“Death By Chocolate is a corporate design and packaging concept for a non-existing chocolate label. It is my final year project in communication design at Folkwang University in Essen. The dbc products are divided into a candybar range, wrapped in a soft, matt foil and a more sophisticated range of chocolates. Both product ranges are finished with UV-Varnish and blind embossing.

We need more people like Rejoice Ngwenya in Zimbabwe. People who are willing to say it like it is. Here is Rejoice’s latest article: Many people who have expressed contrarian views on the wickedness of Mugabe , like yours, have only one slight problem – they won’t swap citizenship with me! We liberals in Zimbabwe [and there a miserly few of us] do accept that Leander Starr Jameson and his paymaster, Cecil John Rhodes, galloped across our fore fathers’ land and shot their way to the Deeds Office in 1890. Rhodes’ remains are now at Matobo Hills, a world heritage site that is part of our revered National Parks. Guess who was forcibly evicted from there in the 1900s?

As a Firefox user, it can be frustrating when a new build is released but your favourite extensions are not updated straight away. But from an extension developer’s point of view, it’s not always possible to make updates available on the same schedule as Firefox itself. It takes time for new versions to be accepted, because every new upload has to be manually reviewed and approved, a process that typically takes several weeks.
