Marian Bantjes

Marian has had successful career doing exactly what she believed in doing. She started with typography and laying text in books. She was a writer on speak up and was seen as a writer. She left her company and had enough money to not work for about a year. She started doing custom typography and very creative works that had a lot of feed back but wasn't finding the type of work she wanted. She was split on what she believed in doing and the type of work she was doing for people. She would create a body of work and sent it out as promotion, basically unsolicited junk mail. Most of her work was custom Valentines, and Christmas cards. Many people were seeing these special pieces and how much thought and time went into them they would start saving them. She had a big break after designing a t-shirt that won in a competition that she didn't even want to compete in. It just goes to show that you should always do what you believe.
