"Being South African" poster

First I designed a 3D illustration. I took a box and filled it with all things that represent South Africa using different media.

Next i designed a typography poster using different media. I wrote a poem that explains my definition of being South African which was included in the typography poster.

The poem is as follows:

If I had a different name of if I had a different face

If I lived in a multi-cultural place

In a place where together we are strong

because the road that lies ahead is long

This is where my friends and I have met

and this is where my life is set

We have fun while we play the game

because black and white we're all the same

If vuvuzelas weren't played so loud

could I still say i'm South African and proud

And as we raise our flag up high

our spirits will never be shy

So if the people of South Africa were left just to be

If ever I lived in a different place would i still be me?

Then using Photoshop I combined the 3D illustration box and the typography poster to create a "Being South African" poster.

Photography: Imperfection

This is a photo of dirty shoes which i took and i edited in Photoshop... This picture represents imperfection  because even though the shoes are not placed upright neatly next to each other they are still perfect and function perfectly as shoes... beyond the shoes could be an imperfect person whom those belong to!
