One of the most fun parts of the design process is gathering inspiration. This is something I do at the start of every project. I was going through some old client work and found a custom holiday card that I designed for my client Junkyard Showroom, a jewelry and accessories showroom back in 2012. My client wanted a vintage, art deco aesthetic with a glittery, gilded peacock so my inspiration file is filled with gorgeous vintage peacock illustrations, iridescent peacock feathers, and other related imagery. Below is a showcase of over 90 vintage art deco peacock art, designs, and illustrations. Enjoy browsing this collection of vintage advertisements, antique posters, contemporary abstract artwork, art nouveau etchings, and vintage woodcut prints with ornamental motifs. I hope these inspire you as well.
And just for fun, here is a recording of ‘Desert Dreams’ by Leonard Lewin, Selvin’s novelty orchestra, year unknown. Sheet Music Cover Art by Albert Wilfred Barbelle.
