 Marian Bantjes 

      Marian Bantjes is a graphic design but more specifically an illustrator. Bantjes is an independent artisan who scape once in a while to her house in a small island so she can work on her creativity. I really enjoyed to see how Bantjes transform her amazing ideas into real stuff. Several people from the graphic design world expressed the ways how they feel about Marian Batjes; how she have been changing the design industry through her beautiful products. In this video Bantjes present us some of her final works; one of those final works are the christmas recycled gift cards. Even when I'm not to much into typography I can clearly see Bantjes' talent when she is lettering. Bantjes show us the particularly way in how she gets inspire and then how she finalize her amazing artisan work.
