Great video from TED of Marian Bantjes and her beautiful typographic work, which sometimes is made out of sugar and macaroni!

Monday 22nd March, 2010 | HUNGRY BEAST

I’m really lovin Hungry Beast on the ABC. I particularly love the awesome typographic animations that always illustrate mega interesting facts. In this animation The Beast File looks at Australias Big Two supermarket chains. Woolworths & Coles are a $100 billion a year duopoly with a retail market share unmatched in the developed world. And they have their fingers in a lot of other pies too.

Meet Google. The noun that became a verb. The world’s favourite search engine, and the company whose motto is “Don’t be evil…” Graphics by Patrick Clair, written by Elmo Keep.

And this one… It’s gratifying to know that my hard earned tax dollars are going to good use…NOT!!!!!

Monday 22nd March, 2010 | JESSICA HISCHE

The beautiful typography of Jessica Hische, who was amazingly enough on Triple J last week. My ears had to take a double take, when I heard that the breakfast crew were interviewing a type designer on a music station…unexpectedly weird but cool.

I still prefer Marian Bantjes work, but it’s right up there.
