Abavimbeli

Book cover & jacket

Abavimbeli — Hardcover jacket — front lockup
+Hardcover jacket — front lockup
The brief

A serious non-fiction title on land and the political economy of Zimbabwe needed a cover with the gravity of a landmark text — but the pull of a bestseller on a crowded shelf.

What I did

A composite of the Great Zimbabwe conical tower rising through a baobab at dusk, wrapped in a distressed, ox-blood display title. The full jacket was set — front, spine and back — with a stamped review line and the publisher's crest.

Team Zimbabwe

Concept national kit system

Team Zimbabwe — Charcoal strip — no. 10
+Charcoal strip — no. 10
The brief

A three-strip concept for a national side that had to read as unmistakably Zimbabwean without leaning on the obvious.

What I did

A hand-torn, distressed pattern language recoloured across three strips — charcoal, green and gold — each carrying the flag and one unified number treatment, with clean sponsor space held at the chest.

03Event · Social Media

Royal Priesthood

Church campaign flyers

Royal Priesthood — Themed Sunday — 'Removing the Garment of Poverty'
+Themed Sunday — 'Removing the Garment of Poverty'
The brief

A Victoria Falls congregation needed one recognisable weekly look that could stretch across very different services — from a formal crusade to a themed Sunday.

What I did

A flexible flyer system that swaps palette and hero treatment per event while holding the ministry mark, contact block and type hierarchy steady. Cut-out portraits and layered light give each piece a broadcast feel.

04Packaging · Label

Kasongo

Energy drink packaging

Kasongo — 250ml can — front
+250ml can — front
The brief

A new energy drink wanting shelf presence in a category owned by loud primary colour — without shouting.

What I did

The opposite move: a monochrome grey camo-and-foliage wrap, a stark warthog mascot and a blood-red brushed wordmark. A silhouetted savanna baseline ties every can back to place.

05Event · Print Collateral

Cosmopolitan

Pop-up party tickets

Cosmopolitan — GA & VIP tickets — perforated stub
+GA & VIP tickets — perforated stub
The brief

Two ticket tiers for a club pop-up that had to feel premium and stay instantly sortable at the door.

What I did

One layout, two energies — indigo for general, electric green for VIP — with a perforated stub, headline artist lockup and the price locked to the tier colour. Built to print spec with bleed and tear line.

06Brand Identity System

Capable Culture

Sportswear brand identity

Capable Culture — Brand board — full system
+Brand board — full system
The brief

A premium sportswear label needed a mark that worked as small as a woven tab and as large as a storefront.

What I did

A monogram locking a hexagon into an interlocking double-C, carried through a disciplined black / white / volt-green system — logo suite, guidelines, apparel, packaging, retail and social, all built around one line: ability is limitless.

07Social Campaign · Non-profit

Uncommon

Coding school launch

Uncommon — Launch flyer — duotone route
+Launch flyer — duotone route
The brief

A coding school launching at a rural primary school — co-branded with a painted-dog conservation programme — needed announcements that honoured both the tech and the wildlife.

What I did

Two announcement routes over striking painted-dog photography: one a warm duotone with code brackets, one a textured canvas with a paw-print device. Both land 'coming soon' clearly and credit the conservation partner.
