A Frosty Day in Durban


"A Frosty Day in Durban", the inaugural event held in Durban on 24 August 2001, was a great success. It exposed participants to the best global practices of working in the disciplines of design, art direction and printing. The 31 participants of "Frosty Day" included college and technikon students, as well as people with less than two years experience in the industry.

Participants were tutored and mentored by the award-winning editorial designer Vince Frost of Frost Design, UK. He shared his experience and skills to help enrich the students to have a final product under their arms the following morning.

Besides practical advice given during the workshop, Frost delivered his personal ideas on design with his customary humour in a formal presentation and Q&A session that lasted one and a half hours.

The final product was a full-colour, 48-page magazine that celebrated Durban as an African city and that promoted it as a sought-after tourist and business destination. Internationally acclaimed author Prof Fatima Meer, a native Durbanite wrote the foreword. The magazine was presented to Unicity Deputy Mayor, Councillor Logie Naidoo and was also distributed to delegates at the United Nations World Conference Against Racism hosted in Durban.
