that this institution carries the name of such a great man? Nelson Mandela fought for an equal and just society for all, and after apartheid ended, pursued reconciliation, peace and nation building.
I paid my own way through Uni with small academic discounts, waitressing and later freelancing as an illustrator. It was struggle-bus years, but that's great for character building.
I completed the NMU media, culture and communications degree (BA MCC) in 2008. I was hired for my first job from the 2nd year Design and Layout class and with that my freelance career was off to the races.
I'm grateful that I was able to get my start there, along with a diverse group of friends made up of other working class kids from all over the city. I remember fondly all the hours spent reading the daily papers and studying in the library basement, discovering graphic design in the media labs and many afternoons spent waiting for a lift outside the Embisweni building.

It's the last week of Setting Season* for me and t

It's the last week of Setting Season* for me and the pressure is ON! Shout out to Adam Young (@owlcityofficial) for creating the perfect soundtrack for deep thinking work through his 2016 Scores project.
My top 3 are:
🛩️ Project Excelsior
🚀 Apollo 11
🛰️ Voyager 1
In fact, Voyager 1 is my personal favorite. It takes my brain for a walk across our solar system. Pale blue dot is my favorite track - it's inspired by the very last photo Voyager took of earth before moving too far away from us... 🌍
*Every year since 2011 I set national exam papers for the DHET for NCV Graphic Design Levels 2-4. This is a gargantuan task, but it is one I relish and feel privileged to do.
Graphic Design is a creative industry that requires technical skills. Setting papers for Graphic Design students creates a rare opportunity for me to look at my field from a more academic, intellectual perspective.

Another heavy loss in the same week. Rest in power

Another heavy loss in the same week.
Rest in power @chadwickboseman.
We are overcome with sadness over this unexpected loss. Thank you for showing us a different type of hero.
---
When we saw Black Panther in 2018, I was inspired with pride and hope for Africa. Finally, an aspirational black hero. Wise power. Sacrificial leadership and collective progress. An African country taking leadership on the world stage in a way that seems possible. An African country providing aid and investing in the poor in a "first-world" country. Subvert those stereotypes!
And then all the little aesthetic details… the familiar sounds, patterns, languages – in the fictional Wakanda I saw my Africa lovingly represented and celebrated on screen in a way it has never been before.
I couldn't help wonder what this continent would have been if my forefathers didn’t arrive here to conquer, take and subdue... What if we arrived as friends, trade partners, with respect, mercy and humanity...
Despite this, I saw a powerful vision and prophetic call for the Africa of today to rise up, radiating with the anointing of God, a call for the people of this continent to get up from their knees and to take their rightful place in the world.
As in the movie, I know my place in this revolution as a white African, is a minor supporting roll, should I choose to accept it. (Klaw or Everett - we need to pick a side).
And yes, I take up the call. I’m here for it.
Rise Africa, rise.

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Sir Ken Rob

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Sir Ken Robinson earlier this week. He gave the most popular TED talks of all time on schools and creativity (with more than 66 million views) and shifted my thinking both as a parent and a creative.
I enjoyed his way of weaving together storytelling, humour and his keen insight into the radiant, playful and creative nature of children, to help us see what role creativity can and should play in education.
Rest in peace Sir Ken.
