Post pobrano z: What Is Art Nouveau?

The ornamental Art Nouveau design style emerged in France in the late 19th century and became widely popular across Europe, with the style applied to art, architecture, posters, jewelry, furniture, and textiles. 

Although Art Nouveau had fallen out of fashion by 1910, contemporary designers and illustrators are now revisiting and modernising the style to bring an emotive, romantic quality to their work.

Here, we’ll look at the defining characteristics of the Art Nouveau movement and how you can emulate the style in your own designs. 

Love the Art Nouveau style? Make a head start on creating your own decorative designs by picking up borders, patterns and fonts in the Art Nouveau style from GraphicRiver and Envato Elements.

What Is Art Nouveau?

Towards the end of the 19th century, some artists felt limited by the style of ‘academic art’ which had been popular for many decades. Initially in France, a few artists broke away from the rigours of the old academic style and started to create art that explored organic, highly decorative forms in a more stylized and sensual way.

In 1895, the art dealer Siegfried Bing opened the Maison de l’Art Nouveau, a new art gallery in Paris. Through the gallery, Bing sold fabrics designed by William Morris and glassware by Tiffany, and showcased paintings and furniture in the Art Nouveau style. 

The style became hugely popular, not only in France but across Europe and America too. Artists like Alphonse Mucha helped to popularise the style by creating advertisements and postcards in the Art Nouveau style, promoting cigarettes, alcohol, and confectionery. 

Art Nouveau was a total art form, meaning that its influence could be seen across a wide range of fine and decorative arts, including architecture, furniture, and illustration. Inspired by the curved, organic forms of plants and flowers, Art Nouveau is a highly decorative, romantic and ornate style which is undeniably very beautiful to look at.

How You Can Create Your Own Art Nouveau Designs and Illustrations

While the minimal lines of modernism or the geometric symmetry of Art Deco hold a lot of appeal for designers today, many illustrators and designers are choosing to revisit the more organic style of Art Nouveau. Perhaps in line with the current trend for maximalism in design, Art Nouveau suddenly feels fresher and more relevant for now. 

Here we’ll look at some tips for creating your own Art Nouveau-inspired designs and illustrations.

1. Look to the Greats for Inspiration

If you’re new to working with an Art Nouveau style, it’s always a good idea to seek out some inspiration first. 

If you look at the work of some of the best-known Art Nouveau artists, you can start to spot common traits and identify some of the key defining characteristics of the style, which you can then apply to your own work. 

The Czech painter Alphonse Mucha is probably the most widely known Art Nouveau artist, with his poster artwork being an elegant symbol of cafe culture the world over. Mucha’s paintings have a very distinctive style which remains a popular influence for illustrators and graphic artists today. 

The main hallmark of Mucha’s style is often a central female figure, pictured in a sensual, relaxed pose and dressed in classical costume. The hair is often a key element of the design, creating a long, curving point of focus around the figure and emphasising movement. For illustrators, a simple tip for emulating Mucha’s style is to create a thicker line around the silhouette of the figure and the edge of the hair, which pulls the central figure forward from the rest of the image. 

The figure is often surrounded by a highly decorative border, filled with nature-inspired elements like plants, flowers, seashells, or peacock feathers. Rounded, ornate typography is placed behind the figure, giving an almost three-dimensional quality to the design. 

The colors used in the design are also inspired by nature, with warm, earthy tones like terracotta, peach and orange being used alongside leafy greens and sky blues. 

This tutorial is a great introduction to how to emulate Mucha’s style in vector illustration.

2. Borders and Dividers Should Be Ornate and Symmetrical

Art Nouveau is a maximalist design style, so aim to fill any white space on your layout with decorative elements like borders, frames, and dividers. 

Look for vector ornaments which use flowing lines, curved edges, and decorative corners. Organic and nature-inspired elements like vines, feathers and flowers will add to the overall Art Nouveau look. 

This ornament pack is really versatile, allowing you to combine different elements to create a nod to Nouveau style or build up an elaborate design with vine and leaf embellishments.

This set of frames and banners features plenty of natural elements like flowers and leaves to help you create a vintage look.

How can you ensure your design looks beautiful and not overly busy? Art Nouveau designs still use a high degree of symmetry to pull the design together, so make sure to flip your borders to create a pleasing mirrored effect. 

3. Look for Belle-Epoque-Inspired Fonts

Typography is a key part of any Art Nouveau-style layout. The original Art Nouveau type styles were developed and drawn by hand, giving them a curved, natural design. 

Typefaces which are inspired directly by the Art Nouveau movement retain this hand-drawn feel. De Arloy is an authentic replication of Art Nouveau script styles. Delicate serifs and curved ligatures make this a beautiful font choice for poster designs or branding. 

You can find other typefaces which make a nod to the Art Nouveau era, while retaining a contemporary feel. Naive Inline wouldn’t look out of place on a vintage postcard or in a Wes Anderson movie.

4. Try the Style on Stationery and Invitations

The Art Nouveau style isn’t limited to illustrations. You can also emulate the style on simple, type-only layouts by selecting the right font, borders, and colors.

Because Art Nouveau is romantic and emotive, it works particularly well for wedding stationery. Try creating an Art Nouveau design for an invitation or save-the-date card to play up the romantic sensibilities of the style. Touches of metallic foil on borders and typography can make the design feel luxurious and extra special. 

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a wedding invitation in InDesign which uses a stripped-back Art Nouveau style.

5. Use Highlights and Shadows to Create a Modern Effect

Art Nouveau can easily stray into stuffy or old-fashioned territory, particularly if you stick rigidly to an authentic Nouveau style. Some of the best examples of modern Art Nouveau design give the style a unique twist, which keeps the style looking fresh and exciting. 

Try switching a muted color palette for bright neons or pastels. Or incorporate an unexpected subject into your design, like the quirky robot in this vector tutorial.  

Traditional Art Nouveau artwork uses flat design, which creates a collage-style effect. A 3D look was given to the designs through the creation of layers of flat artwork, overlapping elements, and thickly-drawn silhouettes.

Now that we have access to digital software, it’s much easier to break away from the flat style of authentic Art Nouveau and add textures, highlights and shadows to cultivate a more modern 3D look. This tutorial shows how blending a modern vector illustration style with Art Nouveau traits can give an illustration an immersive, pop-culture style. 

Conclusion: The 'New’ Art Nouveau Style

Art Nouveau fell out of fashion in Europe after 1910, with Art Deco and later Modernism becoming the defining design styles of the 20th century. However, although Art Nouveau’s heyday was short-lived (spanning about 20 years), its influence on graphic design and illustration since has been considerable, and many contemporary graphic artists are now revisiting the style for its beauty, ornamental qualities, and romance. 

Here, we’ve looked at a few tips for how you can emulate the Art Nouveau style in your own work, as well as suggesting some ideas for giving the style a modern twist.

To recap, authentic Art Nouveau graphic art and illustration is defined by:

• organic, curved lines and graphics, inspired by natural forms like plants and flowers
• symmetrical layouts and heavy embellishment
• earthy, nature-inspired colors
• romantic, often female, subjects, inspired by classical mythology
• hand-drawn, rounded typography, which is often placed inside decorative banners or borders

You can bring a modern update to the Art Nouveau style by experimenting with a more unconventional color palette, incorporating unusual subjects into your designs, or stripping back your design to create a more minimal layout.

You can find plenty of Art Nouveau and Belle Epoque borders, patterns and fonts over on GraphicRiver and Envato Elements to use on your designs.

Post pobrano z: How to Create a Stylish Magazine Layout in Affinity Publisher

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a simple and stylish magazine spread using Affinity Publisher, the great-value and easy-to-use alternative to Adobe InDesign. 

You’ll pick up some versatile editorial design skills, as well as getting to know your way around the Publisher workspace. Although currently available only as a beta download, Affinity Publisher is slated for release later in the year, so watch this space. 

Need a quick solution for creating your own magazine designs? You can find a wide range of easy-to-edit magazine templates on Envato Elements and GraphicRiver.

What You’ll Need to Create Your Magazine Layout

You can download a free beta version of Affinity Publisher from the Serif website. You’ll also need to download the following fonts and photo from Envato Elements to create the design of the spread pictured: 

• Addington CF font family
• Bw Modelica font family
• Photo of a sprinting greyhound

Install the fonts on your computer, and you’re ready to get started!

1. How to Set Up a Magazine Document in Affinity Publisher

Step 1

Open up Affinity Publisher, and go to File > New.

With the Type set to Print, choose Letter from the Page Preset menu.

With Facing Pages checked, choose Left from the Start on menu. Normally, if you were creating a full magazine, you would choose to start the document on a right page, but for our purposes here of creating one spread, a left-hand page start will suit us. 

From the Color Format menu, choose CMYK/8.

Check the Include Margins box, and set the Inner and Bottom Margin to 1.25 in, and the Top and Outer Margin to 1 in. 

Then click OK. 

Step 2

With your document created, you’ll need to add a bleed to the pages. 

Go to File > Document Setup, and click on Bleed from the trio of menu options in the middle of the window. Set the Bleed to 0.25 in, and then click OK. 

Step 3

On the left side of the workspace, you can see the Pages panel. 

Click on the Add Pages button at the top of the panel, and add one more page to the document. 

Step 4

From the Master Pages panel above, click on the Add Master button. 

Name the master Spread Master and select Facing. All of the remaining options should match the existing settings for the other pages in your document, so keep them as they are and click OK.

Drag the Spread Master down onto Pages 1 and 2 in the Pages panel, to apply the master to both pages in your document. 

Step 5

To help you guide text and content into the right position, it’s a good idea to at least have the margins visible. 

Go to View > Show Margins. 

Step 6

We’re going to use a very simple color palette in our design—just yellow and black. 

In the Swatches panel (docked on the right side of the workspace), choose Add Global Color from the dropdown menu. 

In the window that opens, name the color Yellow and choose CMYK Sliders from the menu below this. 

Set the levels to C=2 M=24 Y=95 and K=0, before clicking Add. 

2. How to Format Elements on Your Master Spread

Step 1

Double-click on the Spread Master icon in the Master Pages panel to bring it up on screen.

Choose the Frame Text Tool (T) from the Tools panel, and drag across the bottom-left corner of the left-hand master page to create a small text frame.

Type in two forward slashes (//), highlight the text, and from the Character panel (on the right side of the workspace), set the Font to Bw Modelica Bold, Size 10 pt. Set the Font Color to Yellow. 

Step 2

With your text tool cursor set in the text frame, after the slashes, go to Text > Insert > Page Number. 

Adjust the Font Color of this page number to Black. 

Step 3

Select the whole text frame with the Move Tool (V) and Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste the frame, moving the copy over to the right corner of the right-hand master page. 

From the top Controls panel, adjust the text to Right Align.

Step 4

Use the Frame Text Tool (T) to create a frame across the top-left corner of the left-hand master page. 

Here you can type in a running header, such as the magazine title and issue number.

Mix up the fonts for interest, setting some text in a sans serif, like Bw Modelica, and some in a serif, like Addington CF. 

Highlight some of the words and change the Font Color to Yellow. 

Step 5

Switch to the Pen Tool and, while holding down Shift, click once on the pasteboard to the left of the running header, and once again where the header begins. 

From the top Controls panel, set the Stroke Color to Yellow and the Weight of the stroke to 0.9 pt. 

Step 6

Copy and Paste the yellow line, positioning the copy to the right of the header text. 

Then extend the right edge of the line so that it extends across the remainder of the left page and right page, across the whole spread. 

Select the Transparency Tool and click once about a third of the way along the left side of the longer line. Click again at the far-right edge of the line, creating a gradual gradient effect across the line.

3. How to Build Up Typography on Your Magazine Spread

Step 1

Double-click on Page 1 in the Pages panel to bring it up on screen. 

Use the Frame Text Tool (T) to create a single tall text frame resting against the left and bottom margin. 

Step 2

Click on the small triangle shape on the bottom-right of the text frame to create a linked text frame. 

Click and drag to the right of the first text frame to create a second linked column. A ‘thread’ will appear between the two frames, showing that they are linked. 

Step 3

You can either type in text directly, paste it over from a Word document, or go to Text > Insert Filler Text to create temporary text for your columns. 

Set the Font to Addington CF Regular, Size 10.5 pt, and set the Leading to 15 pt. 

You can add more interest to your column text by pulling out the first line in a Yellow Font Color, a Bold weight, and a larger 14 pt Font Size. 

Step 4

Create a very large text frame, matching the height of the columns, overlapping the right column and extending across the width of the right page. 

Type in ‘GO’, setting the Font to Bw Modelica Medium, Size 610 pt, and Font Color to Yellow. 

Step 5

From the Layers panel (on the right side of the workspace) bring the Opacity of the text frame down to 95%.

Use the Transparency Tool to create a gradient effect across the right side of the text frame. 

Step 6

With the text frame selected, click on the Move to Back button in the top Controls panel, to bring the column text forward and make it more legible. 

4. How to Add an Image to Your Magazine Spread

Step 1

Select the Picture Frame Tool and drag across the right-hand page, creating a frame just shy of the height of the columns. 

Go to File > Place. Navigate to the image of the racing greyhound you downloaded earlier, and click Open. 

Use Shift to scale the image inside the frame, before clicking Flip Horizontal in the top Controls panel to flip the image so that the dog is facing towards the center of the spread.

Step 2

With the image frame selected, click on Move to Back at the top of the workspace.

5. How to Add a Pull Quote to Your Layout

Step 1

Use the Frame Text Tool (T) to create a text frame across the top-right of Page 2. 

Type in a pull quote, only typing an apostrophe at the end of the quote. Set the Font to Addington CF, Medium Italic, Size 45 pt.

Switch the font weight of some of the text, such as pulling out certain phrases in Thin Italic, to create contrast and improve readability.

Step 2

Highlight some of the text and switch the Font Color to Yellow.

Create a separate small text frame at the top-left corner of the pull quote frame, and type in an opening apostrophe (“). Set the Font to Addington CF Thin Italic, Size 160 pt, and the Font Color to Yellow. 

6. How to Export Your Magazine Artwork

Whether you create a single spread or a whole magazine, the process of exporting your artwork in Affinity Publisher for printing is quick and simple.

Go to File > Export. 

Click on PDF from the options running along the top of the window.

Choose PDF (for print) from the Preset menu, before clicking Export.

Select the Transparency Tool and click once about a third of the way along the left side of the longer line. Click again at the far-right edge of the line, creating a gradual gradient effect across the line.

3. How to Build Up Typography on Your Magazine Spread

Step 1

Double-click on Page 1 in the Pages panel to bring it up on screen. 

Use the Frame Text Tool (T) to create a single tall text frame resting against the left and bottom margin. 

Step 2

Click on the small triangle shape on the bottom-right of the text frame to create a linked text frame. 

Click and drag to the right of the first text frame to create a second linked column. A ‘thread’ will appear between the two frames, showing that they are linked. 

Step 3

You can either type in text directly, paste it over from a Word document, or go to Text > Insert Filler Text to create temporary text for your columns. 

Set the Font to Addington CF Regular, Size 10.5 pt, and set the Leading to 15 pt. 

You can add more interest to your column text by pulling out the first line in a Yellow Font Color, a Bold weight, and a larger 14 pt Font Size. 

Step 4

Create a very large text frame, matching the height of the columns, overlapping the right column and extending across the width of the right page. 

Type in ‘GO’, setting the Font to Bw Modelica Medium, Size 610 pt, and Font Color to Yellow. 

Step 5

From the Layers panel (on the right side of the workspace) bring the Opacity of the text frame down to 95%.

Use the Transparency Tool to create a gradient effect across the right side of the text frame. 

Step 6

With the text frame selected, click on the Move to Back button in the top Controls panel, to bring the column text forward and make it more legible. 

4. How to Add an Image to Your Magazine Spread

Step 1

Select the Picture Frame Tool and drag across the right-hand page, creating a frame just shy of the height of the columns. 

Go to File > Place. Navigate to the image of the racing greyhound you downloaded earlier, and click Open. 

Use Shift to scale the image inside the frame, before clicking Flip Horizontal in the top Controls panel to flip the image so that the dog is facing towards the center of the spread.

Step 2

With the image frame selected, click on Move to Back at the top of the workspace.

5. How to Add a Pull Quote to Your Layout

Step 1

Use the Frame Text Tool (T) to create a text frame across the top-right of Page 2. 

Type in a pull quote, only typing an apostrophe at the end of the quote. Set the Font to Addington CF, Medium Italic, Size 45 pt.

Switch the font weight of some of the text, such as pulling out certain phrases in Thin Italic, to create contrast and improve readability.

Step 2

Highlight some of the text and switch the Font Color to Yellow.

Create a separate small text frame at the top-left corner of the pull quote frame, and type in an opening apostrophe (“). Set the Font to Addington CF Thin Italic, Size 160 pt, and the Font Color to Yellow. 

6. How to Export Your Magazine Artwork

Whether you create a single spread or a whole magazine, the process of exporting your artwork in Affinity Publisher for printing is quick and simple.

Go to File > Export. 

Click on PDF from the options running along the top of the window.

Choose PDF (for print) from the Preset menu, before clicking Export.
