Art Movement Examples

Art Nouveau:

 I chose this book cover as an example of art nouveau because of it's use of strong curvilinear shapes and floral designs.

Victorian:

 Match box covers.  The defined borders, type in banners, and busy embellished designs make for great examples of victorian design.  The lower one shoes later victorian concepts with fewer curves in the lettering and a less busy background.

Plakatstil: 

 Fond this image on a web article about the history of video games.  The poster itself is obviously missing the older look that it should for it's contents and attempted style; but the flat-color design, limited use of type and a strong central image still makes it a good attempt at mimicking the Plakatstil style.

Art Nouveau:

The Tree of Life, Designed by Morris & Co.

One of the most recognized  tapestries designed by Morris & Co.  Elongated vertical subject depicted with "growing" organic movement.

Art Deco:

X-Men Poster by Eric Tan.

A great modern example of Art Deco poster design.  Integration of the words as a part of the image, strong use of geometric shapes and limited color.
