The “Michelangelo of custom lettering” gets earthy with her latest impossibly intricate design.
Designer Marian Bantjes has been collecting soil and sand from her travels for over six years. After traveling to locations as far-flung South Africa, Argentina, and the Phillippines—usually for design conferences—Bantjes returns to her home in Canada with a jar full of the place. Now she’s putting her collection to good use in an impossibly intricate poster for the Alliance Graphique International (AGI).
