Graphic designers usually produce the visuals found on packaging, clothing, book covers, and transport vehicles. Yet, when their artistry is elevated to provoke thought, reflect society, or preserve cultural heritage, their creations achieve lasting significance.
Social commentary through digital design and artistry is what award-winning content creator, illustrator and graphic designer David Tshabalala knows well.
While he studied graphic design at the Central University of Technology in Bloemfontein, Tshabalalas path was shaped during his early schooling years. His love for literature and drawing pictures gave him solace in being an above-average student who was one of the better artists in class.
