Ever heard of Marian Bantjes?
Canadian Graphic Artist, Typographer, Writer and Illustrator.
Her remarkable designs sprung to mind after researching Antoine + Manuel's similar decorative pieces using typography. So decorative i could cry! Her work is stunning to look at and the degree of detail in her works are phenomenal and this recurrs throughtout most of her works. What makes her good at what she does is the amount of intricacy which is evident through this book I found.
I came across this book she designed online. Each page of exquisite patterns being meticulously and carefully put together using metallic foils.

Come to think of it, her typographical work resembles the work of Stefan Sagmeister as well as Antoine et Manuel. I have chosen not to write anything on Sagmeister this year...unless told to do so, obviously. I wrote far too much about this guy in my foundation year at college. Bores the the hell out of me...! Sorry sagmeister, if your reading this.
I love her minimalistic use of colour yet her complexity of the design .
Like Antoine et Manuel I am all for her love for considering her decorativeness around her typographical work as well as just the type itself. It brings life to each of the characters, sort of giving the words their own ''personality''.
