Design Challenge

The challenge in this project was to find an icon which can illustrate the tragic opera plot.

Research

Research was based on exploring the avant-guard style and also the latest trends in contemporary visual language. Also iconology and expressionism were the topics for research.

Inspiration

Designer was inspired with the portraits of Malevich due to the minimalist iconic shapes and the painting of Munch "The Scream" due to the open emotional expression. Also the big sourse of inspiration was Memphis style - open colours, contrast, simple shapes.
