[4.A] The poster works of A.M.Cassandre
There were several well-known types designed in 1930s, such as Times New Roman and Bell Gothic, but I choose a special type names Peignot designed by the French graphic designer A.M. Cassandre. Cassandre is notable by his Art Deco style which presents an ideal image of modern life. Especially, his poster work for Cle. Gle. Transatlantique [4.A] is a icon of Art Deco design. So I decided to feature the ocean liner in this poster into my work, by re-creating an illustration based on the shape.
