2. ..and Mambo, I am a Website and Multime-
dia designer currently freelance partner-
ing with design & film agencies whilst
completing my BA Multimedia
Degree at Greenside Design
Center.
ViZion Communications is
a group of Independent
artists that provide,
Strategy, Design & Ex-
ecution for your brand.
Comprised of Graphic & Multimedia
Designers, Copyrighters, Art Directors
and Strategists we look at your product and
or service needs and create evolutionary
concepts that are relevant for your market.
We design Websites, Microsites, Video Fillers, Stop
Frame Animation, Illustrations, Infographics & 360 Degree
Activations and Print Campaigns.
We are a small flexible team who are passionate about our
work.
My studies in Creative Multimedia have enabled me to explore
many processes and disciplines within many areas of design.
I like to think that my Degree, IMM Diploma and Commercial
background in graphic design enables me to create web sites and
multimedia presentations that stand out and catch people’s eyes,
while still meeting client’s expectations for their projects.
Even though my passion lies in web design being able to commu-
nicate using a wide variety of media such as; image making, film,
photography, animation, 3D and sound editing, helps me
design to the requirements of inspiring briefs.
I work efficiently to tight deadlines and have the abil-
ity to work well both in a team and independently. I
am highly self motivated and enjoy the challenge of
designing and creating websites and campaigns
that meet all the requirements of a brief. I also have
the ability of learning software and processes very
quickly,
What I most love about design is that it is always
changing; each project that I am lucky enough to be
involved in creates new challenges, so every day is dif-
ferent and I am always learning something new.
What made me choose Design?
The Advertising Bug bit me! My journey into advertising
started 15 years ago then I followed digital design with the aim
of getting a BA Multimedia & Website degree over & above my
NTech IMM diploma.
I hope you enjoy the 10 non-commercial projects that I chose to
showcase, please log onto our website www.thevizion.co.za for

The Brief: The objectives of this project was to create an
iconic piece of creative work that is
fresh and relevant to today’s con-
temporary South African popular
culture.
Our contribution should carry a
meaningful message that con-
veys an issue significant to to-
day’s cultural socio-political
and economic climate.
In essence, the One
Small Seed com-
petition where
looking for a unique voice and fresh ways
of engaging and communicating
our message to our audience.
Rationale: By applying the
“Do not feed the workers.” mes-
saging, I was reflecting current societal
high class attitudes and perspec-
tives towards the lower working class. I was
just telling an uncomfortable truth I suppose.
This project continues the theme of ‘drawing’ with alternative media.
We had to create an illustration that
will successfully explore visual narrative
to capture the essence of an existing
rhyme.
Nursery rhymes are often viewed in a
nostalgic manner, which captures the
essence of childhoodness.
Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl
was one of my books as it tells
a story about Mr Fox and
how he outwits his farmer
neighbours.
Wit, charm & panache are the intrinsics of
Mr Fox that appealed to me
and inspired me to develop
this illustration.
The brief was to Create an OBAMA HOPE type of image
through a series of stencilling and rendering exercises.
We had to incorporate ONE word that encapsulates the mean-
ing, context and relevance of the final ‘stencilled’ image and apply it
on the cover of TIME magazine
Rationale: The growing popularity of Afrikaans Hip Hop still
fascinates me as diverse cultures are adopted
and accepted by the new Proudly South African
generation.
With Hip Hop being popular amongst Black &
Coloured peo- ple initially and currently being
embraced by Whites, Max Normal & Die
Andwoord are a reflection of transforming mind
sets in the new South Africa for me.
Their video becoming a viral phenomenon on
the internet was a digital success that I felt be-
fitted a feature on Time Magazine.
The Brief: In the computer world, we
have been introduced to the concept of
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You
Get) but as experience with monitors has
taught us, looks can be deceiving.
In this project we had to prove that looks
can indeed be deceiving, by using one image,
to create another.
Our challenge was to create a series of illus-
trations that will be used to ‘infest’ existing
photographic environments.
We had to create illustrations which begin
with an ink blot and eventually bring mon-
sters to life.

Lego Man:
What makes you tick?
Rationale: I am always behind the scenes making concepts happen,
my work experience at Gearhouse Durban not only exposed me to
the production of BIG concerts but the aura of big screen Multimedia
production.
The Brief: Whilst Building on my past illustration experiences, the brief
required me to produce an information graphic which provides insight
into what makes me unique. This needed mastering an existing illustra-
tion style that best related to my personality and the use of cut-away
technique to show basic anatomy.

5. This was an Exhibition Piece exploring colonialism and
post-colonialism within the contemporary context of globali-
zation.
Critical Studies is a theory & literature related coarse at
GDC which reviews and critiques the
dynamic evolution of cultural
messaging.
Topics ranging from Marx-
ism, Capitalism, Feminism
and Enlightenment , to
name a few , are unpacked
and explored. in this coarse
The brief for this essay was to look at the advent
of photography and the effect it had on the other.
I came across this
photograph taken
of my Mothers Great
Grandfather in the
1880’s. The Aura about
it is the hidden truth
behind the unwanted
power, photography
captures the Authentic-
ity of that moment that
dispels colonial myths.
I plan on embarking on
a crusade that aims to
collect such photo-
graphs and imagery
from various people
that participate.
This being Images that reflect the hidden class development
emergence that was quashed by Imperialism in Africa &
Southern Africa.

CD packaging of my
favourite band was the
essence of this brief.
Low end and high end
technology had to be
considered within the
design &
print.
My approach was aimed at being slick.
Slikour! Not only is his music good, but he
shares the Slick name that inspired the silver
rain drops for the CD sleeve.
The fold and
open of the
CD sleeve
has a mini
booklet that
opens out-
ward with a
hinged to it.
Look out for other variations in 2011.

develop a microsite

paign for young,

drinkers.
Rationale: Mash
Collaborations gives players the opportunity to
Choose, watch, rate, comment, and pass onto
others 2 of their favourite SA Music Groups
ranging from Kwaito to Rock. They get to
choose from 5 groups from Mandoza
(Kwaito), TKZ (SA Hop), The Parlotons (SA
Rock), Die Antwoord (SA Hop), BKL JKS
(SA Rock). The Most popular combinations
win prizes or get to see the collaboration live
in the making.
The Brief was to redesign the SABC logo and carry the
new look across the stations that are broadcasted.
Namely SABC 1, 2, 3.
Thereafter 10 second
fillers would have to de
created that would tie
in with the new image.
This new look would
then have to be acti-
vated across various
advertising
mediums.
Individuals are encouraged to submit ide-
as that would
address
any areas of
crime Since
crime is broad,
the metaphor
of a rat disturb-
ing a household
which then tries
to exterminate him
was the approach I took.
The solution being a smart cat being introduced which
then chases the rat away. So are you that cat?
30 second PSA: Clay Stop Frame Video was used here
to depict a young struggling star that shines as a result
of a bigger star show-
