A generation of talented graphic
designers and artists have
created many an image accepted and loved by society. It is a new generation of designers
and artists who have come along with the same appreciation
for art, however, they view this art
with a satirical eye, seeing potential in every piece. The Pieter Dirk Uys and Zapiro
of the graphic parody world!
No work of art, no
matter ...

If I were boss
Posted by Dalene on Thursday, February 25, 2010,
I know what I would like to
say. I know what you’d like to hear. I know that everyone’s inner child comes
knocking when this question is posed. I want to say that if I was boss, I’d
install free gumball machines around the office, and the common room would have
a Nintendo Wii installed. I’d love to say that daily I would call random
employees into my office to give them a cookie...

Two people came out of a building and into a story
Posted by Dalene on Sunday, February 21, 2010,
Two people came out of a building. What a pair. A
high-heeled middle aged woman in a tweed coat clicked down the stairs as a
stout balding man scurried after her.
“Listen,” she snapped, “I told you, my mother left me this
ring; I am the one keeping it safe until we find a buyer.”
She had no intention of entrusting him with the ring. The
man who managed to lose keys, misplace readi...

Who Saves the Day?
Posted by Dalene on Sunday, February 21, 2010,
Gunfire darting through the
streets, dynamite illuminating the alleys, screaming women and children running
for cover. The baddies have reigned chaos in the city and it’s up to *insert
cartoon character name here* to save the day. All in 2D.
There are so many superheroes
out there to choose from, but which one is best qualified to tackle villains day
after day? Hmmm.
Superman always see...

Designer Public Relations. The Perfect Fit for Every Company.
Posted by Dalene on Monday, February 15, 2010,
What is ‘designer public relations’? The phrase has not
officially been coined as of yet, however, I intend to have a hand in
contributing to its meaning. You get designer handbags, designer shoes,
designer jewellery, so why should public relations be any different?
Usually when something is ‘designer’ it has its very own
brand name so that people can differentiate between their ...

What Would You Take on an Island?
Posted by Dalene on Monday, February 15, 2010,
If I were stranded on an island alone, what three inanimate
objects would I opt to have at my disposal?
After wandering around the island aimlessly for about an hour
trying to figure out how the hell I got there in the first place, I’d probably
find a comfy patch of soft sand to ponder on before ordering my three objects
from the magical genie lamp.
I would probably try my luck an...

Is Polygamy a Feminist Issue?
Posted by Dalene on Monday, February 15, 2010,
For
many women, hearing
Respect by
Aretha
Franklin means foot tapping or animated singing into a hairbrush. For others,
however, it’s a corner stone of what they stand for: equality among men and
woman.
Marriage
is alone a feminist issue, I mean, how fair is it that based on the values of
Polygamy men get to take more than one wife. But hold on a minute, what is it
called when a woman takes on many husbands? It’s called ‘unheard of’, that’s
what. Where is the equality in that? After ...
