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.
