Bantjes - Stamp Concept
images
description
As part of a class in typographic systems, we were challenged to create a concept commemorative stamp system for Canada Post. Choosing Marian Bantjes was a reflection of my interest in her work. We were instructed to reference both the process and work of the artist/designer we were commemorating. With Bantjes, it became clear that it would be too superficial to work from her calligraphic works. I looked deeper into her book, and attending her talk at Emily Carr University. In the end I decided to focus on her love of patterns, codes and structure. I created a pattern from the manipulated letterforms of her name and created a stamp system based on this. I included a calligraphic reference in the international stamp.

This is my second attempt at using Adobe Illustrator, the goal of the project was to illustrate a quote. (My first attempt was an utter failure, and has since been destroyed)
Since this was a t-shirt type saying I thought it appropriate to give it a t-shirt print look.
Book cover design and illustration

I have been doing more painting for book covers rather than just finding stock images or doing a flat drawing in Illustrator. For both of these book covers, I designed the graphics in Illustrator to get client approval, then created a mixed media painting based on the Illustrator layout and using digital printouts. In the end, all was scanned in again and digitally manipulated.
