My name is Danielle Botha and I am the @oddidee. I am a BA in visual communications graduate and I specialise in illustration, digital and graphic design as well as 2D animation. My illustration style revolves around unique people, animals and other quirky, peculiar and badass characters. If I could be any inanimate object – I would probably be duct tape because I’m good at fixing things and solving problems.
The Flip Side is an apparel range targeted at men who have mental illnesses (such as depression and anxiety) or are going through a difficult time mentally and aims to let them know that they are supported. This project stems from the insight that men’s emotions and feelings are often disregarded by society (and themself) and repressed. This leads to men having a higher suicide rate than women. These apparel items, while bright and upbeat, aims to show men that they are supported – in a private way.

If you have ever seen Ouma or Oupa struggle to use their digital devices – look no further than a recipe book for using a smartphone.

Older adults may sometimes feel embarrassed, or like they are an inconvenience to those they ask for technological assistance. This booklet aims to remove these negative emotions associated with asking for help by providing a visually interesting manual that the reader can go through at their own pace.
