Vuvuzero, whats your story? with DaRKo by DuncanBoxie

Vuvuzero is the hilarious winning submission for the 35 nations of Football, done by none other than DaRKo. Lets find out a bit more about his brilliant new design shall we.

1. What were you thinking when you first started the design?

I strongly disliked the vuvuzela and when I heard there was a worldcup theme I knew what I had to do.

2. Do you think foreigners will “get” this design?

I don’t think so, unless they know what a vuvuzela is, but I hope they still “get” the t-shirt.

3. How long did it take you to complete your piece?

A couple of minutes

4. Did any other artwork inspire you to create this?

The menacing shape of the vuvuzela, with a light tinge of cheap African street signage

5. Do you think this design reflects your state of mind from when it

was created?

Yes, pretty accurately, it is still my current state of mind, the world will leave SA with a headache unless we do something about it

6. Is this your normal style or an experiment?

It’s an experiment, I’m surprised it was even liked, let alone a winning design.

7. Which design do you feel was your closest competitor for this compo?

I liked the Soccer supporter Playing Card idea, but it could have been done better.

8. Where is the last place you would expect to see this design?

On Jacob Zuma at the WorldCup final between South Africa and Germany.

9. What kind of person do you see wearing this design?

A clueless yuppie who would rather blow his income on a trip to South Africa to watch some overpriced sporting events than spend it on a worthy cause,

Like the thousands of starving kids he flies over getting here.

10. If vuvuzela are too noisy, what do you think could be a better alternative?

Lets use a little initiative and a bit of collective intelligence and work on some war cries or soccer chants, listen to England, listen to Ireland, listen to Germany… listen to HHHOOORRRNN!!!! No thank you.
