1890s | French Art Nouveau Poster
In this project, I selected a historical style that I was attracted to, and I then applied it to a contemporary design problem. The required time period to select from in this project includes the premodern era of 1870-1920.
Reference Images:
Color lithographs "Etudes des Fleurs" by C. Riom.
Thumbnail Sketches
I mimicked the styles of C. Riom, but I added in native Arizona desert florals and plants.
