Influences

Interesting influences I found....
  • Coco Chanel
  • Radio design-based on pure geometric shape
  • Rug-both geometry and parallel lines
  • Buildings
  • Movie theaters
  • Sculptures-elegance, clean lines
  • Logos
  • Modernity, Technology, Luxury and Leisure

Here are some famous Art Deco artists:

A.M. Cassandre (His "L'ATLANTIQUE" at the Paris Exposition is my favorite of his)

  • Advertising posters and type designs.
  • Began with text and choice of typography 
  • Illustrations always based on geometric shapes
  • Reduced his subjects to silhouettes and geometric shapes
Tamara De Lempicka (I really enjoy her bold colors and distinctive style)
  • Distinctive and bold artistic style
  • Novel, clean, precise, and elegant
  • Desire and seduction
Roger Broders
  • Tourism-luxury travel, exotic locations and leisure activities
  • Color harmonies
  • Vibrant blocks of color, simple, strong lines and plain typefaces.
