Opus 8
Opus 8 comprises eight of Toronto’s finest ensemble singers, dedicated to musical excellence in the pursuit of sharing the best choral music with the widest audience possible. “Silly and serious, sublime and audacious, Opus 8’s vision is an ambitious and compelling venture into spreading their love of music-making at an internationally high standard.”
We first approached this project with a logo to aid in rooting the octet to the classical time periods they engage with. A timeless typeface, artfully adjusted to add customization and context, and a rich colour palette of glittering gold and royal purple made a unique mark.
The group had some fantastic individual portraits made at the time of their debut recording’s creation, and we wished to incorporate them into the album’s design and packaging. The illustrations were used on the front cover, and I was able to sample from them to provide the textures incorporated throughout the design.
What We Did: Logo design, Album design
