Stamp Project, Step 3

Art Deco Style
Examples and Design Characteristics

Stamps 1 and 2 in the previous posts are also examples of art deco style.

Art Deco Design
- Streamline (althought "Streamline" is another art style, it is derrived from art deco). Every design has strong lines and are repeted on the same grid, or are paralell to one another.
- Linear symmetry, formal designs
- Very geometric, stays away from any organic lines
- Colors vary but most commonly seen is a monochromatic tone
- Grid oriented
- Can be seen in many buildings built in the 20's, 30's, and 40's
