Iconic Redesign

We had a project to redesign an iconic brand in SA and come up with an advertising solution for the brand, we had a choice between: yum yum peanut butter; Mageau no 1; Glenryck Pilchards and Ouma rusks. I chose Ouma rusks and recreated the packaging and came up with an advertising solution of remembering your first time you had an Ouma. My Idea could be interpreted in various ways and for me was the best solution for topical advertising, I had various ideas for the slogan "Remember your first dip" was my final decision. It could have been edgy or really simple I chose to stick with simple because as a brand Ouma really isn't edgy it is a more traditional brand and maybe if need be it could be a bit tongue and cheek but not as daring as brands like Nando's. So thats is why my advertising is simple and clean.

Longboard Adverts

 

These were adverts that we had to do for college, we had to create long board adverts and logo for a magazine. I was stuck whether I should use the black or green stripe but personally I prefer the green stripe maybe because I kinda like the colour green that might be it or because it looks better.

Musical Posters

 

Typography posters have been plaguing my mind for the past three weeks and this is the final product of my hard labour.  Though I must say creating this pinstripe texture was a pretty amazing feeling even though it was just me recreating a texture from the net

Vitamin Water with an Interesting Twist

In the world of designing, remaking or re-branding a concept might just be the boost a product needs to increase sales, but one must be careful for re-branding consists of a whole lot more than just a logo.
In this instance we had to re-brand a famous brand but with a twist e.g. meat flavoured bubblegum, onion scented soap etc. I chose one of my favourite drinks Vitamin Water and decided to re-brand it
and the twist is flavour specific but the general twist is instant intelligence. Basically my product has a chemical in it that allows you to utilize the full power of you brain instantly hence the inspiration for the name of my product Brain[HI]Dr8. Sounds too good to be true well it is for the side effects can be a real pain!

Fainting apple has the tendency well to make people faint instantly after drinking.. But you will become intelligent!

 Heartburn lemon tends to give our customers severe heartburn instantly... But you will become intelligent!

 although It seems very hydrating Dehydrate Grape dehydrates you instantaneously... But it will make you clever!   

 Bladder berry is slightly embarrassing because you lose control of you bladder instantly... But it will make you clever

Desktop Simplicity

 It is the simple designs that require the most complex minds to create and although these are seemingly simple, to actually create them is not.

Corporatally Identified

  

Identifying oneself corporately is a major part of a Designers career

also it is one of the most difficult tasks to complete. This is the struggles

of my hard labour and our first project back at college.  

 

iChurch

  This is a poster I did for church. I am aware of the plagiarism with the apple logo

but it is for church and not an ad campaign...I'm just saying.

These banners were for a music preaching series in youth called Uncut

it was my first project for youth

Th(ink) Poster

A socially responsible poster designed by me for class. It was really difficult taking the photo because I at the time didn't have enough knowledge on photographic lighting, I also didn't have enough lights.But I feel I got the message across

One of my proud moments last year was when I completed this poster,
it was for  an energy drink brand we had to create for class . I had some difficulty portraying an abstract idea and feeling rather than a tangible thing.











This was my funky moment this year
I got asked to do some graphics for church so I was able to get in touch with my young self I really had to wing this one because I didn't have allot of planing time. But I feel it was successful

"Virgin" Inspiration

In class we got asked to recreate a logo completely on Illustrator with simple shapes, we also got told that the font also had to be done completely with shapes and the manipulation of shapes unto that we also had to come up with different colour arrangements. So I chose the logo of a brand that I completely look up to. Virgin to me is the epitome of branding throughout all their numerous products all the branding and advertising has a similar concept and simple idea. Virgin to me is also one of the biggest brands that encapsulates an entire lifestyle from services to products and does it in a seamless effortless way.
