- So what distinguishes this style from all of the rest? Basically it was a "modernization" of many artistic styles and themes from the past. You can easily detect in many examples of Art Deco the influence of Far and Middle Eastern design, Greek and Roman themes, and even Egyptian and Mayan influence. Modern elements included echoing machine and automobile patterns and shapes such as stylized gears and wheels, or natural elements such as sunbursts and flowers.
- As i am a big fan of everything about ancient culture and art, especially ancient Egypt, I find myself really drawn to this meeting of styles.
- The eyes of the god Horus are recognisable as prominent symbols of ancient Egypt, so perhaps echoing the stylisation of the eyes around this somewhat in my design would work well...? So ... My 3 main graphic design influences for my project so far are Art Deco, Spanish style and colour (and flamenco), and ancient Egyptian art. These three design elements are to be used now to create logo ideas, which I have decided to draw by hand and transfer electronically later.
