Recent Grad: Tony Lee, Jr.

Take a look at this beau­ti­ful senior project by Tony Lee Jr., a recent grad­u­ate of Carnegie Mellon. He devel­oped visual iden­ti­ties for three Puccini operas, includ­ing La Boheme, which I’ve fea­tured below. In addi­tion to the iden­tity, he cre­ated sev­eral mate­ri­als includ­ing a series of posters that builds sequen­tially, var­i­ous envi­ron­men­tal adver­tis­ing and a hard­cover book for the opera’s libretto. Get a closer look at more images of this and the two other operas he designed, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly, right here.
