ek is 'n vreeslike trotse lektor

one of my biggest inspirations on my creative journey is my students. this year i worked with my grad year graphic design students on the ISTD assessments. serena van der nest passed their assessments with flying colours. it is seen as a considerable achievement. membership of the international society of typographic designers is awarded to graduating students that demonstrate, through the quality of their work, their commitment to achieving the highest possible standard of visual communication. i am very proud of her. serena choose a brief where she had to create a book to demonstrate the philosophy of a chosen crafter. her chosen crafter uses expressive embroidery as a medium. serena took hours and hours to embroider letters in her book by hand.

...

'n groot inspirasie in my kreatiewe lewe is my studente. die jaar het ek die voorreg gehad om saam met ons derdejaar grafiese ontwerp studente aan die ISTD opdragte te werk. serena van der nest het die ISTD toetse geslaag. ek is so trots op haar, glo my dit was nie maklik nie. baie min studente bereik hierdie mylpaal. haar opdrag wat sy gekies het was om die filosofie van 'n handwerker uit te beeld in boekvorm. sy het 'n handwerker gekies wat pragtige kreatiewe borduurwerk doen. oral in haar boek het sy met die hand borduurwerk op haar letters gedoen. 

i'm bragging a bit

my learners did a project for tomy takkies this year. the message of the tomies was that aaa school of advertising's learners are brilliant. i posted some photos on my instagram page and tomy takkies made lovely comments. we also posted the designs on aaa school of advertising's facebook page. go and have a look-see if you want to read the ideas behind the different designs.

...

my studente het hierdie jaar 'n projek vir tomy takkies gedoen. die boodskap wat hulle met hulle tomies moes oordra was dat aaa shool of advertising se studente briljant is. ek het op my instagram blad die fotos gepost en tomy takkies het baie positief gereageer. die tomy ontwerpe is ook op aaa school of advertising se facbook blad gepost. gaan kyk bietjie as julle die idees agter van die tomies wil lees.

pink butterfly

   

"a camera, a creation, a product of nothing to do. this camera was found 
on devils peak and became a blank canvas, being creative students with a spare fish eye lens, 
we created a new work of art." ~ quote of a learner

oh, my holy coffeeness

witty learners, a reason why i enjoy being a lecturer. i resently found this lovely illustration again, done by johan strydom in 2006. it gave me a chuckle, he had a lovely sense of humour. what happend to him?

een van die redes hoekom ek dit so geniet om klas te gee. baie keer laat leerders jou diep uit jou binneste lag. ek het onlangs weer op hierdie illustrasie afgekom wat johan strydom gemaak het in 2006. wonder wat het van die knaap geword? hy het 'n heerlike sin vir humor.
