Art Deco Poster

Stylised geometry, speed lines and metallic ink, selling modernity as glamour.

What it does

A. M. Cassandre's Normandie and Nord Express posters compress a ship or a locomotive into a few geometric masses seen from a low viewpoint, so the object reads as monumental. Type is integrated into the geometry rather than laid on top, often in a high-contrast geometric sans that Cassandre drew himself. The palette is deep and limited with a metallic or a strong warm accent. It is a commercial style: the subject is always aspiration.

The prompt

An Art Deco travel poster for [Subject]. Subject simplified into a few bold geometric masses seen from a low dramatic viewpoint so it reads monumental. Symmetrical composition, speed lines and stepped sunburst motifs, type in a high-contrast geometric sans integrated into the geometry rather than sitting on top. Deep limited palette, midnight blue and cream with a gold metallic accent. Flat stone lithography, no photographic texture.

Replace [Subject] with what you are shooting. Everything else is deliberate: the gear, stock and lighting are what push a generator towards this look.
