cinderella: the australian ballet brochure

Studies into Finished Art brought a simulated brief for The Australian Ballet, whereby skills in producing a file for print were of focus. The brief entailed a brochure-design that was to advertise the event of their upcoming tour - a performance of ‘Cinderella’, with a twist! However, to save costs, the client wanted a duotone colour palette derived from the list of Pantone Spot Colours. It was essential that the tone of The Australian Ballet was consistent with their previous pieces, therefore their provided copy and photographs were to be used in the final piece. The final artwork needed to be print-ready with consideration to material selection.

paper stock considerations:

Spicer’s Monza Satin Recycled ticked all the boxes with the added advantage that it is 100% recycled. The coated finish means that it will produce more vibrant colour, while the fact that it is a satin means it will have a more luxe tone than a matte-finish while still being more readable than a gloss with too high a sheen. It is more of an ivory white which tends to have a more luxe feel which suits going to a ballet performance and is soft and delicate to touch.
