NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE

INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

1. This question paper consists of TWO sections:
   TOPIC 1: The examination sourcebook/workbook (50 marks)
   TOPIC 2: The final practical examination product (50 marks)
   TOTAL: 100 marks
2. The question paper has TWO briefs/themes. Choose ONE of the two options.

BRIEF/THEME 1: SOUTH AFRICAN MUSIC FESTIVAL
THE BRIEF:
The advancement of the digital era has presented a decrease in human interaction. This has resulted in a decline in the number of people interested in communal gatherings, such as music festivals. In a bid to increase participation in, and an awareness of, South African music festivals, the Department of Arts and Culture has created a competition inviting the youth to promote music festivals across South Africa.
Music festivals are celebrations of events/entertainment held all over South Africa at different times of the year. These celebrations are a source of great happiness and strengthen the sense of community among people who enjoy a specific musical genre (blues, hip-hop, folk, jazz, classical, kwaito, house, Afro pop, gqom, reggae, gospel, etc.). These festivals always involve live performances, such as concerts and theatre productions.
Music festivals, such as the Afropunk, Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, Rocking the Daisies, Bafentse, Splashy Fen, Wakkerstroom, Ebubeleni, Diamond and Dorings and Cape Town Joy of Jazz contribute to the rich cultural heritage of South Africa.
Create a design solution to promote a music festival in your community/ neighbouring area(s). You can create your own music festival or use an existing festival as inspiration to create your design solution/product.
Create a Visual Communication/Information Design and/or Digital Design solution that promotes the festival through the following examples: a corporate branding identity that includes a logo, letterhead, business card, entrance ticket and a VIP/media pass. Other examples could include posters, newspaper and magazine advertisements, banners, billboards, schedules, wrist tags, brochures, packaging, venue maps, programmes and short animations or digital applications that promote your music festival.
Create a Surface Design and Two-dimensional Craft Design solution that promotes the festival, e.g. a textile fabric, a wallpaper design or another surface pattern solution.
Create a Product Design and Three-dimensional Craft Design solution that can be purchased to promote the festival or given to patrons as promotional gifts, e.g. pens, backpacks, water bottles, T-shirts, sweaters. Other examples could include industrial products and furniture designs. Traditional craft techniques utilised in a contemporary direction for the creation of promotional items/products can also be used for the promotion of the music festival.
Create an Environmental Design solution that can be seen in examples such as contemporary signage, wayfinding, audience communal spaces and bus stop shelters.
You are required to research music festivals and the designs that they incorporate, by looking around in your community, reading newspaper articles and magazines, etc. This research must be presented as part of your sourcebook/workbook of Topic 1. Refer to the criteria for the design process and final product together with the assessment guidelines on pages 20 and 21 of this question paper.

BRIEF/THEME 2: URBAN REGENERATION
THE BRIEF:
Urban regeneration (city renewal) is a direct response to urban decay and decline. Urban decay is a process whereby a previously functioning city, or part of it, falls into disrepair. This happens because of economic restructuring, high levels of crime and unemployment that contribute to abandoned buildings and weakening infrastructure. In an attempt to reverse urban decline by improving the physical appearance and structure of the affected areas, many municipalities have begun to go back to former central business districts to improve its infrastructure and economy. These areas are often renamed or referred to as precincts as part of urban regeneration.
Successful examples of urban regeneration are the Maboneng Precinct, the Hillbrow Ikhaya Project, 44 Stanley Avenue, the Jewel City Precinct and the Victoria Yards project, all located in Johannesburg. The Old Biscuit Mill and Cape Quarter Shopping Mall are located in Cape Town. Donkin Reserve is found in Port Elizabeth, 012 (Zero One Two) is located in Tshwane and the Rivertown Precinct is situated in 8 Morrison Street, Durban.
Create a design solution based on urban renewal for a specific area in your city, which has been affected by urban decay.
Your design solution can be developed in the following categories:
Create a Visual Communication/Information Design and/or Digital Design solution that promotes the precinct, e.g. a corporate branding identity that includes a logo, letterhead and business card for the corporate branding of a precinct. Other examples could include posters, newspaper and magazine advertisements, banners, billboards, brochures, packaging and precinct maps.
Create a Surface Design and Two-dimensional Craft Design solution that promotes the precinct, e.g. textile fabrics, wallpaper designs and surfaces patterns.
Create a Product Design and Three-dimensional Craft Design solution that can be purchased to promote the area or given to patrons as promotional gifts, e.g. pens, backpacks, water bottles, t-shirts, sweaters. Other examples could include industrial products and furniture designs. Traditional craft techniques utilised in a contemporary direction for the creation of chairs, tables, lampshades and chandeliers to be used in restaurants located in the city can be presented.
Create an Environmental Design solution that can be seen in examples such as contemporary signage, wayfinding, interior, exterior and/or landscape design solutions.
You are required to research urban regeneration and its purpose and benefits, by looking around in your community, read newspapers, view YouTube videos and magazines, etc. This research must be presented as part of your sourcebook/workbook of Topic 1. Refer to the criteria for the design process and final product together with the assessment guidelines on pages 20 and 21 of this question paper.

GLOSSARY: URBAN REGENERATION
Regeneration: the act or process of being renewed, revived or restored
Disrepair: poor condition of a building or structure due to neglect

REQUIREMENTS
SECTION A
TOPIC 1: THE DESIGN PROCESS [50]

1. All processIpreparatory work for your design must be shown in a sourcebook/ workbook.
2. This will involve the processes from conceptualisation to realisation.
3. Thorough investigation of problems posed by the design brief should be shown.
4. The sourcebook/workbook must be presented in the form of an album (that is in book form).
5. It must open easily and have pages that turn easily.
6. The sourcebook/workbook must be made of a light material to facilitate easier transportation where work is moderated at a central venue.
7. Ensure that the sourcebook/workbook is presented professionally.

NOTE:

• As TOPIC 1 (process/preparation) has the same mark allocation as TOPIC 2 (the final product), it should be given enough time to acknowledge its importance.
