Marian Bantjes is a designer, typographer, writer and illustrator working internationally from her base on a small island off the west coast of Canada, near Vancouver.

Her work is distinctly ‘classical’ and adult. It’s the sort of thing you expect your seasoned graphic design lecturer at university to produce – thought-through, purposeful and just looks really polished. Marian certainly has her own style, but it’s clear each brief has been processed with integrity.

A truly great inspiration for young designers to learn from.

“My name is Julian, I live in New York, and I love the abstract arts. I also love great illustration that portrays more than zombies and blood. I’ve been working in the high end fashion industry for 3+ years working for companies like Howe Men to companies like RVCA(working on the Erin Wasser line.) I have knowledge in the field of graphic design, all the way to cut and sew. My fields are for sale, and I am almost always available for hire.”
