Cow Africa – The rest of The Illustrators
We’ve mentioned the Cow Africa Illustrators T-shirt range (designed by Niark1) before, but we couldn’t get hold of all 3 of the designs for the range. We’ve finally gotten them and here they are for your enjoyment. Remember you can buy the t-shirts at Hello Again, or directly from Cow Africa. I’m wearing this design today. Fits well 
South African creatives to follow on Twitter
Yeah Twitter is finally hitting the mainstream, if you’ve been active for a couple of months I’m sure you would have spotted the bump in follows this past month (it’s even being mentioned in newspaper articles!). If you’re new to Twitter we’ve narrowed down a list of some people you can follow to spice up your design day, they are all South Africans who are either designers themselves, or work in the creative industry. If you are also in the creative industry, be sure to follow us (we’ll follow ya back) over here: http://www.twitter.com/10and5.
Cow Africa – Gridstar
Cow Africa did a 10 second television commercial for Gridstar, Vodacom’s new online talent show where people can film themselves putting their talents to good use and upload it via their cellphones.
The ad is already being showed on national TV, but now you can get a glimpse of it online as well.

Mobikasi youth and mobile production by Cow and TheGrid
Cow Africa recently produced some really cool short-film, documentary style clips for their client The Grid (the Vodacom mobile, LBS social network). The whole press release is on the Cow Africa site, but the gist of the work is byte-sized documentaries about the culture in Soweto. Janneman helped out with the video. In their words:
Instead of showing the twenty-five minute documentary in a linear fashion from start to finish, Mobikasi splits the content up into twenty-five inserts of one minute each. Each one-minute clip covers a different topic that is relevant to the youth in Soweto and is geo-tagged to the location where it was shot. The location-based documentary looks at people, music, fashion, social issues and places of interest.
Check out some stills. You’ll have to go The Grid to view them all.
Cow connects pixel art with MWEB to draw in the g33ks
Cow Africa recently launched the MWEB Gadget Genie campaign. Using some interesting pixel art and old school tunes they really managed to take this reviewer back a view years. It reminds of me of the old school bit games that I used to play – Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Leisure Suite Larry (Can’t tell me you didn’t play that one!)
The campaign is aimed at identifying potential “gadget genies” with a email capture form at the end of the game. Being a self-professed geek, even I expanded my geek knowledge, only nearly making the cut!

Cow Africa remodels their outside balcony
Cow Africa has recently made some changes to their balcony.
You might remember the pallets from one of their previous floor design. They’ve now taken the previous designs outdoor and have installed some Astroturf grass to give it that awesome outdoor feel. I had the opportunity to take a phone call outside and promptly took liberty to lie down while chatting. I didn’t want to get up!
