Graphic Design by Nicole du Plessis (South Africa)

23 year old, female graphic designer and photographer from South Africa with a passion for art in all form, from music to sculpture, photography to performance art, you name it.

Graphic design is my first love and what I focus on most, I have an intense appreciation for aesthetics in our every day lives and am constantly paying close attention to the visual appeal of everything around me. And I love music! Lots of music!

When I think of Graphic Design and the fundamentals thereof, the very first and always reoccurring image that pops into my head, are the greats/legends of the Swiss Style/International graphic design movements. This is my my main inspiration.

What these designers focussed on above all else was the communication of an idea through a visual medium. Never was the focus put on decoration or “prettying up” a design. It was about a message and conveying that message through a practical means. This is what I try to do on a daily basis.
