Glyndebourne Festival Illustration 2019

Glyndebourne Festival Illustration 2019

A set of illustrations created for the 2019 Glyndebourne Festival and Tour. The illustrations are a combination of collage, painting and drawing. They formed the visual identity for the season, appearing in Glyndebourne programmes and on the website.

Included in the Festival set are:

Festival Cover Image

The cover image introduced a surreal collage-based visual identity to represent Glyndebourne’s Festival and Tour in 2019.

The artwork combined images of the gardens and grounds at Glyndebourne with musicians, performers and picnicking audience members. There are more surreal elements too, such as foxes, badgers and other animals dressed for the opera. There are also streams of isolated smiling mouths, ears and eyes that represent the sensory experience that Glyndebourne operas offer.

Tour Cover Image

The visual identity for the tour in 2019 was an evolution of the festival collage-based artwork. The concept for the tour hero image was based on a tree.
