Design Indaba develops design talent in Gauteng
Design Indaba, Wines of South Africa and Woolworths, together with Australian graphic design guru and DI alumni, Ken Cato, hosted a workshop in Johannesburg, aimed at reinforcing the concept of diversity in the wine industry in South Africa.
The focus of the workshop, was to determine how young SA designers see South African wines being portrayed. This will take the form of a wine label design competition whereby the winning labels will be presented at the Wine Diversity Conference in 2006. Final year graphic design students from Johannesburgs AAA School of Advertising as well as students from the department of Graphic Design from the University of Johannesburg will be participating. A stellar opportunity to not only learn from one of the best, but to tap into the creativity of a generation that will help promote the South African wine industry internationally.
