The Gold Pack Awards, issued by the Institute of Packaging South Africa (IPSA) since 1973, showcase the SA packaging industry.
Vorster selected the Whole Earth Farms brand from the US to improve and redesign by reflecting that its grain-free product line includes six dry dog foods. Click here for more on her winning work, which features a dog wearing a farm cap, linking the two themes of pets and farms.
Vorster: Pretoria.
Vorster: Definitely receiving a student Gold Pack silver for overall graphic design packaging design for a redesigned package project, as well as student Gold Pack first place for the best in project two category, ‘redesigning a branded package’, while in my second year of studies.
Vorster: I completed the first and second year of my degree successfully with distinction in many of my subjects and an overall average of above 70%.
In addition, every year my best work forms part of Design School SA’s exhibition to showcase projects we have completed throughout the year.

Vorster: I attend my classes and then go home to work on my projects. Sleep, eat and repeat.
Vorster:
Vorster: I think Nike and Coca-Cola are definitely brands to watch.
Vorster: The advertising design’s struggle is real, to get to the point where the viewer is not only getting what they need out of the advert but also grasping your message as intended.
Billboards also have too much information for someone that’s driving by.
Vorster: I’m busy with an internship at Zero Plus, an awesome design and printing company.
Vorster:
Vorster: When I am taking a relaxing bubble bath, when I go out with friends or when brainstorming with my family.
Vorster: I can hula hoop non-stop. I can also sing and harmonise.
Vorster: Photos of my friends, family and anything cute or fluffy.
Vorster: You need to know where the industry has been before you understand where the industry is going. Never be afraid to ask questions or for help. When you don’t know how, use Google or YouTube!
Simple as that. Contact Vorster on Facebook or LinkedIn for more.
