THE LADIES OFCONTÉ CREATIVESAmanda Sibiya, an enthusiastic and passionate creative designer completed a diploma in Multimedia: Integrated Fine Art, Animation and Graphic Design from The Centre for Fine Art and Design in Durban.
Charmaine Ngobeni, a highly talented, driven and flexible creative designer completed a Degree in Illustration and Digital Imagery from Parsons The New School of Design in New York.
Both Amanda and Charmaine have a passion for the creative industry and do not want to be limited to only being either fashion, graphic or interior designer which is why the both call themselves “creative designers”. What brought them together was their desire to see more Creatives collaborate with each other to change how people currently think of the creative industry, this being the reason why they started their own company.

Our Agency is known for it’s Brand styling and Consultating. Think of Fashion, we style ourselves accordingly to fit who we are. It’s a way to Brand yourself, so when we associate ourselves with others, we can be identified within the crowd. Branding is not just a logo or a letterhead, It’s a way of being, it’s a lifestyle. Branding is what consumers use to identify you from the next com-pany/agency and our company aims to customize your identity to fit the core and essence of your company/agency.
The brand styling package would include: • Logo design• Business card• Promotional Material • Website design• Letterhead• Email signature• Stationary• Social Media design (promotional banners, Profile pictures, cover photos)• etc We design all of these options according to a style guide that we create for our clients, which would be consistent and cohesive.

One of the key business product, which was identified as crucial, was to identify and produce a magazine namely Conté Magazine, which was launched in May 2015. Part of the business is to address the social issues amongst all the Creative Industries in Africa, by addressing how the rest of South Africa views those in Creative fields.
The Conte Magazine, is a Creative portfolio aimed at driving collaboration among artists in order to turn the arts into a force to be reckoned with. Conté started a vision that would revolutionize the way people think of the creative industry internationally. It is more than just a creative portfolio, it allows the reader to be involved in the creative process, to make the transi-tion from consumer and viewer to creator and enthusiast. We are all about changing the way we work together and we are quite excited about this new adventure and we’d like to invite you along.
The Conté creative portfolio is aimed at creative African individuals such as Illustrators; fine artists; graphic designers; animators; architects; interior designers; poets; photographers and Fashion designers.These creatives are given the opportunity to be featured in both digital and print spheres (Conté Digital and Conté Magazine)Conté Digital is released monthly online, enabling artists to expand their reach to the international markets; those same artists are then allowed to fully exhibit their work in a themed print edition of the Conté, Conté Maga-zine.
Conté Magazine is a bi-annual creative book that is accompanied by an exhibition event, where all the featured artists get the chance to have their work exhibited. Twice a year Creatives have a platform to have their work displayed and fully exhibited. This is the ultimate Conté vision.
Moving forward, Conté’s mission is to expand its leadership role in the cre-ative market, using groundbreaking creative solutions and also expanding creative collaboration by using its publications.
CONTE MAGAZINE IS?
