About Joewe.

Full Name is Joewe Ntwanano Khosa (Limpopo, South Africa) born, a developed artist whose key strengths are in graphic design, illustrating and interpreting ideas so they come to life.

A little brief on me, it all started when I discovered an app called adobe Draw for android/iOS back in 2016 in tertiary/Collage while studying my qualification in information systems (IT) which is something a little bit different from design /art.

From there I started posting most of the doodles Illustrated on Instagram and that brought engagement which led illustrating from a hobby to a livelihood.
All this made me up skill and learn more design software's from adobe products to Corel and AutoCAD.

 Today I’m a Gauteng / South Africa based freelance graphic designer with 7 years experience and have collaborated with a number of South African and international brands creating comics, designing album and podcast covers, working on brand campaigns/presentations, adverts, promos, illustrating children’s coloring books, designing graphic for clothing lines, working on User interfaces UI/UX, Website Design, working on TV production costume designs where I interpreted sketches to digital, brand strategizing , designing logos and mock ups,
And still I’m learning...

I've been blogging since 2012

https://newagehistory.wordpress.com/

As a dedicated

Content Creator & Culture Correspondent

for New Age History during its formative years (2012-2018), I was responsible for driving the blog’s focus on

emerging South African hip-hop, music production, and the broader creative youth culture.

My role involved a full cycle of content creation, from scouting talent to publishing and promotion, positioning the blog as a voice for the underground and independent South African music scene.

Key Responsibilities and Achievements

Blogging & Content Production (2012–2018)

Pioneered a Focus on SA Underground Music:

Wrote, edited, and published articles and long-form posts (including the signature in-depth interviews) focusing on rising artists and producers across South Africa, particularly the Free State and Limpopo regions.

Conducted High-Profile Interviews:

Secured and conducted interviews with key independent figures, including artists like

Sniper

and producers like

BlaQBeatz\_ZA,

providing exposure and insight into their creative process, business strategy, and personal journeys.

Managed Content Pipeline:

Independently managed the research, writing, editing, formatting, and publication schedule for multiple blog posts per month.

Visual and Multimedia Curation:

Sourced, captured, or edited accompanying multimedia, including event photos and artist images, to enhance post engagement and visual appeal.

Culture & Community Engagement

Served as a Local Correspondent:

Actively tracked and reported on local cultural events, new music releases, and trends within the South African creative community.

Fostered Community:

Responded to reader comments and managed social media interactions to build a loyal following and encourage dialogue around the content.

Creative & Strategy Contribution

Explored Broader Creative Themes:

Contributed articles on general topics of creativity, lifestyle, personal inspiration, and digital work (e.g., being a "creative" in the digital age), broadening the blog’s appeal beyond music.

Refined the Blog's Voice:

Helped establish the unique, conversational, and direct editorial voice of New Age History, making it relatable to a youth audience.

Platform Maintenance:

Gained practical experience in using WordPress for content management, minor layout adjustments, and basic SEO tagging (e.g., using relevant categories and tags like 'HIP HOP', 'production', 'South African').
