Design Indaba 2010


Hello design fans.

Guess what boys and girls? It’s that time of the year once again. Time to check out the best there is to offer in the South African design scene. That’s right Design Indaba 2010 is nearly upon us.
The best news: Springleap.com will be there to show off its seriously amazing designs and bring our winning designers even more exposure.

Design Indaba is pretty much the biggest design expo in SA. This year it will once again be held at the CTICC (Cape Town International Conference Centre). The general public and hardcore designers alike will be treated to an astounding amount of varied design. Whether you are into film, fashion, graphic design or even jewellery design, all tastes will be catered for.

Obviously Springleap.com fits into the fashion design category of this fine event. We are going to bring the full power of our stunning design and totally blow away the public. Our involvement in the Design Indaba is honestly slightly belated. We should have gotten involved last year at the least, but unfortunately we had IFS in Jozies, if memory serves. However, good things come to those who wait and so the expo goers will meet the magic of our designers with full force.

past present future


Hello everyone.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Battle of the Best competition is seeing how individual designers have grown in their artist talents.
I was astounded at how some of our older designers have improved in leaps and bounds, over a relatively small space of time.
Here is a look at 3 designers that I feel have grown in this latest them compo.

Ok so basically what I will do is have a past present and future look at each designer. Firstly we will take a look at their past winning design and then their present submission for the Battle of the Best. Finally I will do a little future write up of what I feel we can expect.

My first port of call is a designer that we all know very well on Springleap.com, DustyRich. This epic designer has become very well known for his high quality design and original character design. In fact I feel as if he is one of the true Springleap overlords atm, which is basically a designer who has been around since the beginning and has been delivering just as long.
I decide to use his Video Games Rock design as the example of his ‘past design’, because it is undoubtedly underlines the brilliant work we saw when he first started.
If you look at his most recent submission (present design) Live Fast Never Die, you will see the design aspects of character power that made us fall in love with his work to begin with. However, take a closer look. You can see just how much his designs have evolved. There is a boat load more detail in this design and the overall composition is on an entirely different level. I really take my hat off to DustyRich for his killer designs and rapid design evolution.
We expect big things from Dusty in the future, we hope that he will keep sending more amazing designs our way and continue to set the benchmark for the rest of the new designers. Go Go DustyRich!!!!
