This project serves as an experimental venture in type-based poster design. While visual language is important in capturing the viewer's attention, an added layer of text signals that the poster must also present itself with clarity. To achieve this not only requires a defined grid system but an eye for typographic treatment and text hierarchy.

Considering the classical elements already displayed through motifs and patterns, a contrasting balance was achieved through a more simplistic approach on typeface. Emphasizing legibility, the sans-serif Degular font was introduced for body text while Fabiola Capitals with its subtle serifs and thick strokes served as the headings for the opera titles.

The final version of The Metropolitan Opera event poster marries text and illustration into a seamless design. To avoid having any one aspect overpower another, all elements were carefully placed so that the final poster communicates a whole picture as opposed to a patchwork of smaller components. With such prestige that The Metropolitan Opera embodies, the color and pictorial treatments become an extension to that same narrative.
