UJ 2nd-year student comes second in the 2020 Wild Bean Café’s Design-A-Cup competition
AUCKLAND PARK – Raff heard about the BP campaign via her lecturer and didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.
A second-year graphic design student at the University of Johannesburg was named the runner-up in the 2020 Wild Bean Café’s Design-A-Cup competition.
Gayla Raff received an Apple MacBook Pro and full one-year Adobe CC licence as her prize. The competition was won by Kabelo Diphoko, a 23-year-old and also a second-year graphic design student at North-West University.
Intune Communication’s office Kassey Belluigi said that the competition was launched in 2019 and was the second phase of a BP campaign aimed at enhancing the coffee-drinking experience at their Wild Bean Cafés by having every cup telling a South African story.
“The first part was to gather authentic and inspirational South African stories that could be depicted on coffee cups and the second was to call on young artists to interpret them in their coffee cup designs,” said Belluigi.
Belluigi said that Raff heard about the BP campaign via her lecturer and didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.
“It’s important to enter competitions as they allow students to showcase their talents and creativity and it’s good for their portfolios when applying for jobs once they have completed their studies,” Raff said.
“My design is very colourful as that is what South Africa is all about – vibrant colours, many textures, detail and our different cultures have their own patterns. I also brought in animals, diamonds, drums and Proteas, as these symbolise our wonderfully diverse country.”
