A lack of preparation on the side of both students and a university leads to a crowd stampede and a tragic death of a parent.


Digital illustration I did for this week's issue of South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper for their Comment & Analysis section on the tragic fiasco and stampede at the University of Johannesburg -- reflecting sheer desperation of school leavers to get into tertiary institutions. Not to mention the disfunction in the South African education system... 

My approach was a bit lateral ... hopefully eye catching while using the restricted black, white and orange colour palette.

Illustration Friday: Match 2

Man oh man -- one of those Mondays where it's hitting the ground face first running... no time to breathe or blog. Spent most of the spare time on weekend making friends with HTML and Dreamweaver. Ok, still a long way off initiation into that weird cult, the web-designer and coder... but not doing so badly.
Anyway, took a second to draw up a second idea for Illustration Friday: "Match"... aaaaaaaaaand then it's back on with the ankle shackles and back to the drawing board...sigh.
