After Class 3/31

Today in class, we got to know a little more about my personal favorite movement in design; Art Deco. Art Deco was a movement that was supposed to be fully brought to light in 1925 at Paris' Exposition of Art and Architecture. Fortunately, it was not opened to the public but it slowly evolved as the years went on. Between 1920's through the 1930's, Art Deco thrived as a new, awe-inspiring design that is still used today. Its use of bold color and pastel color along with more geometric designs with little detail. "Less Is More" was the main slogan during the time. When it came to the typography of the movement, the use of bold, fat lines sprinkled with thin lines to accent letters created a new font that can be easily viewed as "Broadway" style. Overall, the design, color, architecture, and typography of Art Deco just speaks to my eye and my feelings about design, thus making it my favorite movement in design history.

Question: What is it about Art Deco that still keeps many, including myself, interested today?? And why did Disney's MGM Studio's create an Art Deco city within the park?? Some great food for thought in my eyes =D
