The brief
Show us what makes you an individual. Is it your heritage, your friends, your family? Is it what you love, your memories, your passions? Perhaps it’s the town you grew up in, or the languages you speak? It could be all of them; it could be one of them. What makes you an individual is what makes you different.
I submitted this design, made especially for the project:
And this is why it represents me:
This is a fantasy abstract self-portrait, exploring personal decoration, fashion and styling. It’s modern interpretation of tribal culture through graphic design.
I’m interested in how different cultures decorate themselves with jewelry, body markings, body modifications, patterns, piercings, masks, painting, tattoos, and headgear.
There is a lot of debate around modern African design aesthetic. I’m not claiming to know what it is or have the answer, but it is something I’m interested in exploring.
The graphic style is inspired by the bold geometric patterns, shapes and colours that are found in many traditional cultures. I also drew inspiration from the dynamism in Modernist Art.
I don’t necessarily have these ideas and academic references at the front of my mind when I design - they are just general themes I’m interested in exploring visually.
Vote for me!
and help me get in the national team of Design Superstars - your vote will influence the jury’s decision.
Thank you! :)
