ENO tunes up in-house design team

English National Opera is implementing a series of design projects, including a possible revision of its identity, originally designed by CDT, following the formation of its first in-house design team in the summer.

A new-look website – www.eno.org – launched last week, has been created in collaboration with De-construct. Print material to support the ENO’s 2006 spring season has been designed in-house.

The team will also work on specialist campaigns for key productions. For instance, The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant features photography by Richard Kendal.

Headed by Matt Dixon, who joined in June from the South Bank Centre, the team also includes designer Anthony Gatt and webmaster Mark O’Neil.

Design was brought in-house because of financial concerns and a desire to deliver ‘greater consistency of style’, says Gatt.
