N2  - Marian Bantjes's first complete monograph, revealing the astonishing range of her graphic design, typography and illustration over the past decade. From a remote cabin off Canada's Pacific coast, Marian Bantjes has created a unique visual language that combines typographical craftsmanship, illustrative flair and personal observation. Her generous approach, meticulous attention to detail and wit have made her one of the most sought-after graphic artists of her generation. Presented loosely chronologically and with candid commentary throughout, this large-scale book traces Bantjes's fascinating trajectory from her early work as a typesetter to her adoption of digital technologies that push conventional print production to the limit. It examines the way she works, collaborates and creates her "pretty pictures", echoing the wry cultural observation and design comment that marked her seminal I Wonder publication
