She said she liked my Assassin pictures too. It made me feel good about them! When I get home I'm going to rewrite the text on it so it's more presentable. I found a lovely Deco style font to use.
On the topic of styles, I was wondering which movement to use - Art Deco or Art Nouveau - or if I could use a mix of the two. Obviously Art Deco was the one associated with the time, which suggests I should use that, but it's not like all the Art Nouveau stuff disappeared overnight.
On one hand, I think the swirly, flowy girlyness of Nouveau suits the Assassin. She'd have a lot of money, and I assume Nouveau trinkets were worth a lot after the war, so she'd like to splash out on expensive things like that.
But.
Would it be outdated? Though it was only a decade or two before, that's the equivalent of me wearing fluorescent parachute pants now. It'd look stupid.
But maybe furniture goes out of style slower than clothes?
While Deco is nice, and would fit in, I wonder if it'd be a mishmash to combine it with Nouveau elements.
If I can only pick one, I'm leaning towards Deco, but I'd like some flowwy femininity in there too. I imagine the flapper look is partly a front - if only a little bit - and deep down she perhaps enjoys some retro elegance.
EDIT: After having a thorough look, I think she's going to stay mainly Deco. Though Nouveau is glamorous, I don't think it has enough 'edge' to suit her tastes. It's all a bit too demure.
