Marian Bantjes -

Marian is a designer, typographer, writer and illistrator, she works internationally for her base on a small island just off the west coast of Canada. She is a member of the Alliance  graphiqe internationale (AGI).

In 1984 she worked as a book typesetter, then she moved on to open her own design in 1994 and employed up to 12 people, in 2003 she left all of it be hide and started doing her own she out of love and not money. By making her work highly personal to her, her work became better, even if sometimes It just plain odd and weird. At the same time she was doing this she became making a weblog called “Speak Up” and her articles became noticed by blogosphere, this lead her to be noticed by many art directors in USA North America.

 Marian’s art and design is loved my many all over the world. She is most know for her detailed and precise vector art, she is also known for her amazing handwork, and patterns, she is often hired to create custom type for magazine company’s, advertising and special projects.

The techniques that Marian uses are vector images, this image that I have choosen is very simple, it’s just a feather and the title “The Birds” in the feather, but the simplicity makes it look better.

Most of Marian Bantjes design styles are based around patterns, she think of a simple object like a heart and colours it in with different pattens, the end results looks very effective.
