As part of MIAD's competitive internal internship, Visual Resources, I was challenged to create a set of cohesive, approachable visuals for the four shows in the Florentine Opera Company's 2012 Season.
In order to appeal to a broad audience and help visualize opera's emotional intensity I illustrated simple but dramatic symbols in a stylized manner, inspired by cut-paper. The climactic depictions, reminiscent of simplified Victorian toy theater cut-outs, are set against vivid backdrops painted as a reaction to each show's score.
This project was selected as the winning design and was used by the opera company to promote their 2012 season.
