  • These are artists interpretations of a popular show and movie
  • It's function is purely entertainment
  • I saw this at an estate sale
  • The work is very well thought out and is very clear. The colorful parts of the images takes identifying elements from the show and movie and arranges the items off center but grouped together. 
  • I feel as if this is contemporary with serif font that mimics the type that is original to each production.
  • I was drawn to these because they are trendy yet classic. They feel very masculine. They do not seem cold or static. The colors in these are bold and energetic. The illustrations are playful and arranged on a grid.

Art: Alphonse Mucha Found: The I.D.E.A. Store This is an ad for Job Rolling Papers By Alphonse Mucha The function of this work is to advertise. The target audience is younger women.

Dieppe Packaging Found  This is a small package about 4x2 inches I am not sure of it's function as there is writing in French. I am assuming that it was some sort of tourist card pack that had images of popular tourist locations and told about them on the back. I found this at a consignment shop on Staley Road The quality of this art work is very detailed and small. It looks like something that was probably mass produced and was made to fit in your pocket.  This looks as if it is from the Art Nouveau era. The big thick all caps type that is rounded along with the organic delicate flowing lines and the gold lettering and accents in the image screams Art Nouveau to me.  The bold colors of the mixture of the bold and delicate lines are what attracted me to this piece. They are very distinctive.
