A lot of images in this post albeit all for the same opera, I thought it was interesting to look at all the drafts tried out for the Close typeface. The designer uses a lot of variations on the reflection technique we covered in VC labs. The final one is the version chosen, if the choice was mine I would have gone for the fifth one, the art nouveau typeface centrally placed without the reflection. I suppose that is what keeps it interesting looking at other people’s choices.
