Post modern graphic design...


Terry Jones,i.d young British culture magazine, published 1980, found on wordpress.com.

This is a piece of Postmodern graphic design because of the way in which it fights against the strict constraints of design, it has been designed using an aggressive collaged style in order to be young and cultured and appeal to its target audience, its much about rebellion.


Sex pistols music poster, released in 1977.

This music poster is postmodern again because of the way it rebells againsts the traditional techniques of graphic design and poster design, its design was seen as so rebellious that the actual song was band after people thought the poster was personally attacking the Queen, when in actual fact it was meant to be portraying old Britain.


Barbara Kruger, 1981.

This piece is very unconventional, it goes against the rules of typography. It has been designed in a way that is very untraditional to what we know, the layout and the way that the text has been organised like a ransom note is very unconventional.

This example of post modernism uses traits from other artists work rather than designing from scratch. It uses a similar style to Weingart and even Kandinsky.

The use of collage in this poster, using well recognised faces makes it more appealing and it also makes it witty, which was part of the post modern design. The use of collage was also a new way of working, unlike traditional methods such as painting.
