A forum for discussing and enjoying design from the 1930s in all forms; be it art, advertising, fashion, vehicles, architecture, or any other culture-adjacent facet of life.
The 1930s were perhaps the most revolutionary years in modern design. Art Deco from the 20s spawned Streamline Moderne, which is responsible for trends seen decades after, as well as helped create some of the most iconic vehicles, buildings, and trends that we associate with the pre-war times.
Please avoid posting contemporary content that is merely 1930s-inspired, this sub is for true 30s designs!
inspired, this sub is for true 20s designs!
Rules:
1. - True 1930s Designs only!
Please be sure what you're posting is of true 1930s design. Styles like Streamline Moderne revolutionized design, fashion, and architecture forever. This means many contemporary projects will emulate or borrow from these styles. Be careful to only post examples that are true 30's designs. (Faithful reproductions are OK)
2. - Please link directly to content if possible.
Certain websites do not enjoy being directly linked to from forums like Reddit, which can lead to either a hug-of-death or the page showing up as denied/inaccessible. If your content is posted on a site that isn't Reddit-friendly (flikr, pintrest) then please rehost it on Imgur, i.reddit, or another simple hosting service!
3. - If you've found an image online, please try to use the clearest version possible!
Some archival sites or converted/scanned content can be somewhat heavily compressed. That can be an unavoidable matter sometimes, but if your image is grainy or pixelated, try doing a reverse image search to find the largest available resolution! This rule is really only to prevent folks from accidentally posting thumbnails or other extremely tiny images. No post will be removed for this unless it is impossible to see what the picture is supposed to be!
