Chevawn Blum, a fourth-year student at Rhodes University, is the winner of a competition to design a poster for Design Indaba 2014.
Blum and the two runners-up are all fourth-year Rhodes Journalism and Media Studies Design students.
Aimee de la Harpe was placed second, and Jess Poulos third.
"Displaying creativity, originality and an understanding of the Design Indaba brand, Blum’s poster demonstrates the beauty in the most simple design element, the line," the competition organisers said in a statement.
Explaining her design, Blum said, "I created interesting wireframes to suggest the growing and expanding of the brand."
Using the colours from the various Design Indaba sections, Blum’s wire-style poster maintains the integrity of white space, while reflecting all elements of the brand.
Competition judge Ross Chowles, executive creative director of The Jupiter Drawing Room Cape Town, commented: “Apart from the fact that it looked like something Design Indaba would design, it made me feel like there was lots to see and touch.
"It made me use my imagination and it created a sense of anticipation."
Blum wins a Samsung smart phone and the opportunity to work on the Design Indaba advertising campaign for 2014.
