Designing Minds: Marian Bantjes
Editor’s Note: Designing Minds is on a short break in preparation for the launch season two featuring all new episodes showcasing design in everyday life. This episode of Designing Minds is a special syndication from the Zoom in Online Design Channel video archive. A portrait of world-renowned designer, illustrator and typographer Marian Bantjes during her appearance at the recent Design Matters Live event presented by Adobe and the AIGA. Marian shares her love for the design community and the importance of staying connected, even while working from her idyllic rural home studio. She speaks about her transition from a more traditional design career path to a much more personally fulfilling mix of work. Marian has an obvious love for what she does, sharing some of the inspiration for her recent projects as diverse as hand-drawn valentines to the type treatment for the "Want It!" campaign at Saks Fifth Avenue. Marian's insights in this portrait are important for anyone who cares passionately about design and respects the craft of the artist. For more episodes of Designing Minds, click here.
