Mehr von Marian Bantjes…

Wie das Informationsmedium unsere Wahrnehmung prägt, ist schon erstaunlich: Vor wenigen Tagen berichtete ich über Marian Bantjes und wie mir ihre Person aufgefallen ist, als ich das Cover des aktuellen Zeit MAGAZINs LEBEN bewunderte.

Yes, that was sloppy of me. I should have put some kind of source there. I think it’s from the book ’Alphabet’, an international annual of letterforms. Unfortunately only one issue was released, in 1964. The book is somewhere at home, so I’ll dig it up later.

Love this blog and these posts. Really liked the octopus, among other things. i tried creating flowers out of type a couple of months ago, kinda fun. Made me wonder about creating more complex figures, and then I find Johno’s find. Nice.

-As for contests, I really like the idea of using ground meat, tealights, even teabags for creating fonts. Sarah France, a friend and excellent designer, recently made a nice ampersand constituted by (what seem to be) small bits of wood. So a contest to create your own type, or rather adapting another, using unusual materials seems rather enticing. Having no formal type training whatsoever, I did not have anything of the sort at school.

-Designing a bookcover for an imaginary book, maybe with a given or random theme. Maybe like the Dadaists, we could make up a theme or title from random words selected from a user created pool.

-best hand made font (this includes my first proposal, but could be limited to hand drawn/painted)

-all I got for now, gotta get to work now, designing my personal image and choosing the proper type is killer!

Cheers fro Colombia.

That hamburger ‘face’ is great. That’s a whole lotta beef. I wish I was half as clever/creative as the people that create the stuff you post.
