“During the course of our long relationship with The Canadian Opera Company, we had the pleasure of working with Montréal photographer Valerie Simmons for two consecutive years to produce thematic images representing the season's lineup of operas. To celebrate this partnership, we produced a promotional custom daytimer featuring the images and appropriately named it ‘Coloratura’—meaning colored and often used in music referring to very high, light, floating voice such as a soprano,” said art director Ric Riordon and creative director Alan Krpan. “The word mark for the book was designed to reflect these attributes heard in music with graceful and whimsical lines floating and interacting with the letters and was featured as an engraved tip-in in a debossed area on the cover.”
