Portfolio of South African designers: Garth Walker

Abstract

Durban graphic designer Garth Walker epitomises the search for a visual approach and identity which will truly reflect the rich ethnic and cultural diversity of this country. Walker quotes Kenyan academic Odoch Pido who on a recent visit to South Africa, described afrocentric creativity as a stew where all the ingredients are stirred into a big pot. Removing certain of the ingredients changes the flavour, but the essential character of the stew always remains the same.
