Downloaded from hlayiso.com Design/P2 3 DBE/November 2021 NSC BRIEF/THEME 1: AFROFUTURISM THE BRIEF: Afrofuturism aims to celebrate African culture and technology in bold and innovative, 21st century expressions. Afrofuturism is also described as a movement in literature, music and art featuring futuristic or science fiction imagery that incorporates elements of black cultural mythology and history. It is a powerful creative force that merges technology and creativity, providing a positive account of Africa and its future, with the aim to counteract negative perceptions of Africa. Afrofuturism sees Africa as a powerful, technologically advanced and well-resourced continent. Important Afrofuturist works include, Jay-Z and Beyonce's 'Family Feud' music video, set in 2444 and directed by UCLA's Ava DuVernay, as well as the movie Black Panther (2018) directed by Ryan Coogler. Create an innovative design solution inspired by Afrofuturism for a futuristic post-Covid South Africa, in a bid to restore hope and positivity for South Africans. Create a Visual Communication/Information Design and/or Digital Design solution fusing science fiction and fantasy with African art, history or mythology to re-envisage a post-Covid South Africa through, e.g. a campaign or corporate identity that includes a logo, letterhead, business card, packaging, car branding, a short video advertisement, an emotive poster or a T-shirt or sweater design. Create a Surface Design or Two-dimensional Craft Design solution that promotes South African resilience and quirkiness in an Afrofuturist style in, e.g. wallpapers, textile fabric, or any other surface pattern solution. Create a Product Design or Three-dimensional Craft Design solution that can be purchased to promote economic recovery post-Covid-19, e.g. an ultramodern costume, helmet, jewellery and ceramics. Here designers can use African traditional craft techniques in a high-tech way to suit a futuristic society. Create an Environmental Design solution that can be seen in examples such as futuristic signage, bus stop shelters and supermarket interiors. You are required to research the concept of Afrofuturism and the various designs that it can inspire and incorporate by reading newspapers articles, watching the news, reading magazine articles and doing image searches on the internet. This research must be presented as part of your sourcebook/workbook of Topic 1. Refer to the criteria for the design process and final product together with the assessment guidelines.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Design/P2 4 DBE/November 2021 NSC GLOSSARY: AFROFUTURISM Futuristic: having or involving a very modern machine or technological aesthetic. Forms become jagged and geometric, lines are straight and clean, and textures are smooth creating a sense of speed and dynamism. A fantasy, surreal world is created where the future is dominated by robotic machines. Science fiction: an imagined world is created based on possible future scientific or technological advances, as well as major social or environmental changes. This frequently involves portraying space or time travel and life on other planets. Mythology: a collection of myths, legends or folklore belonging to a particular religious and/or cultural tradition or group. Fantastical: the strange, weird or fanciful appearance of something or someone based on a particular design concept. Emotive: able to arouse or indicate intense feelings. Quirkiness: a strange humorous attitude, habit or oddity particular to someone or something. Resilience: the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties or challenges.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Design/P2 9 DBE/November 2021 NSC BRIEF/THEME 2: DESIGN SAVES THE WORLD THE BRIEF: Design can alter, transform and improve the quality of human lives by creating awareness and solutions to specific socio-cultural problems, such as hunger, disease, homelessness, housing, pollution or the impact of natural disasters. Socio-cultural problems include health problems like Covid-19, TB, malaria, diabetes, mental health and physical disabilities. Other issues that could be addressed are lack of access to education, electricity and infrastructure, such as clean water or sanitation. By designing products to solve these problems designers can actively contribute to the improvement of people's lives and saving the world. Create an innovative design solution inspired by a socio-cultural or environmental issue that you have identified in your community. Create a Visual Communication/Information Design and/or Digital Design solution that addresses a socio-cultural issue in your community. One example could be designing for a health campaign focusing on hypertension using only symbols in order to reach a broader audience. Your campaign could include designs for a logo, poster, billboard, packaging and a T-shirt. It could also include a mobile UX design or info graphic, providing tips on how to lower one's blood pressure. Create a Surface Design or Two-dimensional Craft Design solution that promotes a change in public perception and handling of a specific environmental and social issue, e.g. water recycling methods. This could be communicated on a wallpaper/textile or other surface design that illustrates ways of recycling water. Create a Product Design or Three-dimensional Craft Design solution that can be purchased to promote awareness of a sociocultural issue you have identified in your community or South Africa at large. For example the high rate of unemployment in the country is addressed by design entrepreneurs, such as Mielie, who are creating products, such as bags and cushions, with social groups and selling them online in order to initiate economic recovery. Other examples of products that can be created include industrial products, ceramics and furniture design. Create an Environmental Design solution that solves or creates awareness of a sociocultural problem. One example could be a mural design for the interior of a paediatric/children's hospital that contributes to a friendly and playful environment which promotes physical and emotional recovery. The mural design would help alleviate children's fear of going to hospital. You are required to research the concept 'Design Saves the World' and the various designs that it can inspire by reading newspaper articles, watching the news, reading magazine articles and doing image searches on the internet. This research must be presented as part of your sourcebook/workbook of Topic 1. Refer to the criteria for the design process and final product together with the assessment guidelines.
