Zusammenfassung

Summary

Ten productions, one poster grid. Each title is set in grotesque caps and each composer's name in Fraktur, so the season reads at a glance from across a platform.

Geschichte

The story

The brief

An opera house with a beautiful auditorium and a marketing department of two. Every poster had been a separate commission.

The system

A fixed poster template: composer in Fraktur, work in Switzer capitals, date in mono. Photography is optional; the grid is not.

The result

Poster production time dropped from three weeks to four days, and the season book doubles as the programme for the box office.

Empty theater auditorium with an illuminated stage and seating

The posters finally look like a season.
