This is a label for a bottle of wine. Now that I am in this class I am starting to see certain inspirations from the graphic art periods. I saw this in a art design magazine and it screamed Swiss/International. The quality of the art work is hard to tell through this scan, but I do enjoy the flush typeface with a a real strong use of a grid. The international style has to be one of my favorite periods so this easily caught my eye.

While is was at The Art Coop buying photography supplies I noticed this festival lineup in the front window. This is a local festival that is held here every year that has quite the unknown lineup of artists. This is a promotion poster describing all the bands that are to appear later this month. I feel the quality of work is good, the type is easy to read and the band of colors at the bottom brings your eye to the piece. The type in the header resembles Rockwell but it is not an exact match. The rest of the poster seems again to resemble Arial. This is interesting because when I was thinking about who might have designed this poster, I came to the realization that it could be the same designer that did the other post of mine. Like my previous post this image is again masculine, with a classic vibe. I feel the color adds a slight amount of warmth and that is what really drew me to the image the most.

This is a identity for a brand of furniture that I saw at Target over the weekend. These wordmarks were everywhere promoting their new mid-century modern style under this label. The design has a real elegant look and the designer did a great job with appropriating the style of the furniture with the logo. The initial reaction I got from this wordmark was a art deco feel. I feel it bleeds into the late modernism era as well. The style of the sixty-two closely resembles the Broadway font of the art deco period.

This is the Chrysler building in the lower east side of midtown Manhattan in New York City. It is an Art Deco inspired architectural structure that was finished in 1930 during the Early Modern and Art Deco movements.  I initially received a postcard from my sister when she visited New York City in the early 2000's. Reading about the movement this week reminded me of this postcard. The designs for the building were created by William Van Allen for Walter P Chrysler. The spire has a very strong Art Deco inspiration that was popular around the mid 20's to the late 30's.
