Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, season 2018/2019

Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb is the central theatre institution in Croatia. The theatre produces around twelve premiers per year, all of which are presented with a different visual.

The initial points of the creative process were the institution’s architecture, which to most audience represents the main association with the theatre’s name, and stage space, which to most people is the first association with any theatre.

The visuals for each production are focused towards polished imitation of real objects, similar to the way in which the theater imitates life, but in an uncanny fashion that seems „more real than real“, with which a theatrical impression of the whole campaign is achieved.

Finally, visual consistency of the campaign is reinforced by the typographical framework, its elements and their positioning, which carries on from poster to poster.

Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, season 2018/2019

Hrvatsko narodno kazalište u Zagrebu najstarija je kazališna institucija u Hrvatskoj unutar koje djeluju tri ansambla: operni, dramski i baletni. Na godišnjoj razini HNK isproducira u prosjeku 12 premijera, a od toga šest drama, tri opere i tri baleta u sezoni 2018/2019.

Uz svoju kazališnu ulogu, Hrvatsko narodno kazalište u Zagrebu značajno je arhitektonsko neobarokno ostvarenje te ga to čini i turističkom atrakcijom. Upravo njegova arhitektura inspiracija je za oblikovanje plakata sezone 18/19.

Početna ideja bila je kroz cijelu sezonu postići izražen dojam volumena i prostornosti kod svakog vizuala. Tako postavljeni plakati za zajedničke okosnice imaju tipografske elemente i njihove pozicije, a noseći vizual inspiraciju crpi iz same predstave. Tehnika izvedbe plakata kombinacija je obrađene fotografije i 3d vizualizacije.
