Art Deco poster design influence in contemporary poster design


Strong cubism references, use of geometrical forms
Streamlining; straight lines creating illusion of movement and speed
“Limited” colour palette; use of different tonalities of same colour to create solid forms
Use of different tones within same colour range to create shadows and 3D effects
Representation of speed on the vertical lines in the building
-The strobe lines shot towards the sky
-The train lines creating perspective and movement
Use of contrast, alternating dark colours with light colours - Dark Blues -> Reds and Oranges -> Dark Blues
-Dark Blues -> Yellows, Light Blues -> Dark Blues
