How to use a camera, sis!

Hi again. Here is one of my random shots I took when teaching my sister how to use a SLR camera. She is pretty good in photography, guess it runs in the family. Well, I showed her how shutter speed works and what Aperture does. She nailed it and took beautiful pictures! So here is something random, but loving it.

Urban/Nature follow-up

Experimenting with drawing objects and different mediums I mixed it up with placing it on my photographs and the results was kinda awesome. It was interesting to see how drawings can change into something else instead of it just sitting on the paper. New ideas can come up which can help a lot when designing something new. Try it, I recommend it!

My concept was a rhetorical question that asks the question if the nature in the picture you see is really true? We as humans place plants and nature in places it shouldn't be or we put it to make it look natural, but does it really?

Enjoy the final photographs!

Urban/Nature Photography

This was something new to me. I usually take pictures that I love and what I feel looks good, but for this project I had to challenge myself to start getting creative with composition. Anyway, I didn't understand what was expected of me but what I do know is that I could have taken photographs!!! :-D

So it's all about finding urbanized buildings or scenes that was inspired by or have some kind of relation to nature. Keeping in mind that this project would be integrated with the next drawing project we had to come up with some sort of statement that was communicated through the images. So here is my top 3 photographs that I chose for my final.

Data Visualization: Unemployment

Hi guys! So this is the first time for me to design an infographic.

This project was aimed at collecting raw data from a social issue of choice. I choose to unemployment in South Africa because it is such a big issue. Every South African knows this a massive issue but do they really? That is why I thought to bring this issue to front and make people more aware of it.

I went with a clean vector look so it is easy to read but also to make it look professional, because I think we have to address this issue professionally and quite serious. After a lot of research I narrowed down my questions and kept it straight to the point and easy to understand as well. Here is the final, check it out and feel free to tell me what you think;

Till Later!
