johnson banks: phonetikana

'what design can do' is a series of six large-scale banners by johnson banks, which were commissioned for beijing design week 2011.

for this year's london design festival johnson banks have designed a collection of maps that will help visitors pinpoint some of the V&A museum's design highlights.

johnson banks recently finished the first stages of a new identity for ravensbourne college. at the core of the scheme is a flexible logo based on the college's facade by foreign office architects.

embracing the cold climate of her native canada, the graphic designer has developed a series of installations comprised of larger than life texts spelled out in block letters made from ice.

the dynamic typeface was created using 3D max and realflow to simulate the forming and destruction of each letter via splashing, exploding fluids.

the temporary installation creates an landscape indoors, composed of sculptured alphabet letters that together form the text of robert walser's poem 'oppressive light'.
