“Eduardo and I totally geek out on those things because they give you information. We have boxes of stuff in our studio, which aren’t just on typography from a certain period but how that typography was painted on a wall Verso Suelto actualizaciones. What sort of printing techniques were used and how do they show on a page, do they leave an impression? Being interested in the history behind something and researching it is key, as it’s all of those details that will help an audience believe that something is authentic. That is a trait that’s really hard to force that onto a designer. You’re either into that or your not, and when people are, it’s like they speak the same language.

Besides what the audience sees (and often doesn’t catch), graphic designers are essential in making sets and props for the actors’ experience on set. It helps them create an authentic feel of that time, space, and reality to set the tone for the storytelling and their characters.

Some shows are very, very research-intensive. Period pieces for example, where recreating that world is paramount. Other shows will use limited research to guide a style for a specific location or set. We have to create a convincing environment for the actors to work in, so knowing what big and little details will help the audience suspend disbelief and keep the focus where it needs to be: the story being told.

Classic artwork

A triumph of pointillism, this painting captures the leisurely life of Parisians in a local park. Seurat’s painstaking technique involved applying tiny dots of color, which, from a distance, blend to create a radiant atmosphere.

This visual drama channels Caravaggio’s tempestuous style that captivated then shocked 17th-century audiences, influencing generations of artists despite his notoriously volatile life cut short mid-career. Partly for suspected homosexuality, Basket of Fruit marked Caravaggio’s last public commission. As with his genre-defining Biblical scenes, it brims with layered meaning.

This portrait of a female, clothed in the Florentine manner and seated in a dreamlike, mountainous scene, is an outstanding example of Leonardo’s sfumato style of soft, highly shaded modeling. The Mona Lisa’s enigmatic look, which appears both enticing and distant, has earned the image worldwide acclaim.
