Educational Illustration

We are passionate about educational illustration. Creating images that have real meaning and that communicate clearly on a visual level, gives us (and our clients!) great joy. We believe that illustration can make a positive difference to the lives of individuals and communities.
Knowledge is power.

“The level of detail and the use of form and colour in the illustrations were expertly handled and I could hardly imagine a normally superficial reader not feeling invited to explore the text in more depth because of them.”

EARLY EDUCATIONAL WORK - WE'VE COME A VERY LONG WAY!

I have completely forgotten about this job, so it was a wonderful surprise to uncover this in my archives and I decided to share it here. 
These two comics were done for Nasou publishers during 2004 and 2005 for school readers. The spaces where there should be text are all blank, because the stories were published in different languages. The readers were also only partially in colour to save printing cost. That's why some of the pages are in black and white only.

Government grant instruction manual

This project was commissioned by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) and the South African Department of Social Development. It was supposed to be an instruction manual for civil servants that explains all the different social grants and the various administrative processes, but it never got printed due to government policy changes.
