Brief - To design an illustration based on Nelson Mandela. We are required to think out the box, the illustration can be to honour Mandela or be as controversial as possible. This brief was assigned by Garth Walker to designers throughout South Africa.

 

My concept deals with Mandela the icon. Mandela’s face can be seen plastered all over the world in the form of monuments, fabrics, and other various media. There is no limit to how far he can be marketed therefore I illustrated a game that focuses on his life which is translated into levels which a person can play through. I wanted to emphasize how his life  has been dehumanised which can be seen by the excessive amount of merchandise that has been produced and sold over the years.
