Graphic Design variations
ispired by Giacomo Puccini "Madame Butterfly"
This project was based on Giacomo Puccini opera "Madame Butterfly".Creating the final design for my poster, I used a sharper focus on the balance, the transparency and the texture. These three graphic design principles have an idea in depth. The woman in red color lets us recognize that the story is about an eastern country - Japan (Madam Butterfly: A Tragedy of Japan in 1904). A diagonal composition in the poster clarifies that life doesn’t flow straight, it has tops and bottoms. According to the opera, lady’s life line was slowly going down, untill she decided to do a suicide. Using transparency tool I created the mood as fading physically but not spiritually (butterflies are a metaphora of the spirit and they are not fading away, they are vivid). It’s like her soul reached the eternity. Basically the mood is not being showed as sadness it’s more like emancipation after the pain, that she had being alive. Talking about the texture, it divides into two different moods between fading-sadness (lady’s silhouette) and emotional release (butterfly’s silhouette).
