Chad Lesch student Illustrator
Check out the work by Chad Lesch who was part of the Emerging Creatives stand at the Design Indaba:
My name is Chad Lesch, I just graduated from Vega Cape Town with a degree in Creative Brand Communication. I’ve grown up drawing, went to high school and focused on photo-realistice drawing, but now have a desire to channel everything I have toward design (because it feels more creative and fun to me) I’m hoping to get myself known as a designer from now on! I’m totally crazy about monsters, illustration, character design and packaging! I just finished being an Emerging Creative at the 2010 Design Indaba and hope to launch my career from here on out!

Design Indaba Design Fights who Dunnit?
Check out these sick illustrations done for the Design Indaba Designs Fights campaign. It’s still a “coming soon” splash page, but if the current character illustration is anything to go by, it should be a pretty awesome site!
It seems to be a pretty new style as well – not something we’ve seen in South Africa yet so we’d like to know… Who Dunnit?
EDIT:
This Who-Dunnit has been solved – the agency’s responsible are Jupiter Drawing Room and Wicked Pixels. Please note that there is a considerably long discussion around the originality about this work below.

Bid for a Bowwow
Bowwow SA Campiagn
50 puppies found.
Thoroughbred Italian.
Looking for stylish homes and out-of-the-box-grooming.
Please nurture and send back when ready.
These adorable little design creatures was originally designed in 2005 by iconic designer Eero Aarnio for the Italian contemporary design brand Magis. To date over 60 000 of these puppies are roaming the planet.
ID Solutions together with Magis has chosen 50 South African talents, from architects to interior designers to fine artists, the press and cutting edge retailers for their design pedigree to participate in this creative canine project.
As the watchdogs of Bowwow, ID Solutions and the Design Indaba Trust challenged these design houses to dress, decorate and makeover their Magis puppy so that he can hold his tail up high amongst other clever creations in the design arena.
The job was to ensure that your puppy reflects South African design as you see it today. A chance to let others see the creative mind at play and an opportunity to showcase the wealth of design spirit in SA to the rest fo the country and the world.
All participants in this puppy project were displayed at the Design Indaba Expo at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 27 Feb till 1 March 2009. An overall winner will be chosen, judged by a panel of Design Indaba Speakers, to represent SA in an international Bowwow competition contested by 32 countries.
The aim of this project was to culminate in an auction where 50% of the proceeds will go towards bursaries awarded to design students through the Design Indaba Trust, and 50% going towards the commisioning of a public sculpture for the Greenpoint Staduim precinct.
So lets take a bow for all these Design Houses who put their design skills to great use in a proactive, puppy dog loving way! They had fun, made a noise with their creative know how and didnt let anything hold them back.
Check out the some of the puppies below.

Design Indaba supplement creative
While the past week was choc-n-block full of everything Design Indaba, we’ve kept a bit quiet about it – we felt most of it was being covered by the traditional outlets already (if you beg to differ, do tell us so in the comments below).
What we did want to highlight though was the great work done by The Jupiter Drawing Room for some of the pre-Indaba invites, as well as some other elements you might have spotted at the Indaba.
We originally spotted the works over at Brandt Botes’ Behance portfolio, the Graphic Design Group Head at Jupiter. Head over there for some more images. We’ve included a short description of each piece after the link as well.
