State of the Zimbabwean Creative Industry

The creative industry in Zimbabwe is alive and well as far as I’m concerned, thanks to passionate individuals and creative agencies, and companies who have managed to ride the wave of hardship, that the nation has had to endure. I salute those who have managed to keep their heads up against all odd’s to make sure that they get that pixel or dapple that canvas with ink, wherever you are and whatever role you play in the Zimbabwean creative ecosystem, we salute you.

Design Education in Zimbabwe 1980 - 2000

Design education in Zimbabwe is the nucleus for the development of design in Zimbabwe. The more educated the community and designers are the higher the level of appreciation and value placed on design. In this chapter we take a look at the development of design education in Zimbabwe and where it is going. For my information on design education I was referred to Anthony Mellon who’s been very influential in the graphic design in Zimbabwe. We will see the important role he played. Mellon was a lecturer at Bulawayo Polytechnic College teaching design in the late 60’s.

Nqobizitha Mlilo and the birth of 3D animation in Zimbabwe

Nqobizitha Mlilo at HIFA

POVO: Thanks for your time, can you give us a brief background about yourself

NQO: I have been an animator and digital artist for the past 7-8 years now. At once, I also lectured at the Zimbabwe Institute of Vigital Arts (ZIVA) for 5 years specializing in 3D module for the visual effects class. Starting off in web design at 17, I worked my way into design using Photoshop, but I always had a passion for comics and animation. In 2002 I got my first copy of 3D package called Blender and that’s what got me into the game.
