Northwest Celebrates Social Development Day Government and the Department of Social Development celebrate annually the Social Development Month. This year’s celebrations come within the backdrop of Ten Years of Freedom and International Year of Family in South Africa and throughout the world. Government has made tremendous strides in improving the lives of our people over the past ten years of freedom. “Our task as the Department of Social Development is to reduce poverty and promote social integration”. “We therefore have a twin task of developing and monitoring the implementation of social policy that both create an enabling environment services to all people who reside in our province” said MEC Nomonde Rasmeni in her policy speech. In celebrating the Social Development Month the North West Department of Social Development outlines some of the milestone achieved in the past ten years: The province has registered about 594 006, (291 377 are children) beneficiaries over the past years, through these grants poor families are able to have at least one meal a day. To ensure that households have access to food, about 72 000 households have benefitted from the National Food Emergency Scheme since its launch in 2003. To enhance food security, the process of establishing drop-in- centers is unfolding; these centers will provide cooked meals to malnourished children, older persons, people infected by HIV / AIDS as well as people with disabilities. Through our poverty alleviation programme, we have managed to fund a lot of projects since 1999 to date. During this financial year we have strengthened 42 projects some of which will be launched this month to mark Social Development Month. A lot of these projects have been initiated and are run by women. The department continues to give support to child-headed households, orphans as well as those affected by HIV / AIDS. Amongst others, the department distributed winter tracksuits to these children in different service points in the province. Article supplied by the Department of Social Development.

Do you think graphic design sounds like a cool career, but you're not quite sure what it is, what you can do with it or how much you can earn? In a nutshell, graphic design is creating a pleasing layout from text and graphics. Graphic design is the creation of visual media, usually for marketing, brochures, web pages, business cards, logos, publications, advertising, postcards, mailings, invoices and books are all products of graphic design. Graphic artists use a variety of print, electronic and film media to create art that meets a client's needs. The process of combining text and graphics to communicate an effective message in the design of logos, graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any other type of visual communication. Some designers aren't "artists": they don't create most of the graphics or illustrations they use, but rather create a layout with text and other designer’s graphics. Some designers don't work with text at all, such as an illustrator or a digital artist. And some designers do it all: print, web, layout, and illustration. What kind of jobs can you get with a graphic design degree?
Here are a few examples of what you might be expected to do as a graphic designer: You are hired to develop a brochure. You discuss with the customer their goals, target market, design preferences. The customer supplies you with the text for the brochure, but no graphics, with the exception of their logo. You must decide how many and what colors will be used; what fonts will be used; what graphics or photographs will be used. Once you've decided the basics, you look over the text supplied. You decide what are the most important elements of that text. What should become headings, subheads, pull quotes. You come up with type treatments for those headings, subheads, body copy, etc. You decide where the logo and/or photographs go, and what size. You are hired to develop a web site. Once again, you discuss with the customer what they want to get out of their site, who their target market is, design preferences. The customer supplies you with text and photographs. You look over the text and decide how to break the text into web pages. You crop photos and make sure that they're optimized for the web. You may make a mockup of how you want a basic page at the site to look. Colors, fonts, navigational graphics such as buttons. Once your customer approves your mockup, you begin to translate that into web pages. This may include slicing graphics and developing HTML. You make sure that the pages you've developed work well in multiple resolutions, multiple browsers and different platforms. If you think you have what it takes to become a professional graphic designer. Would you like a job where you can express yourself? For more information about this career, please contact us. We might just make your dream come true. Yourcity: (018) 468 8883. |
