The word 'travel' can be associated with many ideologies and concepts: a journey,
tour, taking a trip, voyage, expedition, excursion, outing, visit, passage, crossing,
cruise, sail, flight, drive, trek, go, passing through, moving, et cetera.
In today's world travel is mostly work related: many of us journey back and forth to our
places of work and home, trapped in society's 'rat race'! We have become 'jet-setters'
who spend more and more time on aeroplanes – away from family and loved ones – to
reach our goals, dreams and destinies!
Travel is also an inherent human activity. Travel allows us to:
• Explore more exotic or untouched parts of the world
• Reconnect with family and retrace ancestral cultural heritage or roots
• Escape from social pressures and responsibilities
• Experience the wonders of nature
• Experience other ways of being and to gain new perspectives
Donald Trump, the self-made multi-billionaire American magnate and developer of
numerous hotels, golf resorts and a travel agency, is passionate about travel!
For Trump 'happiness is a way of travelling'. He is so passionate about travel that he
has come up with a brilliant and all-inspiring concept: a hotel celebrating travel!
Your brief is to create a design for his new hotel in ONE of the design categories
below:
• Visual Communication/Information Design and Digital Design
• Surface Design and Two-dimensional Craft Design
• Product Design and Three-dimensional Craft Design
• Environmental Design
THIS DESIGN MUST BE INSPIRED BY TRAVEL.
'Map your own route', 'pack' your idea(s) and make use of the included examples
inspired by the theme of 'travelling' ...

2. BRIEF/THEME 2: TOTEMIC DESIGN
Examples of totemic designs featured at the
Design Indaba Expo (South Africa), 2013.

Design/P2 12 DBE/November 2014

Totemic design is described as the trend to stack or layer colours, patterns,
materials and objects to achieve a totemic quality. It was historically inspired
by the Memphis Group during the Pop Era and carried through to
Postmodernism.
The Pop Era designer Verner Panton's Flowerpot Pendant lamp and Panton
Stackable Chairs, produced in 1969, clearly emphasise an obsession with
layering and stacking to achieve a totemic quality.
Postmodern designer Etorre Sottsass' 1980s Adesso Però bookcase, Mobile
Giallo Chest of Drawers and Charlton Cabinet testify in a playful, witty and
whimsical manner to the totemic structures within Postmodernist designs.
TOTEMISM conjures up images of Native American or Red Indian totem poles
while many South Africans associate Totemism with the well-known family
restaurant, Spur.
Li Edelkoort (international trend forecaster) points out that South Africa has an
evident TOTEMIC design tradition. According to her, it started in the early
1990s with designers setting out to create an African identity.
When taking into consideration the open-ended meaning behind the
words/terms 'totemic', 'stacking' and 'layering', we find useful information:
totemic: add, add up, count up, tote up, tally
stacking: pack, heap, pile, load
layering: enclosed, roofed, sheltered, togetherness

Design/P2 13 DBE/November 2014
NSC
The complexity of the word TOTEMISM forces us to 'stumble' upon or enter
Postmodernist discourses/discussions where designs are 'loaded' with
'pluralistic, double-coded dichotomies and ambiguous meaning' – AND then
to turn to or 'tumble' into Deconstruction where meaning is yet again
'decoded, broken down and fragmented ...'
THE BRIEF:
Create a TOTEMIC DESIGN for the Design Indaba Expo of 2015.
• Design(s) should suggest 'stacking' and/or 'layering.
• The design(s) could include a contrast or dichotomy.
A few suggestions: geometric/organic; African/Western; African/Eastern;
handmade/machine-made; ornate/minimal; feminine/masculine; natural/
artificial; construct/deconstruct; et cetera.
Create any original design in ONE of the following design categories:
• Visual Communication/Information Design and Digital Design
• Surface Design and Two-dimensional Craft Design
• Product Design and Three-dimensional Craft Design
• Environmental Design

SURFACE DESIGN AND TWO-DIMENSIONAL CRAFT DESIGN
FIGURE B: Totem Pole Fashion by Rysgaard and Kristoffersen
(Denmark), 2012.
The costumes above reflect a layered balance between machine and hand-made
techniques. Each piece can be freely mixed and matched, worn together or separately.
The designers are clearly playing with the idea of construction/deconstruction of
traditional Native American images and symbols.

FIGURE D: Tea Shower Stacking Up Wooden Toy collection
by London Shower (London), 2012.
The Tea Shower Stacking Up Wooden Toy is based on the 'Chimney Soldier'
character. The process of stacking and layering teaches a child not only to collect
playfully, and select sizes and colour schemes, but also to construct and deconstruct
shapes and forms.

This collection of artistic, sculptural storage pieces reflects the designer's great passion
for constructing and deconstructing. This is an excellent example of design's ability to
'morph' or transform by means of a huge array of different totemic, stacking and
layering possibilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
Gregory Polletta and Sung Jang have created Topiade, a layered facade structure,
designed to renew an existing Louis Vuitton store building without involving major
reconstruction. The concept of 'topiary' (bushes cut into shapes) and the French
garden style were used to extend and exhibit the luxurious quality of Louis Vuitton.

TASK 7
1. This practical examination consists of ONE paper. This question paper
comprises TWO parts: TOPIC 1 (the examination sourcebook/workbook,
A3 size suggested) and TOPIC 2 (the final practical examination product).
2. This practical question paper should be given to the candidates on
Monday 28 July 2014. The final submission date will be Friday 24 October
2014.
3. TOPIC 1 (design process) has the same weighting as TOPIC 2 (the final
product) and it should therefore be given enough time to acknowledge its
importance.
4. Consequently, candidates should have enough time to do their TOPIC 1
(design process). The teacher may only be involved in this preliminary
preparatory session and not in TOPIC 2. Due to the preparatory nature of
TOPIC 1, candidates are allowed to work at home.
5. Candidates must use the TOPIC 1 sourcebook/workbook as a point of
reference during their TOPIC 2 examinations. Both TOPIC 1 and TOPIC 2
examination work must be submitted to the teacher/invigilator immediately
after the TOPIC 2 examinations are completed.
6. The teacher may NOT assist the candidate in any way during the final
production of the design product (TOPIC 2).
7. Any form of direct COPYING/PLAGIARISM or work that is not the candidate's
original work will be strictly penalised.
8. TOPIC 2 must be done on a continuous basis during contact time, for
example during three consecutive days under controlled circumstances.
9. TOPIC 2 must be done at the candidate's examination centre, under the
supervision of the teacher/invigilator. TOPIC 2 work must NOT be done at
home. TOPIC 2 work must NOT be removed from the examination centre
under any circumstances.
10. Each province will determine the process involved in the marking of TOPIC 1
(sourcebook/workbook) and TOPIC 2 (final product). Schools will be notified
by the provinces concerning the date, time and venue for the submission of
work to the examination centres, where applicable.
11. The examination TOPIC 1 should be professionally presented in a
sourcebook/workbook in an album format (A3 size suggested).

PAT 1 (TASK 1), PAT 2 (TASK 3) AND THE PRACTICAL TRIAL EXAMINATION
(TASK 5)
1. Each province will determine the process involved in the moderation of the
year work, PAT 1 (Task 1), PAT 2 (Task 3) and the practical trial examination
(Task 5), as well as the final practical examination (Paper 2). Schools will be
notified by the provinces concerning the date, time and venue for the
moderation of PAT year work and marking/assessment of the final practical
examination Paper 2 (Task 7).
2. TOPIC 1 for each task is to be professionally presented in a
sourcebook/workbook in an album format (A3 size suggested).
3. Candidates who do not submit PAT 1 (Task 1), PAT 2 (Task 3) and the
practical trial examination (Task 5) will receive incomplete results for this
portion of the examination (year-work exhibition).
4. The following procedure may be adjusted by each province to suit their own
process of moderation/assessment of work at the end of the year:
An example of the compilation of a sourcebook/workbook:
• Index with legible page references
• All the TOPIC 1's (design process) must be in the sourcebook/workbook
in chronological order, accompanied by the respective assessment
sheets.
5. Each province will stipulate their own procedure for handing in and
moderation/ assessment of TOPIC 2.
