Graphic Design

Following the typical art deco style, graphic designs were streamlined and geometric. Adding to this new style was the new typography that was more angular than the curvy style of Art Nouveau. The composition of these designs weighed heavily on the beauty and style, function alone was no longer acceptable. Function and beauty had to stand hand in hand when it came to everything; book jackets, building signs, posters, etc.. The sentiment of the day was that "the street was the art gallery for the public" (Aynsley, 2003) and nowhere is this sentiment most obviously expressed, as in the area of Graphic Design.
