I Wonder by Marian Bantjes

I Wonder by Marian Bantjes

Quirky, poignant, astute, funny – this beautiful book presents a colourful collection of observations on visual culture and design, written and illuminated by world-renowned typographic illustrator Marian Bantjes. Whether intricately hand-drawn or using precise computer illustration software, her highly ornamental, craftsman-like word-pictures have earned her professional acclaim and a cult following around the world.

'Marian's work is absolutely personal, alarmingly obsessive and embarrassingly sensuous' - Michael Bierut, Pentagram
'A gilt-edged new tome … an eccentric mix of musings, personal anecdotes and what she, herself, calls ‘harebrained ideas … rich, playful and often funny' - Wallpaper*
'A generous collection of essays lovingly typeset, illustrated, laid out and produced in a manner that resists a quick glance, a skim read or any easy generalisation or summary … undeniably obsessively stylish but its contents are by turn informed, witty and movingly personal' - Eye

Marian Bantjes started working as a book typesetter in Canada in the mid-1980s, later opening her own successful firm. In 2003, working in her studio on a small island off the coast of Vancouver, she began to develop her own style of typography. Since then, her work has developed an international cult following. She is the author/creator of Pretty Pictures and Certificates for Everyday Things, both published by Thames & Hudson.
