Pioneering Industrial Design in Zimbabwe

You say industrial Design is unknown in Zimbabwe. Can you explain what it involves?
Well, at its most basic, Industrial Design involves the design of products that serve a particular function from concepts, manufacturing through to usage and disposal. What they call product lifecycle. It can be any product, your cellphone for example. At some point it was conceived and designed by someone. Industrial design was closely linked to mass produced consumer products but now it’s much broader.

Development of Graphic Design in Zimbabwe (1980 - 2000) - Interviews & Stats

Since there were no books on design in Zimbabwe all information had to come from interviews and stats were based on surveys I carried out on my own.

Statisics
From the information I was gathering for my project I compiled a couple of statistics about the industry and college. I must note that these statistics are estimated which I concluded from the research I did.



The Graphic Designer’s responsibility

After consideration of God’s laws, all creative artists must know and believe in creation, instead of evolution. None are here by mere coincidence, but by purpose hence we have a mission to accomplish. God created us in his own image, which is why mankind has the ability to maintain the order instituted by God. As mankind grows and succumbs to various influences or adheres to the status quo, they are moulded away from the true essence of the being created by God. Therefore we lose the creative instinct necessary to maintain order in the world.
