I-JUSI
i-jusi
is a publication produced by the mainstream design company, Orange Juice
Design, to showcase South African design and advertising creativity. It constantly receives numerous enquiries from
abroad to feature more of its work in the international design press.
The latest edition of i-jusi was designed by different professional designers using
the work of first-year students from ML Sultan Technikon in Durban. The students worked together in small groups
to produce their images. They represen-ted a complete crossover of cultures, from squatters with no formalised skills
to students with impressive portfolios.
If you'd like to become involved in this innovative publication, write to the i-jusi
editorial office at PO Box 289, Musgrave Road, 4062.
